INJECTION NOZZLE CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT



INJECTION NOZZLE CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT



caution Never touch the injection spray that is injected from the nozzle.

FUEL INJECTION INITIAL PRESSURE CHECK


1.Install the injection nozzle to a nozzle tester.
2.Move the lever of the nozzle tester 2 - 3 times to inject fuel and to bleed the air.
3.Gently press down the lever of the nozzle tester, and take a reading of the indication value on the pressure gauge at the point where the needle slowly rises and then suddenly drops.
Standard value (Fuel injection initial pressure):
14,710 - 15,690 kPa
4.If the fuel injection initial pressure is outside the standard value, disassembly the nozzle holder to clean it, and the change the thickness of the shim to adjust the fuel injection initial pressure.
note 1: For disassembly, reassembly and adjustment of the nozzle holder, refer to .
2: When the shim thickness is increased by 0.1 mm, the fuel injection initial pressure increases by approximately 1,177 - 2,157 kPa.

INJECTION SPRAY CONDITION CHECK



1.Move the lever of the nozzle tester rapidly (4 - 6 times per second) to eject the fuel continuously. Check to be sure that the injection spray comes out evenly in a cone shape (injection spray comes out evenly in a cone shape (injection spray angle is 0°). The injection spray patterns shown in the illustration at left are wrong.

  1. Injection angle is tool large
  2. Bias
  3. Intermittent fuel injection

2.Check to be sure that no fuel drips after injection is completed.
3.If there are any drips, disassemble the nozzle, clean it and reinspect, or replace the nozzle.

NOZZLE FUEL-TIGHT CHECK



1.Gently raise the lever of the nozzle tester until the pressure inside the nozzle (value displayed on pressure gauge) becomes 12,750 - 13,730 kPa, and after holding this pressure for approximately 10 seconds, check to be sure that there are no fuel leaks from the nozzle.
2.If there are any leaks, disassemble the injection nozzle, clean it and re-inspect, or replace the nozzle.
