- Remove the fuel rail stop bracket and bolt, if required.
- Remove the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator.
- Loosen the crossover tube-to-right fuel rail retaining bolt.
- Remove the fuel rail bolts.
- Remove the fuel rail, with injectors, lifting evenly from both sides of the fuel rail until all the injectors have left their bores.
Caution: The fuel rail stop bracket must be installed onto the engine assembly. The stop bracket serves as a protective shield for the fuel rail in the event of a vehicle frontal crash. If the fuel rail stop bracket is not installed and the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash, fuel could be sprayed possibly causing a fire and personal injury from burns.
Notice:
• Remove the fuel rail assembly carefully in order to prevent damage
to the injector electrical connector terminals and the injector spray tips.
Support the fuel rail after the fuel rail is removed in order to avoid damaging
the fuel rail components. • Cap the fittings and plug the holes when servicing the fuel system
in order to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering open pipes and
passages.
Important: The intake manifold, throttle body, fuel injection rail and fuel injectors may be removed as an assembly. If not servicing the individual components, remove the intake manifold as a complete assembly.
Important:
• Do not separate the fuel injectors from the fuel rail unless component
service is required. • Use cleanliness and care when handling the fuel system components. • Do not allow dirt or debris to enter the fuel injectors or fuel rail
components. Cap ends as necessary.
