Removal Procedure
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.
- Relieve fuel system pressure. Refer to
Fuel Pressure Relief
.
- Remove the upper intake manifold. Refer to
Upper Intake Manifold
.
- Remove the fuel feed and return pipes from the fuel rail tubes
by squeezing tabs and pulling the lines apart.
- Remove the main injector harness electrical connector.
- Remove the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line.
- Remove the fuel rail retaining bolts.
- Remove the fuel rail assembly.
- 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.
Installation Procedure
- 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.
- Install the fuel rail assembly in intake manifold. Tilt rail assembly
to install injectors.
- Install the fuel rail attaching bolts.
Tighten
Tighten fuel rail attaching bolt to 10 N·m(89 lb.
in.).
- Install the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line.
- Install the main injector harness electrical connector.
- Install the fuel feed and return pipes to the fuel rail tubes.
- Install the upper intake manifold. Refer to
Upper Intake Manifold
.
- Install the fuel filler cap.
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. |
