WARNING:
In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury that may result from a fuel leak, always install the fuel injector "O" rings in the proper position. If the upper and lower "O" rings are different colors (Black and Brown), be sure to install the Black "O" ring in the upper position and the Brown "O" ring in the lower position on the fuel injector. The "O" rings are the same size but are made of different materials.
- Lubricate the new injector upper "O" ring seal with clean engine oil. Install the new injector "O" ring seal on the injector. Install a new retainer clip on the injector. Push the fuel injector into the fuel rail injector socket with the electrical connector facing outward. The retainer clip locks on to a flange on the fuel rail injector socket.
- Install the fuel rail assembly into the intake manifold. Tilt the rail assembly to install the injectors. Install the fuel rail attaching bolts. Tighten the fuel rail attaching bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Connect the engine coolant temperature sensor electrical connector. Install the injector electrical harness to the fuel rail. Connect the fuel injector connectors. Push the slide locks into position. Connect the main injector harness electrical connector. Install the new "O" rings on the fuel feed pipe and fuel return pipe.
- Connect the fuel feed pipe at the fuel rail. Tighten the fuel feed pipe nut to specification. Connect the fuel return pipe at the fuel pressure regulator. Tighten the fuel return pipe nut to specification. Install the upper intake manifold. See appropriate article in ENGINES. Connect the negative battery cable.
