Special Tools Required
- Fuel pressure gauge 07406-004000B
- Fuel pressure gauge attachment set 07AAJ-S6MA150

- Relieve the fuel pressure (see «FUEL PRESSURE RELIEVING»(ref-290822-S08193520882008072200000) ).
- Disconnect the quick-connect fitting. Attach the fuel pressure gauge set and the fuel pressure gauge.
- Start the engine, and let it idle. If the engine starts, go to step 5 . If the engine does not start, go to step 4 .
- Check to see if the fuel pump is running: listen to the fuel filler port with the fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned on. If the pump runs, go to step 5 . If the pump does not run, do «FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-290822-S20697223412008072200000) ).
- Read the fuel pressure gauge. The pressure should be: 320-370 kPa (3.3-3.8 kgf/cm 2 , 47-54 psi) If the pressure is OK, the test is complete. If the pressure is out of specification, replace the fuel pressure regulator (see «FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-290822-S07352676912008072200000) ) and the fuel filter (see «FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT»(ref-290822-S42039669582008072200000) ), then recheck the fuel pressure.

- Relieve the fuel pressure (see «FUEL PRESSURE RELIEVING»(ref-290822-S08193520882008072200000) ).
- Remove the fuel fill cap.
- Remove the center console (see «CENTER CONSOLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-290853-S34235352102008072200000) ).
- Fold back the floor mat until the access panel is accessible. Remove the access panel (A) from the floor.
- Disconnect the fuel tank unit 5P connector (B).
- Disconnect the quick-connect fitting (C) from the fuel tank unit.
- Using the special tool, loosen the lock-nut (A).
- Remove the lock-nut (A) and the fuel tank unit (B).

- Temporarily attach a new base gasket (A) to the fuel tank unit (B), then insert the fuel tank unit into the fuel tank. NOTE: Be careful not to damage the new base gasket. Be careful not to bend the fuel gauge sending unit. Do not coat the base gasket with oil.
- Set the base gasket (A) from the fuel tank unit to the fuel tank.
- Align the marks (B) on the fuel tank and the fuel tank unit, then insert the fuel tank unit into the fuel tank until the fuel tank unit rest on top of the sticking on a base gasket. NOTE: To avoid a fuel leak, check the base gasket, visually or by hand, to make sure it is not pinched.
- Using the tool, tighten a new lock-nut (A) to the specified torque. NOTE: After tightening, make sure the marks are still aligned. After installation, check the base gasket visually or by hand to be sure the gasket is not pinched.
- Connect the fuel tank unit 5P connector, then connect the quick-connect fitting.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II) (but do not operate the starter motor). The fuel pump will run for about 2 seconds, and fuel pressure will rise. Repeat this two or three times, then check that there is no leakage in the fuel supply system.
- Install the access panel.
- Install the center console (see «CENTER CONSOLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-290853-S34235352102008072200000) ).
- Install the fuel fill cap.

- Remove the fuel tank unit (see «FUEL TANK UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-290822-S24543871492008072200000) ).
- Remove the clip (A).
- Remove the fuel pressure regulator (B).
- Install the parts in the reverse order of removal with new O-rings (C). Make sure the regulator is installed with the drain hole (D) facing down. NOTE: Coat the O-rings with clean engine oil. Do not pinch the O-rings during installation. Never apply brake fluid, vegetable oil, or alcohol-based oil to the O-rings.
