Caution: Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly flammable. A fire could occur if an ignition source is present. Never drain or store gasoline or diesel fuel in an open container, due to the possibility of fire or explosion. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
Tools Required
J 34730-1A Fuel Pressure Gauge
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid possible fuel discharge if an accidental attempt is made to start the engine.
- Loosen the fuel filler cap to relieve tank vapor pressure.
- Remove the fuel injector sight shield. Refer to Fuel Injector Sight Shield Replacement in Engine Mechanical.
- Remove the fuel pressure connection.
- Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure connection while connecting the fuel pressure gauge in order to avoid spillage.
- Connect the fuel pressure gauge J 34730-1A to the fuel pressure connection.
- Install the bleed hose into an approved container and open the valve to bleed the system pressure. The fuel connections are now safe for servicing.
- Drain any fuel remaining in the fuel pressure gauge into an approved container.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
