Fuel DPR meter readings

[pj027235 10]

I am giving my 2.0l  16v 9a a bit of tlc and wish to check the mA going through the fuel DPR. 

Do I need a multimeter with ac mA or dc? 

Thx.

Hello there,

I think most multimeter's will have on them AC (alternated current) and DC (direct current) this is basically volts, but on motor vehicles when checking volts you'll need to use DC (direct current)

The red test lead should plug into the far right red socket on multimeter which also should have these symbols above it (mAVΩ).      The black test lead should plug into where it says COM (earth)

Regarding miniamps turn your multimeter dial to 200mA,  according to the Bentley Manual for the 2.0 16v 9A engine, the mA range for the Differential Fuel Pressure Regulator is 80mA to 100mA 

NOTE !  You'll need to disconnect the HT king lead to prevent the engine from starting up, and also disconnect the coolant temperature switch normally just below and to the left of distributor, has a 2 pin white connection plug.

Many thx indeed.

The car has been through the MOT since my posting and the emissions are absolutely spot on so no adjustment necessary.

The info you have posted will be kept for future reference.

Hi gang sorry to be the party pooper but ideally this thread needs moving to the correct forum section, i.e (Engine Bay section)

Forum questions and answers is purely regarding the forum only.

 

Many thanks

Si 👍
