For diagnostics, the first step is to check the fuel filter - if it's clogged, it should be replaced. Next, fuel system pressure is tested using a pressure gauge. If the pressure is below normal, the pump and pressure regulator are tested. If needed, they are replaced. It's also important to inspect the fuel hoses and connections to rule out any leaks.
