The adaptive fuel strategy continuously monitors the fuel delivery hardware. The test fails when the adaptive fuel tables reach a lean calibrated limit. Refer to Section 1 , Powertrain Control Software, Fuel Trim for more information. Fuel System.
  • Fuel Pressure Regulator (vacuum hose off, diaphragm leak, malfunctioning).
  • Leaking fuel injectors.
  • Fuel return line restricted.
  • Fuel rail pressure sensor (incorrect reading).
  • EVAP canister purge valve leak (when canister is full).
Base engine.
  • Engine oil contamination.
Air Measurement System.
  • MAF sensor (contaminated, damaged, or corroded connector).
View Freeze Frame Data to determine the operating conditions when the DTC was set. Observe the LONGFT1 and LONGFT2 PID(s). Refer to Section 2 , Adaptive Fuel DTCs Diagnostic Techniques for more information.

I am replacing the transmission in my 03 sante fe. I cannot separate the motor from the tranny or the awd unit. What can I do?

Below are directions to remove the engine. The engine and transaxle assembly have to come out as one unit and they come out from the bottom:
REMOVAL 1. Remove the battery. Detach the air cleaner. Disconnect the engine harness connectors. A. Engine wiring connectors (alternator, starter, etc.) B. TPS connector C. Oil pressure gauge connector. D. Back up lamp switch connector. E. A/T solenoid, inhibitor switch connector. F. Coolant temperature sensor. G. Ignition coil, power TR connector. H. Idle speed control valve (ISC) connector. I. MAP and ATS connectors. J. Oxygen sensor connector. Drain the engine coolant. . For a vehicle with automatic transaxles, disconnect the transaxle oil cooler hoses, When disconnecting hoses, make identification marks to avoid making any mistake when installing them again Be careful not to spill any of oil or fluid out of the hoses. Plug the openings to prevent the entry of foreign material. Disconnect the radiator upper and lower hoses on the engine side then remove the radiator assembly. Disconnect the engine ground. . Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose. Disconnect the heater hoses (inlet and outlet) on the engine side.

I have a fuel leak at the quick connect on top of the fuel tank under the rear seat. I have replaced the fuel line and it still leaks. There is a plastic piece on top of the tank, should that be replaced...

I solved a similar problem with a Nissan. Under rear seat is a plate. Remove plate and you find the plastic delivery and return pipes with clip on connectors. Ideally you buy and replace there connectors but here in Africa they were not available. I simply cut off the pipe as close to the connector as possible. Then heated the end in boiling water and pressed it over the connector male side. It cools and shrinks and never leaked since. If I had a hose clamp, I would have added that for extra security because the delivery pipe is under high pressure from the electric pump in the tank( fuel injection models) most Japanese cars have very similar configurations and this plan can generally be made to worl

Remove sv21 injectors

Hi there:
This Australia made TOYOTA CAMRY SV21 was produced in 1989, similar at 3S-FE Engine...


  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Disconnect the harness from the cold start injector.
  3. Place a towel or rag under the cold start injector pipe and remove the two union bolts, four gaskets and delivery pipe.

Loosen the union pipe bolts slowly.

  1. Disconnect the vacuum sensing hose from the fuel pressure regulator.
  2. Disconnect the fuel return pipe hose.
  3. Remove the pulsation damper with the two gaskets. Discard the gaskets and purchase new ones.
  4. Unbolt and remove the delivery pipe with the injectors attached.

When removing the delivery pipe, take care not to drop it as damage to the injectors may result.

  1. Remove the four insulators and two spacers from the cylinder head.
  2. Gently pull the injectors from the delivery pipe.
  3. Remove the O-rings and grommets from the injectors and purchase new ones.

To install:
  1. Install a new grommet and new O-ring onto each injector. Make sure that they are installed evenly, to ensure a good seat and save yourself from having to take the injectors out and readjust or replace the O-rings.
  1. Lightly coat the O-rings with clean fuel.
  2. Install the injectors into the delivery pipe. Do not **** the injector, install it straight into the opening using a light left to right twisting motion.
  3. Place the four insulators and two spacers on the cylinder head.
  4. Install the injectors together with the delivery pipe onto the cylinder head.
  5. Go to each injector and rotate it by hand. The injector should rotate smoothly.

If the injectors don't rotate smoothly, the O-rings are probably not installed correctly or the injectors are not installed evenly. If this is the case, you will have the pull the delivery pipe off the intake manifold and look at the O-rings to make sure that they are installed correctly. Adjust the O-rings and, if damaged, replace them.

  1. After the delivery pipe and injectors are properly in place, go to each injector and position the connector so that it is facing upward.
  2. Install the two delivery pipe retaining bolts and tighten them to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm).
  3. Install the pulsation damper with two new gaskets on both sides of the fuel hose "banjo'' fitting. Tighten the damper.
  4. Connect the fuel return hose.
  5. Attach the injector connectors.
  6. Connect the vacuum sensing hose.
  7. Using new gaskets, connect the cold start injector pipe to the delivery pipe and cold start injector. Tighten the two union bolts to 13 ft. lbs. (17 Nm).
  8. Attach the cold start injector wiring connector.
  9. Connect the negative battery cable.
  10. Short the +B and Fp terminals of the engine check connector with a jumper wire.
  11. While the connector is shorted, pinch the fuel return hose. When the pinched, this causes the pressure in the high pressure fuel line to rise to 57 psi. ( kPa) At this time any leaks in any part of the system should be apparent. Carefully look at each component for leakage and run the tip of your finger around each connection.





Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.
