Inspection







FUEL PUMP
a. Inspect fuel pump resistance.
1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

Resistance: 0.2 - 3.0 Ohm at 20 °C (68 °F)

b. Inspect fuel pump operation
1. Apply battery voltage to both terminals. Check that the pump operates.

NOTE: These tests must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.
GKeep fuel pump as far away from the battery as possible.
Always do the switching at the battery side.
