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: 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 injectors (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 fuel injector lower 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
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 fuel injector
upper O-ring (2).
- Install the fuel injector lower O-ring (4).
- Install the fuel injector (3) to the fuel rail.
- Install the fuel injector retaining clips (1).
- Install the fuel rail. Refer to
