Look Into The Fuel Pump Pressure Of The 2001 Prizm

One of the vehicles that emerged from the Chevrolet and Geo cooperation was the Geo-Chevrolet Prizm. Introduced in 1989, the Geo Prizm became the Chevrolet Prizm from 1998 to 2002. The 2001 Chevrolet Prizm was equipped with a 1.8-liter fuel injected in-line four-cylinder engine. The fuel energy on the 2001 Prizm can be tested from inside the engine compartment, somewhat easily. The 2001 Prizm has a Schrader valve analogous to the ones on your tire valve stems that allows you to investigation the fuel compel.


Instructions


1. Ajar the hood on the Prizm and establish the hood prop. Establish the bitty growing cap on the top Chauffeur's side of the engine. Remove the budding cap that covers the fuel pressure testing Harbour.


2. Wrap a tiny screwdriver in a rag. If no fuel pressure appears on the tester gauge, inspect and test the PCM. Fuel pressure for the 2001 Prizm should be between 44 and 50 pounds per square inch.


3. Install a fuel force gauge onto the tester port. Ask your assistant to turn the ignition key to the "Start" position. The fuel pump will activate immediately and prime the fuel lines if the powertrain control module or PCM is working properly. Include the gratuity of the wrapped screwdriver into the tester Harbour. Depress the pin in the centre of the Harbour slightly to Proceeds the fuel pressure in the fuel course. Let on the rag to soak up any fuel expelled from the tester Harbour during this procedure.
