4. Turn the key in the ignition switch to the On
position. The electric fuel pump will begin
operation, thereby forcing air out around the air
bleed screw. Leave the key in the On position for
15 seconds. Air and fuel will be internally drained
back to fuel tank. Tighten the screw and turn the
key to Off.
Note: Normally the engine should start after the
above bleeding procedures are followed. However,
if the engine does not start, air may be trapped
between the injection pump and injectors; refer to
Bleeding Air from the Injectors.
Bleeding Air from the
Injectors
Note: This procedure should be used only if the
fuel system has been purged of air through normal
priming procedures and the engine will not start; refer
to Bleeding the Fuel System.
1. Loosen the pipe connection to the No. 1 injector
nozzle and holder assembly at the injection pump
(Figure 37 ).
