head.
C. Install a suitable blank on the fuel inlet port on the primary fuel
filter head.
D. Place the open end of the fuel inlet line in a suitable calibrated
container.
E. With the keyswitch in the ON position, measure the input volt-
age at the EFLP. Record the result.
F. With the keyswitch in the ON position, measure the flow from
the fuel inlet line. Record the result.
G. Check the recorded voltage and fuel flow on the graph in Illus-
tration 29 or 30 .
EFLP flow Result: The fuel flow is below the minimum value for the
recorded voltage.
Repair: Replace the EFLP. Refer to Disassembly and As-
sembly, “Fuel Priming Pump - Remove and Install ”.
Result: The fuel flow is above the minimum value for the
recorded voltage.
Proceed to Test Step 10.
10. Check the Return Fuel Lines
A. Make sure that the TPIR return line is not blocked or kinked..
B. If the TPIR return line is clear, confirm that the Electric Fuel Lift
Pump (EFLP) is operating. Make sure that fuel lines between the
EFLP and the TPIR are not blocked or kinked.
Return lines Result: The TPIR return line or the fuel lines between the
EFLP and the TPIR are blocked or kinked.
Repair: Clear or replace the blocked line.
Result: The TPIR return line and the fuel lines between
the EFLP and the TPIR are clear.
Repair: Replace the EFLP.
If the fault is still present, proceed to Test Step 11.
11. Valve Lash
Note: The valve lash can affect the performance of the engine.
A. Check the valve lash.
Valve lash Result: The valve lash is not correct.
Repair: Check the valve lash. Refer to Systems Opera-
tion, Testing, and Adjusting, “Engine Valve Lash - Inspect”
for the correct procedure.
Result: The valve lash is correct.
Proceed to Test Step 12.
