Re: '86 5000 TQW - WARM START PROBLEM - TESTING FUEL ACCUMULATOR

[fred smith <smitty@pcrealm.net>]

If you look closely you will see a small screw on the back of the Accum.
(may be obscured by undercoating), remove the screw and see if there is
any fuel dripping from the hole. Since this is on the atmosphere side of
the diaphragm there shouldnt' be any sine of fuel. A small amount, it's
says are numbered more than that "it's toast".A test of the residual
fuel pressure reading is another way,the fuel pressure should hold
within
a set range for 20 minutes.There is a measurment you can take thru the
hole in the accum. the distance from tne body to the diaphragm is called
out in Bentley???? I think. Stick a small diam. wire (paper clip?) in
the hole and gauge the distance to the diaphragm. Come to think of it
the meas. might be in Probst.I need be I can look it up for you.
