Default XR3i EFI pressures please

1990 1.6 CVH with EFI

Does anyone know the correct (standard) pressure that the fuel pump should produce and also the correct (standard) pressure that should be in the fuel rail?

Cheers

Autodata states 5.0bar minimum delivery pressure and 2.3-2.5bar at the rail with vacuum applied. This is the spec for XR2i Fiesta CVH EFI as Escort '86 isn't on there anymore.

Was a known mod to raise pressure to 3.5bar to stop light throttle hesitation back in the day.

Perfect that confirms some other info I have managed to gleen to

Cheers mate

Are there any other reading you can get from Autodata such as resistance, impedance etc for testing the sensors etc?

Yeah, there are some tests.

Depends which sensors you need to test.

System checks & adjustments

Injector 2
Injector 3
Injector 4
Fuel pump (FP)
Intake system
Throttle position (TP) sensor
Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
Idle air control (IAC) valve
Turbocharger (TC) wastegate regulating valve
Ignition system
Engine sensors
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
Emission control system
Mixture adjustment resistor
Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
Evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve
Control system
Engine control module (ECM)
Ignition control module (ICM)
Vehicle sensors
Vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
Inertia fuel shut-off (IFS) switch

Well I have a three pin fault code reader on it's way so will see if that comes up with anything.

Actual pressure we got off the pump (via popping a gauge between the fuel feed to the filter banjo) was 4.0 bar so we are not that far off there.

We took a reading from the return of the Fuel Reg and that came back as nothing (despite adjusting the screw) which leads us to think that the reg might of had it
