Opening Pressure Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 GMC Vandura, 1997 GMC Forward Control, 1997 Chevrolet Forward Control, and 1997 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Open tester shutoff valve 1/4 turn from closed position. Slowly depress tester lever and observe gauge. Note pressure at which needle of pressure gauge stops. Some injector nozzles may pop while other injector nozzles may drip (this is not a leak).
  2. Injector opening pressure should not fall to less than 1500 psi (105 kg/cm2 ). Replace any injector nozzle that does not meet lowest acceptable pressure. Release tester pressure.
