  1. Disconnect negative battery cable and wiring connector from the cold start injector. Place a container or shop towel under front end of delivery pipe.
  2. Slowly loosen the union bolt of the cold start injector hose and remove the bolt and 2 gaskets from the delivery pipe. Drain fuel in delivery pipe.
  3. Install fuel pressure gauge as shown in Fig. 3.  Wipe off any spilled fuel and reconnect battery cable. Start engine.

  4. Disconnect and plug vacuum sensing hose from the pressure regulator. With engine idling, check that fuel pressure is 33-38 psi (2.3-2.7 kg/cm2 ).
  5. If pressure is high, replace pressure regulator. If pressure is low, check fuel hoses and connections, fuel pump, filter and pressure regulator for leaks.
  6. Reconnect vacuum sensing hose to pressure regulator. With engine idling, check that fuel pressure is 28-33 psi (2.0-2.3 kg/cm2 ). If pressure is high, replace pressure regulator.
  7. Turn ignition switch "OFF". If pressure drops quickly, check fuel pump, pressure regulator and/or injectors. Disconnect negative battery cable. Carefully remove pressure gauge. Using new gaskets, reinstall removed parts.
