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 Upper Intake Manifold .
3. Remove the engine fuel feed pipe at fuel rail.
4. Remove the fuel pressure regulator from fuel rail. Refer to Fuel Pressure Regulator Replacement .
5. Remove the fuel inlet pipe and fuel pressure regulator O-rings and discard.
6. Remove the main injector harness electrical connector.
7. Remove the coolant temperature sensor electrical connector.
8. Remove the fuel rail retaining bolts.
9. Remove the fuel rail assembly.
10. 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: 

•	Use care when servicing the fuel system components, especially the fuel injector electrical connectors, the fuel injector tips, and the injector O-rings. Plug the inlet and the outlet ports of the fuel rail in order to prevent contamination.

•	Do not use compressed air to clean the fuel rail assembly as this may damage the fuel rail components.

•	Do not immerse the fuel rail assembly in a solvent bath in order to prevent damage to the fuel rail assembly.

1. Ensure that O-ring backups are on injectors before installing new O-rings. Lubricate new injector O-ring seals with clean engine oil and install on spray tip end of each injector.
2. Install The fuel rail assembly in intake manifold. Tilt rail assembly to install injectors.
3. Install the fuel rail attaching bolts.

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

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.

4. Install the coolant temperature sensor electrical connector.
5. Install the main injector harness electrical connector.
6. Install the new O-rings on fuel rail inlet line and fuel pressure regulator.
7. Install the fuel feed pipe.

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

8. Install the fuel pressure regulator. Refer to Fuel Pressure Regulator Replacement .
9. Install the upper intake manifold. Refer to Upper Intake Manifold .
10. Install the fuel filler cap.
