Tools Required

Caution: Do not allow smoking or the use of open flames in the area where work on the fuel or EVAP system is taking place. Anytime work is being done on the fuel system, disconnect the negative battery cable, except for those tests where battery voltage is required.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Loosen the clamp at the air cleaner assembly and throttle body assembly.
3. Remove the attachment bolts from the outlet resonator/duct assembly to support bracket.
4. Remove the outlet resonator/duct assembly.



5. Remove the resonator outlet duct assembly bracket from the manifold.




Caution: Whenever fuel line fittings are loosened or disconnected, wrap a shop cloth around the fitting to collect fuel. Place the cloth in an approved container.

6. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief .
7. Disconnect the SA9127E or equivalent, and the J 44095 or equivalent, after the pressure has been relieved.
8. Disconnect the fuel transfer line at quick connect from the fuel line using the J 37088-A , or equivalent.



9. Remove the fuel rail bracket bolt to manifold at the rear of the intake manifold.



10. Lift and support the intake manifold. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement .




Notice: An open-end wrench must be used to support the fuel line to rail connection during loosening/tightening to avoid damaging the fuel rail assembly.

11. While supporting the fuel rail assembly with an open-end wrench, loosen the transfer line fitting at fuel rail.
12. Remove the fuel line bracket bolt to manifold.



13. Remove the fuel transfer line.

1. Install the fuel transfer line into position.

Notice: An open-end wrench must be used to support the fuel line to rail connection during loosening/tightening to avoid damaging the fuel rail assembly.

2. Hand tighten both fuel transfer line fittings to fuel rails.

Tighten
Tighten the fuel transfer line fittings-to-fuel rail L81 to 15 N·m (11 lb ft).

3. Install the fuel line bracket to manifold.

Tighten
Tighten the fuel line bracket-to-manifold bolt to 6 N·m (47 lb in).

4. Install the intake manifold. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement .



5. Install the fuel transfer line bracket bolt intake manifold.

Tighten
Tighten the fuel transfer line bracket bolt-to-intake L81 to 4.4 N·m (39 lb in).




6. Install the outlet resonator/duct assembly bracket to manifold.
7. Install the outlet resonator/duct assembly bracket nuts.

Tighten
Tighten the outlet resonator/duct assembly bracket-to-intake manifold nuts L81 to 5 N·m (44 lb in).

Important: An audible click can be heard when the fuel line is installed. Slightly pull rearward on the line to assure the connection is fully seated.

8. Connect the fuel line to fuel transfer line.



9. Install the outlet resonator/duct assembly into position.
10. Tighten the clamp at the throttle body assembly.
11. Position the outlet resonator/duct assembly to the support bracket and install the bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the outlet resonator/duct assembly-to-support bracket bolts L81 to 10 N·m (89 lb in).

12. Tighten the clamp at the air cleaner assembly.
13. Connect the negative battery cable.

Tighten
Tighten the battery terminal bolts to 17 N·m (13 lb ft).
