Removal Procedure
- Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to
Fuel Pressure Relief.
- Remove the intake manifold. Refer to
Intake Manifold Replacement
- Remove the foam insulator from the fuel rails.
Caution: To avoid fuel system contamination clean the area where the sensor connects to the fuel line or fuel injection fuel rail before removing the sensor.
Note: Applying force to the plastic housing of the sensor will destroy the sensor. To tighten or loosen, only apply force to the attached hexagon.
- Using a 27 mm socket, remove the fuel pressure sensor (1) from the fuel injection fuel rail (2). Discard the fuel pressure sensor.
- Allow any fuel to drain from the fuel rail and pressure sensor location.
- Dry the sealing cone in the fuel rail and the area around the sensor joint with a lint free cloth.
- Inspect the sealing cone in the fuel rail. The surface should be free of fuel, debris, and burrs.
Installation Procedure
Note: Applying force to the plastic housing of the sensor will destroy the sensor. To tighten or loosen, only apply force to the attached hexagon.
Note: Ensure that the fuel rail threads have been cleaned of any excess fuel, or the NEW fuel injection fuel rail fuel pressure sensor will NOT seal properly.
- Lubricate the threads and the sealing cone in the fuel rail with silicon free engine oil GM P/N 12345610 (Canadian P/N 993193) or equivalent.
- Lubricate the threads and sealing cone on the NEW fuel injection fuel rail fuel pressure sensor with silicon free engine oil GM P/N 12345610 (Canadian P/N 993193) or equivalent.
- Install the NEW fuel pressure sensor (1) to the fuel injection fuel rail (2) hand tight.
- Remove the NEW fuel injection fuel rail fuel pressure sensor, re-lubricate following steps 1 and 2 above.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.
- Install the NEW fuel pressure sensor (1) to the fuel injection fuel rail (2) and tighten to
33 N·m (25 lb ft).
- Install the foam insulator from the fuel rails.
- Install the intake manifold. Refer to
Intake Manifold Replacement
Note: If a fuel leak accrues at the fuel rail, the fuel rail will need to be replaced.
- Inspect for fuel leaks using the following procedure:
8.1. | Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF for 2 seconds. |
8.2. | Turn OFF the ignition, for 10 seconds. |
8.3. | Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. |
8.4. | Inspect for fuel leaks. |
