Component
Fuel System
Repair Time
2-4 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on the fuel system.
  • ⚠Allow the engine to cool before working on components near the engine bay.

Symptoms

  • •Engine cranks but does not start
  • •Rough or inconsistent idle after starting
  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Fuel smell near the fuel filler area
  • •Engine stalling shortly after starting

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan the vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) for any error codes related to the fuel or emissions systems.
  2. 2Inspect the fuel cap for proper sealing and any signs of damage or wear.
  3. 3Check for any fuel leaks around the fuel injectors and fuel lines.
  4. 4Test the fuel pressure using a fuel pressure gauge to ensure it meets manufacturer specifications.
  5. 5Inspect the evaporative emissions control (EVAP) system components, including the charcoal canister and purge valve.
  6. 6Verify the operation of the fuel pump by listening for a humming sound when the ignition is turned to the 'ON' position.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical issues during repairs.

2. Inspect and Replace Fuel Cap

  • Tools Required: None
  • Remove the fuel cap and inspect for cracks or damage.
  • If damaged, replace the fuel cap with a new one that fits the Genesis G70 specifications.

3. Perform Fuel Pressure Test

  • Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge
  • Locate the fuel rail test port and remove the cap.
  • Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the test port.
  • Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine) and observe the pressure reading.
  • If pressure is below specifications, proceed to replace the fuel pump.

4. Replace Fuel Pump (if necessary)

  • Tools Required: Socket set, screwdrivers, torque wrench
  • Relieve the fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and starting the engine until it stalls.
  • Disconnect the battery.
  • Lift the rear seat to access the fuel pump access panel.
  • Remove the access panel and disconnect the fuel lines and electrical connector from the pump.
  • Unscrew and remove the fuel pump assembly from the tank.
  • Install the new fuel pump assembly and ensure all connections are secure.
  • Reinstall the access panel and reconnect the battery.

5. Inspect and Repair EVAP System

  • Tools Required: None
  • Inspect the charcoal canister for cracks or blockages.
  • Check the purge valve and replace if it is stuck open or damaged.
  • Clear any blockages in the EVAP hoses.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

Prevention Tips

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance

Tools & Equipment Required

  • OBD-II scanner
  • Fuel pressure gauge
  • Socket set
  • Torque wrench
  • Screwdrivers

Parts Required

  • Fuel cap (if damaged)
  • Fuel pump (if pressure is low)
  • Charcoal canister (if damaged)
  • Purge valve (if malfunctioning)
