Cold Engine Control Pressure Test

  1. Install pressure gauge and valve in fuel line between fuel distributor and control pressure regulator. See TEST EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP  in this article. Valve assembly should be on control pressure regulator side of gauge.
  2. Turn ignition on. With fuel pump running, bleed and then OPEN valve. Disconnect control pressure regulator. Start and run engine at idle for a maximum of one minute.
  3. Note control pressure and compare to graph. See Fig 1. At about 68°F (20°C), pressure should read between 18-24 psi (1.3-1.7 kg/cm2 ). If pressure does not read within specifications, replace control pressure regulator.
