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.
Important: Important the fuel injector is serviced as a complete assembly only.
If the fuel injectors are found to be leaking, the engine oil may be contaminated
with fuel.
- Relieve fuel system pressure.
Refer to
Fuel Pressure Relief
.
- Remove the fuel rail. Refer to
Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Assembly Replacement
.
- Remove the fuel injector retaining clips (1).
- Remove the fuel injector (3) from the fuel rail.
- Remove the fuel injector Upper O-ring (2).
- Remove the fuel injector lower O-ring (4).
Installation Procedure
Important: Each fuel injector is calibrated for a specific flow rate. Be sure to
use the correct part number when ordering replacement fuel injectors.
When replacing the fuel injector O-rings, be sure to install the
brown O-ring in the lower position. The lower fuel injector
O-ring uses a nylon collar called the O-ring backup to properly
position the O-ring on the fuel injector. Be sure to install
the O-ring backup or the sealing O-ring may move on the fuel
injector when you are installing the fuel rail. If the sealing O-ring
is not seated properly, a vacuum leak is possible and driveability
complaints may occur.
- Install the upper O-ring (2)
on the fuel injector .
- Install the lower O-ring (4) on the fuel injector.
- Install the fuel injector (3) into the fuel rail.
- Install the fuel injector retaining clips (1).
- Install the fuel rail. Refer to
Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Assembly Replacement
.
- Install the upper intake manifold. Refer to
Intake Manifold Replacement
.
- Tighten the fuel filler cap.
- Connect the negative battery cable. Refer to
