Description
Removal Procedure
Notice:
^
Always remove the fuel pressure regulator in order to drain the excess fuel and in order to prevent fuel from entering the engine cylinders when
the fuel injectors are removed for service. Flooded cylinders could result in engine damage.
^
Use care in removing the fuel injectors in order to prevent damage to the electrical connector pins on the injector and the nozzle. The fuel
injector is serviced as a complete assembly only. Since it is an electrical component, do not soak it in cleaner.
Caution: Relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing fuel system components in order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury. After
relieving the system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when servicing the fuel lines or connections. In order to reduce the chance
of personal injury, cover the regulator and the fuel line fittings with a shop towel before disconnecting. This will catch any fuel that may leak
out. Place the towel in an approved container when the disconnection is complete.
Notice: In order to prevent possible engine damage from flooded cylinders, the following procedures must be performed.
1. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Release Procedure.
2. Disconnect negative battery cable.
3. Remove the upper manifold assembly. Refer to Intake Manifold Removal.
4. Remove the fuel return line retaining bracket screw assemblies.
5. Remove the fuel return line retaining bracket.
6. Move the return line away from the regulator.
7. Remove the pressure regulator assembly. Refer to Fuel Pressure Regulator
Notice:
^
In order to prevent damage to the fuel injector retaining bracket and fuel injectors, do not try to remove the fuel injectors by lifting up the fuel
injector retaining bracket while the fuel injectors are still installed in the bracket slots.
^
Do not attempt to remove the bracket without first removing the fuel pressure regulator.
8. Remove the injector retainer bracket attaching screws.
9. Carefully slide the bracket off in order to clear the injector slots and the regulator.
10. Remove the electrical injector connectors.
Caution: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury verify that the lower (small) O-ring of each injector does not remain in the
lower manifold. If the O-ring is not removed with the injector, the replacement injector, with new O-rings, will not seat properly in the injector
socket and could cause a fuel leak.
Notice: Cover the injector sockets in order to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the open fuel passages.
11. Remove the fuel injectors.
12. Discard the O-ring seals.
