Removal Procedure
An 8-digit part identification number is on a mylar label affixed
to the fuel meter body assembly. Refer to this number if servicing or part replacement
is required.
- Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to
Fuel Pressure Relief
.
- Remove the upper intake manifold assembly. Refer to
Upper Intake Manifold Replacement
in Engine Mechanical.
Notice: Do not use any solvent that contains Methyl Ethyl Ketone
(MEK). This solvent may damage fuel system components.
- Before removal, clean the fuel meter body assembly with a spray
type engine cleaner, GM X-30A, if necessary. Follow the package instructions.
Do not soak fuel meter body assemblies in liquid cleaning solvent.
Notice: Cover the injector sockets in order to prevent dirt and other contaminants
from entering the open fuel passages.
Important: When disconnecting the injectors, remember the sequence in order to ensure
correct injector placement to each cylinder.
- Squeeze the injector locking tabs together while lifting the injector out
of the casting socket.
- Remove the fuel meter body from the bracket by releasing the lock tabs
on the bracket.
Installation Procedure
- Install the MFI fuel meter body into the
bracket on the lower intake manifold. Place all of the fuel tubes in a forward position.
Route the number 3 fuel tube behind the numbers 1 and 5 fuel tubes.
Caution: Verify that the injectors are firmly seated and locked in their casting
sockets, in order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury.
An unlocked or a loose injector could work loose from its socket and produce
a fuel leak. If an injector is loose, replace the retainer.
Important: The fuel meter body assembly and the lower intake are numbered to indicate
correct injector order. Ensure that the electrical connectors on the injectors
do not interfere with each other and point towards the center of the intake manifold.
Rotate the electrical connectors inboard, if necessary.
- Insert the 6 injectors in the following sequence:
2.1. | Insert #3 injector into the #3 injector hole. |
2.2. | Insert #5 injector into the #5 injector hole. |
2.3. | Insert #1 injector into the #1 injector hole. |
2.4. | Insert #2 injector into the #2 injector hole. |
2.5. | Insert #4 injector into the #4 injector hole. |
2.6. | Insert #6 injector into the #6 injector hole. |
- Install the upper intake manifold assembly. Refer to
Upper Intake Manifold Replacement
in Engine Mechanical.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- Inspect for leaks using the following procedure:
5.1. | Turn ON the ignition for 2 seconds. |
5.2. | Turn OFF the ignition for 10 seconds. |
5.3. | Turn ON the ignition. |
5.4. | Inspect for fuel leaks. |
- Install the engine cover. Refer to
Engine Cover Replacement
in Interior Trim.
