Measurement - Engine Will Start
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- This part of the procedure is for measuring the low pressure system for an engine that will start.
- Check for air in the fuel with engine running at idle.
- Check for air in the fuel in the Tool (A) between the fuel supply line and the Stage 1 fuel filter inlet.
- Check for air in the fuel in the Tool (A) between the Stage 1 fuel filter outlet and the fuel supply line.
- There should not be any air present.
Tool
:-- - (J-54420)
- Check for air in the fuel with engine running at idle.
- Refer to the appropriate troubleshooting tree for repair direction.NOTE: If air in the fuel is not present before the Stage 1 fuel filter, but present at the outlet of the Stage 1 fuel filter, this indicates air is being ingested at the inlet connection to the Stage 1 fuel filter or the Stage 1 fuel filter.
- Measure inlet restriction with the engine running at low idle.
Maximum fuel inlet restriction at idle
: 20 kPa (0.204 kg/cm 2 , 2.9 psi)
- Measure drain line restriction with the engine running at low idle.
Maximum drain line restriction at idle
: 100 kPa (1.02 kg/cm 2 , 14.5 psi)
- Measure the fuel filter restriction with the engine running at low idle.
- Record the fuel pressure at the inlet of the Stage 2 fuel filter from the fuel pressure gauge or multimeter.
- Record the fuel pressure at the outlet of the Stage 2 fuel filter through CONSULT (Fuel Supply Pressure).
- The fuel pressure reading in CONSULT is in absolute pressure. Make sure the ambient pressure is subtracted from the CONSULT reading so that the pressures are in gage.
- Subtract the inlet reading from the outlet reading to determine the fuel filter restriction.
Maximum pressure drop across fuel filter
: 34 kPa (0.35 kg/cm 2 , 4.9 psi)
