1995 Civic EX
Good evening all, I can not find the shrader valve in the fuel rail for
checking fuel pressure. This is a V-Tec engine. What should the pressure be? The engine problem is that it runs poorly, not all the time, when the engine is cold. Engine shakes, misses until it is warmed up. After that it runs good. No check engine light on. T.I.A. |
Re: 1995 Civic EX
my 96 accord v tek does not use a shrader valve as do most of the other
vehicles on the road. It has a bolt within a bolt on the rail. You relieve pressure by loosening the bolt and then completely removing it and inserting a fuel pressure gauge with an adapter. I imagine the Civic is no different. That is all the information I have. The pressure I would think should be around 40 psi.

Re: 1995 Civic EX
This is straight from the Helm manual. Hope it helps.
Note: Before disconnecting fuel pipes or hoses, release pressure from the system by loosening the 6 mm service bolt on top of the fuel filter. Relieving 1. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery negative terminal. 2. Remove the fuel fill cap. 3. Use a box end wrench on the 6 mm service bolt at the fuel filter, while holding the special banjo bolt with another wrench. (Apparently Honda thinks banjo bolts are special) 4. Place a rag or shop towel over the 6 mm service bolt. 5. Slowly loosen the 6 mm service bolt one complete turn. Note: A fuel pressure gauge can be attached at the 6 mm service bolt hole. Always replace the washer between the service bolt and the special banjo bolt whenever the service bolt is loosened. Rep-lace all washers whenever the bolts are removed. Inspection 1. Relieve fuel pressure. 2. Remove the service bolt on the fuel filter while holding the banjo bolt with another wrench. Attach the special tool. (I guess the banjo bolt is jealous because now the tool is special, or should I say fuel pressure gauge) 3. Start the engine*. Measure the fuel pressure with the engine idling and vacuum hose of the fuel pressure regulator disconnected from the fuel pressure regulator pinched. Pressure should be 40-47 psi 4. Reconnect vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator. Pressure should be 31-38 psi *If the engine will not start, turn the ignition switch on, wait for two seconds, turn it off, then back on again and read the fuel pressure. The only thing I would suggest is that you check the idle air control valve. This might be the culprit especially since it only runs poorly when it's cold.
