Where is it and how do you check it? I've searched, but all they say is check the fuel distributor.

Well for one you lift the plunger with fuel pump on requiring
and the injectors out placed in a fuel proof container. This
requires a jumper in place of the fuel pump relay.

check the spray patterns of all the injectors then
take off the fuel return line from the firewall connector
follow it from the fuel dizzy if you run the pump for a certian
amount of time as outlined in the haynes you should get a specific
amount of fuel this will tell if alls well. though you need to see that
injector is spraying fuel like it should.

how do you take off the fuel return line and measure the fuel coming out of there? isnt that the hard plastic fuel line that you have to heat up to remove?

on the otherside of the dizzy it goes to a line that goes down under the car
along the firewall.

You need to get a haynes manual theres one on line though
I dont think it outlines the tests as well as the haynes
manual in your hands would. This might help though do a search
on the board.
