1. if you have a gauge which can measure the control pressure The gauge must measure the pressure between the port at the center top of the fuel distributor and the inlet of the WUR The inlet port of the WUR is the larger of the two fittings The connection of the gauge is shown in Figure 2 CP Gauge manual A1 Figure 2 TM i UT Control Pressure Gauge a User s manual B info unwiredtools com Installation The installation of the CP Gauge involves removing the inlet fitting of the WUR Note When the fittings are loosened about 10cc of pressurized fuel is sprayed out Carefully review the cautions on the front page of this manual and proceed carefully The fuel line fitting must be removed first Two 14mm wrenches are required Use the lower wrench to hold the WUR fitting in place while loosening the fuel line fitting Don t try to remove the fuel line fitting without a backing wrench Once the fuel line fitting is removed the WUR fitting underneath can be removed The WUR fitting has a copper washer underneath Be sure to save this washer Note the photo shown here is the outlet fitting not the inlet fitting This photo shows the proper installation of the gauge The copper pressure ring fits underneath the WUR fitting just like a thick copper washer pane Note when fitting the ring do NOT include the thin ae copper washer you saved in the previous step Be careful not to over torque the fitting No2.

4. re regulator Main lever sensor plate Figure 1 The force which moves the Sensor plate is the flow of a mass of air This force moves the Control plunger up There is an opposing force which pushes the Control plunger back down This force is exerted on the Control plunger by a special hydraulic pressure called the Control Pressure The name Control Pressure means the pressure used to control the air fuel ratio When the Control Pressure is low the force pushing against the Control plunger is low allowing the Control plunger to travel further and thereby delivering more fuel This richens the mixture For this reason a low control pressure richens the air fuel mixture while a high control pressure leans out the mixture The injection system has to change the mixture depending of a number of factors When the engine is cold the mixture must be very rich When the engine is fully warm and idling the mixture is slightly lean Under maximum acceleration the mixture richens slightly These changes to the mixture are handled by one very critical component of the system called the Warm Up Regulator WUR The WUR handles far more than just operation during warm up The WUR handles setting the mixture during all phases of engine operation The WUR is a complex imprecise and relatively fragile component Many problems like hard starting poor mileage and lack of power can be traced to the WUR Fortunately the operation of the WUR is easy to check
5. w re install the fuel line and you re ready to test the system CP Gauge manual A1 4 TM T Control Pressure Gauge T User s manual orice oe info unwiredtools com Starting monitoring troubleshooting Start the car and check carefully for leaks around the CP gauge fittings As soon as the engine starts you can read the control pressure UnwiredTools has an extensive database of control pressures for every phase of operation of cars equipped with CIS fuel injection Contact us for detailed specifications For a quick but effective test the control pressures should be as follows Cold Start 60 F 1 6bar 24psi Cold Start 80 F 2 2bar 32psi Engine fully warm idling vacuum line attached 3 4bar 50psi Engine idling remove vacuum line 3 0bar 44psi The values above may differ from your test values The most important factor is that the control pressure should change as indicated For example you should be able to see the control pressure increase after a cold start Note Some flutter of the control pressure at idle is normal If the flutter exceeds 5psi then the fuel accumulator may be defective The gauge may be easier to read if the engine speed is raised slightly above idle i e 1200 RPM CP Gauge manual A1
