FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure.
IMPORTANT:
-
The L59 E85 fuel rail is comprised of a material that is compatible with fuel that has a concentration of up to 85 percent ethanol. The E85 fuel rail
also uses an E85 Denso fuel injectors. Because of this, special procedures will be used in servicing the fuel rail and associated components. The
screws that fasten the retaining clips for the crossover pipe to the fuel rails are thread cutting and therefore should NOT be removed from the fuel
rail. The fuel rail will be serviced as an entire component.
-
An 8-digit identification number (1) is located on the fuel rail. Refer to this model identification number if service or part replacement is required.
2. Remove the wire harness bracket nut (2).
3. Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) purge solenoid electrical connector (1).
4. Disconnect the generator electrical connector (3).
