I.INTRODUCTIONCongratulations. You have purchased a precision instrument manufactured tothe highest quality standards.This Fuel Injection Pressure Tester Kit is designed to perform fuel pressure testson most domestic and imported cars and trucks that are equipped with electronic fuel injection systems. The tester saves you money by helping you test andtroubleshoot fuel system problems that can affect your vehicle's performance andfuel economy.The tester can help you identify and diagnose:II. Low fuel pressure Leaking fuel injectors Faulty fuel pressure regulator Clogged fuel filter Leaks in the fuel system Faulty fuel pumpSAFETY PRECAUTIONSTo avoid personal injury, instrument damage and/or damage to equipment under test, DO NOT operate the tester before reading this manual.ALWAYS use extreme caution when working on an automobile.This manual describes common test procedures used by experienced service personnel and technicians. Many test procedures require precautions to avoid accidents that can result in personal injury, and/or vehicle or equipment damage.ALWAYS read your vehicle's service manual and follow it’s safety precautions before any test or procedure is performed.3642a.When an engine is in operation, it produces carbon monoxide (a toxic andpoisonous gas). To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning, operate a vehicle ONLY in a well-ventilated area.b.To protect your eyes from propelled objects as well as hot or caustic liquids,always wear approved safety eye protection.c.When an engine is running, several engine components rotate at a very highrate of speed (coolant fan, pulleys, fan belt, etc.). To avoid serious injury,always be conscious of moving parts and keep a safe distance from all theseitems as well as other potentially moving objects.d.Engine parts become extremely hot when the engine is running. To preventsevere burns, avoid contact with hot engine parts.e.Before starting an engine for troubleshooting, make sure the parking brakeis engaged. Put the transmission in “park” (for automatic transmission) or“neutral” (for manual transmission). Block the drive wheels with a suitableblocking device.f.NEVER leave a vehicle unattended during testing.g.When working on vehicles equipped with airbags, follow all cautions and testprocedures in your vehicle's service manual to avoid accidental airbagdeployment.h.Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry when working on an engine. Loose clothing can get caught on the fan, pulleys, belts, etc. Jewelry is highly conductiveto electricity, and can cause a severe burn if it makes contact between apower source and ground.1

The following safety precautions apply to fuel and fuel systems. Gasoline is anextremely flammable substance. To prevent fires and/or severe burns, alwaystake extra precautions when troubleshooting or working on fuel systems.i.Gasoline and battery vapors are highly flammable. To prevent an explosionor fire, keep all sparks, high temperature items or open flames away fromgasoline/gasoline vapors and battery. DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE VEHICLE DURING TESTING.j.Gasoline and gasoline additives are toxic. AVOID CONTACT OF GASOLINE WITH SKIN. Wear protective clothing and hand covering (approvedlatex gloves) when performing pressure tests. In case of contact with skin,WASH THE AREA IMMEDIATELY and perform any other necessary firstaid.k.In case of emergency, keep a fire extinguisher handy. MAKE SURE it israted for fuel/electrical and chemical fires.l.During testing, be careful to avoid fuel spills on hot engine parts. If spillsoccur or if leaks are present, turn ignition off IMMEDIATELY and correctthe problem. WIPE UP FUEL SPELLS IMMEDIATELY.m. When placing the bleed-off hose into a container to collect excess fuel, MAKESURE the container is approved for gasoline.III.VEHICLE SERVICE MANUALSYou must consult the manufacturer's service manual for your vehicle BEFOREperforming any test procedures.Contact your local car dealership, auto parts store, bookstore, or public library foravailability of these manuals. The following companies publish valuable repairmanuals, including material that covers fuel injection systems and testing techniques.Haynes Publications, 861 Lawrence Drive, Newbury Park, CA 91320, Phone:CA (800) 442-9637, TN (800) 242-4637Motor Publications, 5600 Crooks Road, Suite 200, Troy, Michigan 48098,Phone (800) 426-6867Mitchell International, 14145 Danielson Street, Poway, CA 92064, Phone (888)724-6742Factory Source (Ford, GM, Chrysler, Honda, Isuzu, Hyundai and SubaruService Manuals; Helm Inc., 14310 Hamilton Avenue, Highland Park, Michigan48203, Phone (800) 782-4356IV.VEHICLES COVEREDThis Fuel Injection Pressure Tester Kit is designed for use on vehicles equippedwith electronic fuel injection systems only (Multi-port, Sequential, Multi-point,Direct, Throttle Body, etc.). DO NOT USE ON DIESEL SYSTEMS.The kit includes adapters to be used on the following fuel injection system applications:21.All fuel injection systems that are factory equipped with suitable fuel pressure Test Ports (Schrader Valves). See "Connecting To Systems With ExistingTest Ports (Schrader Valves)", page 12 for further instructions.2.Fuel injection systems that are equipped with a removable "Fuel SystemPressure Fitting" that facilitates the use of the "Fuel System PressureFitting Adapter". See "Connecting to Systems Using Fuel System PressureFitting Adapter", page 13 for further instructions.3642

3.Fuel injection systems that are not factory equipped with Fuel Pressure TestPorts or removable Fuel System Pressure Fittings but are equipped with"flexible rubber fuel supply lines" that can facilitate the use of the "TeeAdapter". See "Connecting To Systems Using the In-line Tee Adapter", page14 for further instructions.The following vehicle coverage tables and lists are to be used only as ageneral guide. They are in no way intended as a substitute for vehiclemanufacturer's instructions and procedures. Damage to the vehiclebeing tested, the test equipment or personal injury can result fromimproper testing procedures. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for proper fitting size, application, installation and test procedures.Fuel Pressure Test Port (Schrader Valve) ApplicationDomestic Vehicles (198001) Non-diesel - Includeslight trucks and vansSystem Type/Application Models with electronic fuel injection systems (Multi-port, Sequential, Multi-point,Direct and Throttle Body) which are factory-equipped with a Fuel Pressure Test Port(Schrader Valve). If your vehicle is made by one of the manufacturers on this list but does not comeequipped with a Test Port, see note below.Dodge, Chrysler, PlymouthFord, Lincoln, MercuryGMC, Chevrolet, Buick,Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saturn,CadillacJeep, EagleNOTE: Some models of vehicles listed on the "Fuel Pressure Test Port (SchraderValve) Application" list above do not come equipped with fuel pressure test ports(Schrader Valves). These vehicles may require additional tools and/or adapters toproperly test fuel system pressure. If your vehicle is on this list but is not factoryequipped with a fuel pressure test port, refer to your vehicle's service manual orconsult your auto parts dealer for the availability of these items and/or for fuelsystem testing procedures.
