Basic Instructions for Testing GM TBI
Please consult the vehicle service manual, a Mitchell Fuel Injection manual
or Robert Bosch Service Guide regarding pressure test results.
To test:
1. Relieve fuel system pressure.
2. Remove air cleaner assembly.
3. Temporarily plug the Thermac vacuum port on the throttle body.
4. Using the adapters we supply, install the tester in line between the fuel
(Diagram C).If longer pieces of 3/8˝ hose are needed, cut from 3/8˝ fuel line. Use hose clamps on hose.
In some instances, the adapters may have to be piggy-backed in order to get the right combination of
threads to connect. (See Diagram D).
5. If steel tubing is removed, use two wrenches to prevent damage.
6. On some cars, it is easier to put the car on a lift and test from underneath.
7. On some cars with GM TBI systems, it is hard to install adapters. With the
adapters and tubing furnished, many combinations can be made to help you.
8. Reactivate fuel pump, start the engine and check for leaks.
9. When fuel pressure has stabilized after a minute or so, gauge
should read 9–13 PSI (62–90 kPa),(.6–.9 bar), and (.63–.91 Kg/cm2).
