Tools Required

Notice: Use care in removing the fuel injectors in order to prevent damage to the fuel injector electrical connector pins or the fuel injector nozzles. Do not immerse the fuel injector in any type of cleaner. The fuel injector is an electrical component and may be damaged by this cleaning method.

Important: Leaking fuel injectors may contaminate the engine oil with fuel.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to the Fuel Pressure Relief .
3. Remove the fuel rail assembly. Refer to Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Assembly Replacement .
4. Spread the injector retainer clip to release the injector from the fuel rail.
5. Remove the fuel injector.
6. Discard the injector retainer clip.
7. Remove the injector O-ring seals from both ends of the injector.
8. Discard the injector O-ring seals.

Important: When ordering new fuel injectors, be sure to order the correct injector for the application being serviced.

The fuel injector assembly is stamped with a part number identification (2), a manufacturing date (3), a week code (1), and a production plant number (4).

1. Lubricate the new injector O-ring seals with clean engine oil.
2. Install the new injector O-ring seals on the injector.
3. Install a new retainer clip on the injector.
4. Push the fuel injector into the fuel rail injector socket with the electrical connector facing outward.
5. Install the fuel rail assembly. Refer to Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Assembly Replacement .
6. Tighten the fuel filler cap.
7. Connect the negative battery cable.
8. Inspect for leaks.
