3		No	No DTC is displayed: Go to the next step.
4	INSPECT FUEL LINE PRESSURE Install the fuel pressure gauge between the fuel pipe and fuel distributor. Start the engine and idle it. Measure the fuel line pressure during idle. (See FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION .) Is the fuel line pressure correct during idle?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Zero or low: Inspect for the following: Fuel pump relay Fuel pump circuit Fuel line for clogging If there is no malfunction, replace the fuel pump unit.
