Removal Procedure
- Relieve the high side fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief (High Pressure Side) or Fuel Pressure Relief (Without CH 48027) or Fuel Pressure Relief (With CH 48027) .
- Disconnect the engine wiring harness electrical connector (1) from the fuel injector wiring harness electrical connector.
- Remove the intake manifold. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement .
- Remove the fuel injector insulator.
- Disconnect the engine wiring harness electrical connector (1) from the high pressure fuel pump.
- Remove the intermediate fuel pipe. Refer to Fuel Feed Intermediate Pipe Replacement .
- Disconnect the fuel injector wiring harness electrical connectors from the fuel injectors.
- Remove the fuel rail bolts (1).
- Carefully remove the fuel rail (2).
- Remove the fuel injector hold-down clamp before removing the fuel injector.NOTE: Use the injector remover and slide hammer to pull the fuel injector straight out along the fuel injector axis. DO NOT tilt or twist the fuel injector during this process.
- Use J-37281-A: injector remover, and J 2619-01: hammer to remove the fuel injector.
- Once injectors have been removed it will be necessary to clean and rebuild all the injectors. Refer to Fuel Rail and Injectors Cleaning and Inspection .
- Remove the fuel injector hold-down clamp before removing the fuel injector.
- If replacing the fuel rail, remove the fuel injection fuel rail fuel pressure sensor.
- Remove the fuel injector wiring harness.
NOTE:
Carefully remove the fuel rail. The fuel injectors may come out of the cylinder head with the fuel rail.
NOTE:
A fuel injector may remain stuck in the cylinder head. If this occurs, complete the following steps:
NOTE:
Applying force to the plastic housing of the sensor will destroy the sensor. To tighten or loosen, only apply force to the attached hexagon.
