Fuel Pressure Sensor: Installation

  1. Replace injector seal, retainer, and O-ring with a new part. < Ref. to REPLACEMENT , Fuel Injector. >
  2. Set the holder to the fuel injector, and install it to the fuel injector pipe RH.
    CAUTION:
    • Always use a new holder.
    • Always use a new fuel injector pipe RH.

  5. Temporarily tighten the fuel pressure sensor to the fuel injector pipe RH until it cannot be turned by hand.
    CAUTION: Always use a new fuel pressure sensor.
  6. Tighten the fuel pressure sensor.
    CAUTION:
    • Be careful not to spill oil on the screw sections of the fuel pressure sensor and the fuel injector pipe RH.
    • Be careful not to let foreign matter enter into the fuel pressure sensor during installation.
    • Do not recheck the tightening torque after installing the fuel pressure sensor.

    Tightening torque: 

    46 N.m (4.7 kgf-m, 33.9 ft-lb)

  7. Install the high-pressure fuel delivery pipe assembly.
    NOTE: Use a new high-pressure fuel delivery pipe assembly.
    1. Temporarily tighten the flare nuts (A) to the fuel pipe by hand until it is seated, and secure the high-pressure fuel delivery pipe assembly to the water pipe assembly using bolts (B).

      Tightening torque: 

      T1: 6.4 N.m (0.7 kgf-m, 4.7 ft-lb) 

    2. Tighten the flare nuts on both ends (A).

      Tightening torque: 

      T2: 25 N.m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.4 ft-lb)
