Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Assembly Replacement - Bank 2 LLT
Removal Procedure
- Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to
Fuel Pressure Relief.
- Remove the fuel pipe shield. Refer to
Fuel Pipe Shield Replacement.
- Remove the high pressure fuel sensor. Refer to
Fuel Pressure Sensor Replacement.
- Remove the fuel rail crossover pipe. Refer to
Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Crossover Tube Replacement. Discard this pipe.
- Remove the fuel rail bolts (1).
- Carefully remove the Bank 2 fuel rail (2) from the engine. Lift the rear of the rail to ease removal.
- Remove and discard the direct fuel injector hold down clamps.
Important: The direct fuel injectors must be rebuilt whenever the injector has been released from the fuel rail or cylinder head.
- Once the fuel rail is removed, remove the fuel injectors and rebuild them. Refer to
Fuel Injector Replacement.
Installation Procedure
- Install the rebuilt direct fuel injectors (1) to the cylinder heads. Refer to
Fuel Injector Replacement.
- Install new direct injector hold down clamps to the injectors.
- On the new fuel rail, lubricate the fuel injector cups with silicon free engine oil GM P/N 12345610 (Canadian P/N 9931930) or
equivalent.
- Carefully place the fuel rail (2) into position, placing the front into the fuel rail over the front injector and rotating the rear downward.
- Install the 2 outer fuel rail bolts first, then the 2 inner bolts and hand tighten.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
- Tighten the fuel rail bolts in the sequence shown:
Tighten
- Tighten the Bank 1 fuel rail bolts first pass to 12 N·m (106 lb in).
- Tighten the Bank 1 fuel rail bolts a final pass to 23 N·m (17 lb ft).
- Install a NEW fuel rail crossover pipe. Refer to
Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Crossover Tube Replacement.
- Install the high pressure fuel sensor. Refer to
Fuel Pressure Sensor Replacement.
Notice: Note the correct routing of the electrical wiring. Failure
to reinstall the wiring properly could result in damage to the wiring.
- Connect the fuel injector wiring harness electrical connector (1) from the fuel injectors, fuel rail and fuel pressure sensor.
- Inspect for fuel leaks using the following procedure:
10.1. | Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF for 2 seconds. |
10.2. | Turn OFF the ignition, for 10 seconds. |
10.3. | Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. |
10.4. | Inspect for fuel leaks. |
- Install the fuel pipe shield. Refer to
Fuel Pipe Shield Replacement.
- Install the low side fuel pressure service port cap.
- Install the fuel tank cap.
