- Disconnect fuel delivery unit electrical harness connector - arrow -.





- Push the battery cover to the right - arrow 1 - and remove it upward - arrow 2 -.





- Release the retaining clip - arrow A - and open the positive terminal cover - 2 -.





- Connect a Hand held remote control (jumper) to terminal - 1 - of the fuel delivery unit and to vehicle battery (+).

- Connect a jumper cable from a Electrical connector test lead set to terminal - 4 - of the fuel delivery unit and to vehicle Ground (GND).





- Remove the fuel filler cap from the fuel filler tube.

- Remove the rear engine cover - arrows -.





CAUTION!
Fuel system is under pressure! Before opening system, place clean rags around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully loosening the connection.

- Disconnect the fuel line at the fuel rail - arrow -.





- Connect a Fuel pressure test set (high pressure) to the fuel line.





- Connect a hose - arrow - to pressure gauge and hold it in the measuring container.

- Open the shutoff valve of the pressure gauge. The lever points in the direction of flow.

- Press the switch of the remote control and slowly close the shutoff valve of the pressure gauge.

The fuel pressure should rise.

• Specification: 4 BAR positive pressure.

- Do not move the shutoff valve position.

- Empty the measuring container.

- Press the remote control switch in for 15 seconds.

- Compare the quantity of fuel delivered with the minimum delivery rate in the diagram (cm3/15s).





• Voltage at fuel pump with engine stopped and pump running is approx. 2 volts less than battery voltage.

If the minimum fuel delivery quantity is not obtained, the following malfunctions may be present:

• Fuel lines pinched. Check fuel lines for damage. Repair or replace as necessary. Refer to Fuel Supply System Repair Information.

• Fuel filter clogged. Replace the fuel filter. Refer to Fuel Supply System Repair Information.

• Fuel pump faulty. Check the fuel pump. Refer to Fuel Supply System Repair Information
