- Ensure fuel system pressure is okay. See BASIC TESTING article. Remove intake air hose between mass airflow sensor and noise damper. Disconnect and move spark plug wires aside to allow fuel rail to be removed.
- Disconnect fuel injector connectors. Disconnect vacuum hose from fuel pressure regulator. Remove fuel rail from manifold with injectors attached to fuel rail. Suspend fuel rail with wire.
