Removal Procedure
Notice: Use care in removing the fuel injectors in order to prevent damage to
the fuel injector electrical connector pins or the fuel injector nozzles.
Do not immerse the fuel injector in any type of cleaner. The fuel injector
is an electrical component and may be damaged by this cleaning method.
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.
- Disconnect
the negative battery calble.
- Relieve fuel system pressure. Refer to the Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure
.
- Remove the intake manifold plenum. Refer to Engine Mechanical.
- Disconnect the fuel rail assembly. Refer to
Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Assembly Replacement
Disassemble Procedure
- Disconnect the electrical
wiring harness
- Remove the injector retainer clip (1) and discard.
- Remove the fuel injector assembly (3).
Important: When ordering new fuel injectors, be sure to order the correct injector
for the application being serviced.
- Remove the injector O-ring seals (2), (4), (5), from both ends of injector
and discard. Save the O-ring backups for use on reassembly.
Assembly Procedure
- Ensure that O-ring backups
(2), (4), (5), are on injectors before installing new O-rings. Lubricate the
new injector O-ring seals with clean engine oil and install on the injector
assembly.
- Install the fuel injector assembly (3) into the fuel rail injector
socket with the electrical connectors facing outward.
- Install the new injector retainer clips (1) on the injector fuel
rail assembly by sliding the clip into the injector groove as it snaps onto
the composite fuel rail.
Installation Procedure
- Install the fuel rail assembly. Refer to
Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Assembly Replacement
- Install the intake manifold plenum. Refer to Engine Mechanical.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
