![]() ![]() The fuel injection system’s electrical circuit design is the same on all three engines, but it is uniquely Toyota. ![]() If fuel pressure falls below specification during a full-throttle acceleration, that means the fuel pump can’t keep up with the demand. One way to check fuel volume is to monitor fuel pressure during full-throttle acceleration. There is no fuel pump flow rate specification, and there’s no pressure tap on the fuel rail either. Specs for this fuel system are the same for all three engines: fuel pressure with the engine running or not running is 44 to 50 psi, hold pressure is 21 psi and fuel injector resistance is 11.6 to 12.4 ohms at 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius). Turbine pumps are not particularly strong on the suction side, so if there’s a no-start or driveability issue that’s caused by lack of fuel, the problem just might be nothing more than a clogged fuel filter. That includes the only fuel filter in the whole system, the strainer or “sock” on the inlet side of the pump. The fuel pump module is usually sold as a complete assembly, but according to the service manual each of those components can be replaced separately once the module is removed. The mechanical pressure regulator is part of the fuel pump module that includes the pump, a reservoir, the gauge sending unit and a fuel filter. The fuel rail may have something that looks like a pressure regulator, but it’s actually a pulse damper to reduce pressure pulsation and fuel pump noise. The main difference is the fuel pressure regulator is inside the fuel tank instead of under the hood. Returnless fuel systems were developed to reduce evaporative emissions. That system architecture became the model for Toyota port fuel injected engines right up through current generation, including the other engines used in that car, the 3.0-liter 1MZ-FE and the 3.3-liter 3MZ-FE. The 2002-2006 model is the Camry’s fifth generation and the first year for the 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE engine with an electronic mass airflow sensor, electronic throttle and a returnless fuel injection system. If you don’t normally work on Toyotas, or if you simply haven’t had the opportunity to look into a Toyota fuel system lately, here’s a quick overview of the two most common models. When problems do arise, the diagnosis is rarely a challenge.īut diagnosis is always faster and more accurate when you know more about the vehicle. ![]() With normal maintenance or even a fair amount of neglect, it seems these cars almost never break down. market, the Toyota Camry has been one of the most reliable cars on the road.
