1. Check the fuel pressure.
Is the fuel pressure OK?
YES -
- Go to step 2 (Except AT-PZEV (SULEV) model).
- Check the valve clearances and adjust if necessary. If the valve clearances are OK, replace the injectors (AT-PZEV (SULEV) model).
NO - Check these items:
- If the pressure is too high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
- If the pressure is too low, check the fuel pump, the fuel feed pipe, and the fuel filter, and replace the fuel pressure regulator.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Disconnect the vacuum hose (A), and apply vacuum to the hose from the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister side.
Does it hold vacuum?
YES - Check the valve clearances and adjust if necessary. If the valve clearances are OK, replace the injectors.
NO - Replace the EVAP canister purge valve.
