An eight digit identification number is stamped on the left hand fuel rail (fueling even cylinders 2,4,6). Refer to this number if servicing or part replacement is required.

Caution: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury that may result from a fuel leak, always install the fuel injector O-rings in the proper position. If the upper and lower O-rings are different colors (black and brown), be sure to install the black O-ring in the upper position and the brown O-ring in the lower position on the fuel injector. The O-rings are the same size but are made of different materials.

Important: Important when servicing the fuel rail assembly, precautions must be taken to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the fuel passages. It is recommended that the fittings be capped, and the holes be plugged during servicing.

1. Relieve fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief .
2. Remove the upper intake manifold. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement .
3. Disconnect the engine fuel feed pipe at fuel rail.



4. Disconnect the engine fuel return pipe at the fuel pressure regulator.
5. Remove the fuel feed pipe and fuel return pipe O-rings and discard.



6. Disconnect the main injector harness electrical connector.



7. Pull up the lock release (2) of the fuel injector connector (2).



8. Depress the lock tab (1) on the fuel injector connector.
9. Remove the fuel injection harness from the fuel rail.



10. Disconnect the coolant temperature sensor electrical connector.



11. Remove the fuel rail retaining bolts.
12. Using the J 43013 fuel injector removal tool, carefully lift all fuel injectors.
13. Remove the fuel rail assembly.
14. Remove the injector O-ring seal from spray tip end of each injector. Discard seals. With the O-ring removed, the O-ring backup may slip off of the injector. Be sure to retain the O-ring backup for reuse.

Notice: 

1. Install The fuel rail assembly into the intake manifold. Tilt rail assembly to install injectors.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the fuel rail attaching bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the fuel rail attaching bolt to 10 N·m (7 lb ft).




3. Connect the coolant temperature sensor electrical connector.



4. Reinstall the injector electrical harness to the fuel rail.
5. Connect the injector electrical connectors (2).
6. Push the slide lock (2) into the locked position.



7. Connect the main injector harness electrical connector.
8. Install the new O-rings on fuel feed pipe and fuel return pipe.



9. Reinstall the fuel feed pipe at the fuel rail.

Tighten
Tighten the engine fuel feed pipe nut to 17 N·m (13  lb ft).




10. Connect the fuel return pipe at the fuel pressure regulator.

Tighten
Tighten the engine fuel return pipe nut to 17 N·m (13 lb ft).

11. Install the upper intake manifold. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement .
12. Tighten the fuel filler cap.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

13. Connect the negative battery cable.
14. Inspect for fuel leaks using the following procedure:

14.1.

Turn ON the ignition, for 2 seconds.

14.2.

Turn OFF the ignition, for 10 seconds.

14.3.

Turn ON the ignition.

14.4.

Inspect for fuel leaks.
