Fuel Pump Output Check
- A Schrader valve is located on the fuel rail for easy access to the fuel pressure. See Figure
- See Fig 1for fuel feed and return line identification.
- Engine does not have a fuel pump prime connector. Rather, ALDL terminal G is spliced directly into the fuel pump power circuit. Hence, the fuel pump can be manually powered by jumping a power feed to terminal G. See Fig 2
See chart A-7 to check fuel pressure and diagnose any incorrect fuel pressures. The A-charts are not contained in this article. They can be found in the appropriate article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
