1. Disconnect fuel hose from pressure regulator and install a suitable fuel pressure gauge onto hose.
2. Connect hose onto pressure regulator.
3. With engine operating, measure fuel pressure at engine idle speed.
4. Fuel pressure should be 26-30 psi.
5. Increase engine speed and check to ensure that fuel pressure increases.
