Diagnostic Procedure

Before fuel pressure inspection, fuel quality must be inspected first.

Fuel quality inspection
1.

Inspect fuel leakage visually from fuel tank and fuel pump mounting point.

2.

Inspect fuel quality and inside of fuel tank after removing fuel pump.

3.

Check contamination of fuel filter and foreign substances in the fuel filter.

4.

Art the fuel quality, fuel tank and fuel filter normal?

▶ Go to "Fuel supply state inspection" procedure as below.

▶ Repair or replace fuel tank and fuel system.

Characteristic of abnormal gasoline
5.

Toxic odor

6.

Eyes stung

7.

Hard vaporizing

8.

Knocking suddenly after fuelling up

9.

Hard starting after fuelling up (In the winter)

Influence of abnormal gasoline
10.

Knocking

11.

Excessive fuel consumption

12.

Poor power/acceleration

13.

Fuel system damage such as fuel pump, Injector and component of the combustion-camber damage such as piston etc...

14.

Deposit rising or corrosion (in the engine and fuel system)

15.

Fuel pressure decrease or Engine stalling by vapor lock.

16.

Impossible starting by low volatile

17.

Discharge carcinogen

18.

Discharge pollutant (CO, HC, NOx etc...)

Normal fuel and abnormal fuel
Case study:Fuel filter is blocked
Fuel pressure inspection
19.

Measure the fuel pressure at idle after installing a fuel pressure gauge to delivery pipe.

☞ Install a fuel pressure gauge after combustion in the fuel line by removing fuel pump relay.

■ Specification : 324 ~ 363 kPa (3.3 ~ 3.7 kgf/㎠, 46.9 ~ 52.6 psi)

20.

Is fuel pressure within the specification?

▶ Go to "Fuel remain pressure inspection" procedure as below.

▶ Repair or replace fuel leakage parts in the fuel filter and fuel hose (whether it is stuck or not).

▶ Replace the fuel pump.

Remain pressure inspection
21.

Monitor fuel pressure at fuel pressure inspection as above.

22.

Engine "STOP"

23.

Check decrease in fuel pressure.

■ Specification : After engine stops, the gage reading should hold for about 5 minutes.

24.

Does the fuel pressure remain after engine stop?

▶ Go to "ECTS inspection" procedure.

▶ Replace the fuel pump. (Check valve does not remain pressure.)

▶ Repair or replace fuel leakage parts in the fuel filter and fuel line.
