Fuel Rail: Service and Repair
Fig. 25 Fuel Rail Assembly - Typical
WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure (even with the engine turned off). Before servicing the fuel rail assembly, the fuel
system pressure must be released.
CAUTION: The left and right fuel rails are replaced as an assembly. Do not attempt to separate the rail halves at the connecting hose. Due to the
design of this connecting hose, it does use any clamps. Never attempt to install a clamping device of any kind to the hose. When removing the fuel rail
assembly for any reason, be careful not to bend or kink the connecting hose.
REMOVAL
1. Remove negative battery cable at battery.
2. Remove air cleaner.
3. Perform the fuel pressure release procedure.
4. Remove throttle body from intake manifold.
