Removal Procedure

An 8-digit part identification number is on a mylar label affixed to the fuel meter body assembly. Refer to this number if servicing or part replacement is required.

  1. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure .
  2. Remove the upper intake manifold assembly. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement - Upper in Engine Mechanical.
    NOTE: Do not use any solvent that contains Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK). This solvent may damage fuel system components.
  3. Before removal, clean the fuel meter body assembly with a spray type engine cleaner, GM X-30A, if necessary. Follow the package instructions. Do not soak fuel meter body assemblies in liquid cleaning solvent.
    NOTE: Cover the injector sockets in order to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the open fuel passages.
    IMPORTANT: When disconnecting the injectors, remember the sequence in order to ensure correct injector placement to each cylinder.
  4. Squeeze the injector locking tabs together while lifting the injector out of the casting socket.
