VISUAL INSPECTION

Visually inspect all electrical wiring for chafed, stretched, cut or pinched wiring. Ensure electrical connectors fit tightly and are not corroded. Ensure vacuum hoses are properly routed and not pinched or cut. See VACUUM DIAGRAMS article to verify routing and connections. Inspect air induction system for possible vacuum leaks.

Basic Diagnosis

Begin basic diagnosis of fuel system by determining fuel system pressure. Check fuel pump operation. If fuel pump fails to run, inspect power supply to PGM-FI main relay. If all power supplies are present (i.e., battery, ignition and starter switch during cranking), perform functional test of PGM-FI main relay. See WIRING DIAGRAMS and SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING articles.

Pressure Testing (Accord & S2000)

  1. Disconnect negative battery terminal. Release fuel pressure. See «FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE»(ref-3102-S30996562082000041700000) . Remove fuel pulsation damper. Connect Fuel Pressure Gauge (07406-0040001 on Accord, or 07406-004000A on S2000) and Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter (07VAJ-0040100). Reconnect negative battery terminal. Disconnect vacuum hose from fuel pressure regulator and pinch line closed. Start engine and allow to idle. If engine starts, go to step 3 . If engine will not start, go to next step.
  2. Remove fuel fill cap. Have an assistant turn ignition on. Listen for fuel pump operation at fuel fill tube. Fuel pump should run for 2 seconds. If fuel pump does not operate properly, test fuel pump. See FUEL SYSTEM in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article. If fuel pump operates properly, go to next step.
  3. Read fuel pressure. See «FUEL PRESSURE»(ref-3102-S15019311392000041700000) table. Attempt to start engine. If engine does not start, repair engine as necessary and go to next step. If engine starts and fuel pressure is as specified, go to next step. If engine starts and fuel pressure is not as specified, go to step 5 .
  4. With engine idling, release and reconnect vacuum hose to fuel pressure regulator. Read fuel pressure. See «FUEL PRESSURE»(ref-3102-S15019311392000041700000) table. If fuel pressure is as specified, fuel system is okay at this time. If pressure is not as specified, go to next step.
  5. With engine idling, disconnect vacuum hose from pressure regulator again. Pressure should rise when hose is disconnected. If pressure did not rise, replace fuel pressure regulator. If pressure rose, but readings were lower than specified, check for clogged fuel filter or fuel line leakage. If pressure rose, but readings were higher than specified, check for pinched or clogged fuel return hose.
  6. Relieve fuel pressure and remove gauge. Reinstall fuel pulsation damper using NEW copper washers and tighten to 16 ft. lbs. (22 N.m). Start engine and check for leaks.

Pressure Testing (Civic, CR-V & Prelude)

  1. Disconnect negative battery terminal. Release fuel pressure. See «FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE»(ref-3102-S30996562082000041700000) . On Civic and CR-V, remove 12-mm banjo bolt from top of fuel filter. On Prelude, remove banjo bolt from fuel rail. On all models, connect Fuel Pressure Gauge (07406-0040001) and Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter (90008-PD6-010). Reconnect negative battery terminal. Disconnect vacuum hose from fuel pressure regulator and pinch line closed. Start engine, and read fuel pressure. If engine starts, go to next step. If engine will not start, turn ignition on, wait for 2 seconds, turn ignition off, then on again and read fuel pressure. See «FUEL PRESSURE»(ref-3102-S15019311392000041700000) table.
  2. With engine idling, reconnect vacuum hose to fuel pressure regulator and release fuel return line. Read fuel pressure. Both gauge readings should be within specification. See «FUEL PRESSURE»(ref-3102-S15019311392000041700000) table. If fuel pressure readings are within specification, go to next step. If fuel pressure is not as specified, check fuel pump operation. See FUEL SYSTEM in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article. If fuel pressure is higher than specified, check for pinched or clogged fuel return hose or defective fuel pressure regulator. If fuel pressure is lower than specified, check for clogged fuel filter, defective fuel pressure regulator or fuel line leakage.
  3. Relieve fuel pressure and remove gauge. On Civic and CR-V, tighten 12-mm banjo bolt to 25 ft. lbs. (33 N.m). On Prelude, tighten 12-mm banjo bolt to 16 ft. lbs. (22 N.m). Start engine and check for leaks.

Pressure Testing (Odyssey)

  1. Disconnect negative battery terminal. Release fuel pressure. See «FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE»(ref-3102-S30996562082000041700000) . Remove fuel pulsation damper. Connect Fuel Pressure Gauge (07406-0040001 on Accord, or 07406-004000A on S2000) and Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter (07VAJ-0040100). Reconnect negative battery terminal. Disconnect vacuum hose from fuel pressure regulator and pinch line closed. Start engine and allow to idle. If engine starts, go to step 3 . If engine will not start, go to next step.
  2. Remove fuel fill cap. Have an assistant turn ignition on. Listen for fuel flow at fuel injector rails underneath intake manifold cover. Fuel flow should be heard for 2 seconds. If fuel flow is heard (fuel pump operates properly), go to next step. If fuel flow is not heard (fuel pump does not operate properly), test fuel pump. See FUEL SYSTEM in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article.
  3. Read fuel pressure. See «FUEL PRESSURE»(ref-3102-S15019311392000041700000) table. Attempt to start engine. If engine does not start, repair engine as necessary and go to next step. If engine starts and fuel pressure is as specified, go to next step. If engine starts and fuel pressure is not as specified, go to step 5 .
  4. With engine idling, release and reconnect vacuum hose to fuel pressure regulator. Read fuel pressure. See «FUEL PRESSURE»(ref-3102-S15019311392000041700000) table. If fuel pressure is as specified, fuel system is okay at this time. If pressure is not as specified, go to next step.
  5. With engine idling, disconnect vacuum hose from pressure regulator again. Pressure should rise when hose is disconnected. If pressure did not rise, replace fuel pressure regulator. If pressure rose, but readings were lower than specified, check for clogged fuel filter or fuel line leakage. If pressure rose, but readings were higher than specified, check for pinched or clogged fuel return hose.
  6. Relieve fuel pressure and remove gauge. Reinstall fuel pulsation damper using NEW copper washers and tighten to 16 ft. lbs. (22 N.m). Start engine and check for leaks.
