Inspection

INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY

NOTICE:

This inspection is for checking the fuel injector assembly for an open or short. Because the fuel injector assembly of this vehicle is a high-pressure type, fuel injection volume cannot be checked.

(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
1 - 2	20°C (68°F)	1.74 to 2.04 Ω

If the result is not as specified, replace the fuel injector assembly.

Installation

INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL FUEL INJECTOR SEAL

(a) Apply engine conditioner to the area shown in the illustration. Using a piece of cloth, clean carbon deposits from the fuel injector assembly and its grooves.

NOTICE:

Do not clean the tip of the fuel injector assembly.
Do not use a wire brush to clean the fuel injector assembly.
If a fuel injector assembly is dropped or the tip of the fuel injector assembly is struck, replace it with a new one.

*a	Area to be Cleaned

(b) Apply engine oil to the fuel injector assembly contact surface of SST (guide), then attach SST (guide) to the fuel injector assembly with the chamfer facing the tip of the fuel injector assembly as shown in the illustration.
