How do I bleed the fuel line on a 1989 acura legend

Time for a transaxle rebuild

The trans fluid change should not be done on a failing
or slipping transmission & I don't suggest a flush ever
again on any trans,you chance breaking cooler lines
& getting debris into the solenoids

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

Print
The fuel pump on all models except the 1986-90 Integra, is located in the fuel tank. On the 1986-90 Integra the fuel pump is located under the rear of the vehicle, near the drivers side of the fuel tank.

PRESSURE TESTING

See Figure 1
On all models, the fuel pump should run for about 2 seconds when the ignition is first turned ON . By removing the filler cap and listening at the filler, it should be possible to hear the pump run each time the ignition is switched ON . It will then stop again until the starter is activated.

Fig. Fig. 1: Checking the fuel system pressure

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and remove the fuel filler cap.
2. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
3. Remove the service bolt and attach a fuel pressure gauge to the top of the fuel filter.
4. Start the engine and measure the fuel pressure with the engine idling and vacuum hose to the pressure regulator disconnected;

1986-1989 Integra-35-41 psi. (240-279 kPa) 1990-93 Integra-37-44 psi. (255-304 kPa) 1989-90 Legend-36-41 psi. (250-279 kPa) 1991-93 Legend-38-46 psi. (265-314 kPa) Vigor-43-50 psi. (300-350 kPa)

1. Check to see that the pressure decreases when the vacuum hose is connected.
2. If the pressure is higher than specifications, check for a pinched or clogged fuel return hose or faulty pressure regulator.
3. If the pressure is lower than specifications, check for a clogged filter, defective pressure regulator or leakage in the fuel line.
4. After inspection, remove the pressure gauge and install the service bolt with a new washer.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

1986-1989 Integra

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
3. Raise and safely support the vehicle and remove the left rear wheel.
4. Remove the fuel pump cover bolts and the cover.
5. Remove the fuel pump mount bolts and the fuel pump with it's mount.
6. Disconnect the fuel hoses and the electrical connectors.
7. Installation is the reverse of removal. Use new sealing washers when connecting the fuel hoses. After the pump is installed, turn the ignition switch ON and OFF a number of times to pressurize the system and check for leaks.

1990-93 Integra and Vigor
See Figures 2 and 3

1. On Integra, remove the rear seat and access panel and disconnect the wiring.
2. Remove the fuel tank.
3. Remove the pump flange mounting nuts and lift the pump out.
4. Installation is the reverse of removal. Use new sealing washers when connecting the fuel hoses. After the pump is installed, turn the ignition switch ON and OFF a number of times to pressurize the system and check for leaks.

Legend

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
3. Remove the maintenance access cover in the luggage area.
4. Disconnect the fuel lines and the electrical connectors.
5. Remove the fuel pump from the fuel tank.
6. Installation is the reverse of removal. Use new sealing washers when connecting the fuel hoses. After the pump is installed, turn the ignition switch ON and OFF a number of times to pressurize the system and check for leaks.

Could be the Slave cylinder. Check it and also do a bleed job on the line.Good luck

Well, it just unbolts, remove fluid line and replace the unit.

What is very important is to "bench bleed" all of the air before mounting unit. parts stores have easy bleeding kits that essentially reroute the output from the unit, directly back to the reservoir. if you do not pre bleed, you may die before you ever get it working...

Make sure all lines are light when turning engine over.While turning engine over loosen the a line closes to pump or the fuel filter.You should get some fuel.Then continue on all lines working farther away.

you tried ?? you HAVE to bleed them or they won't work

It sounds like you are talking about a diesel engine as gas engines are self priming. Lift pump or primer pump may be defective. Check for loose fittings or lines and damaged o-rings at filter housing. Sounds like you are sucking air somewhere.

where is the fuel pump? Any air leeks up streem from the fuelpump? even a small one and all it pumps is air. What condition is the in tank screen? if dirty replace it. Three second shut off time is for safety the interlocking device on older cars was theoil pressure switch on newer onesthe computer. (do you have gas in the tank?:))

start from the farthest, right rear, left rear, right front, then left front, take some time in bleeding your left front since it has more air induced during line replacement. good luck!

Check the fuel filter.
