Fuel Rail: Installation
-
NOTE: Do not lubricate the new lower Teflon ® fuel injector seals.
- Install the Teflon ® Seal Guide onto the fuel injector tip. Use Special Service Tool: 310-207 Installer, Fuel Injector Seal Assembly.
-
NOTE: Once the Teflon ® seal is installed on the Teflon ® Seal Guide, it should immediately be installed onto the fuel injector to avoid excessive expansion of the Teflon ® seal.NOTE: Make sure that new lower fuel injector Teflon ® seals are installed.
Install the new Teflon ® seals onto the Teflon ® Seal Guide, using the Pusher Tool, slide the Teflon ® seals along the Teflon ® Seal Guide.
- Using the Pusher Tool, slide the Teflon ® seals off of the Teflon ® Seal Guide and into the groove on the fuel injectors. Use Special Service Tool: 310-207 Installer, Fuel Injector Seal Assembly.
- Remove the special tools.
-
NOTE: Make sure the Teflon ® seal is fully seated in the groove on the fuel injector before sizing the Teflon ® seal.
- Massage and warm the Teflon ® seal with your fingers before the Teflon ® seal sizer tool is installed. This will aid in installing the Teflon ® seal sizer tool.
- Position the Teflon ® seal sizer tool with the larger opening towards the Teflon ® seal. Push while turning the Teflon ® seal sizer tool 180 degrees. Use Special Service Tool: 303-1567 Sizer, Teflon Seal.
- Once the Teflon ® seal sizer tool is installed, check and make sure the Teflon ® seal is in the sizing portion of the Teflon ® seal sizer tool.
- After one minute, turn the Teflon ® seal sizer tool back 180 degrees and remove.
-
NOTE: Make sure that new fuel injector support rings and new fuel injector O-ring seals are installed.
-
NOTE: The new the fuel injector support rings must be installed in the correct orientation with the wide surface area facing up against the fuel injector O-ring seals. Improperly installed support rings may cause the fuel system to leak.
Install the new the fuel injector support rings.
-
NOTE: Use fuel injector O-ring seals that are made of special fuel-resistant material. The use of ordinary O-ring seals may cause the fuel system to leak. Do not reuse the O-ring seals.NOTE: Do not lubricate the new lower Teflon ® fuel injector seals.
Install the new fuel injector O-ring seals and lubricate them with clean engine oil.
- Install the new the fuel injector clips.
-
-
NOTE: The FRP sensor must be replaced if it is removed from the fuel rail.NOTE: The anti-rotation finger of the fuel injector must slip into the groove of the fuel rail cup.
Install the fuel injectors to the fuel rail. Refer to: Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor .
-
NOTE: Do not lubricate the new lower Teflon ® fuel injector seals.
-
NOTE: No sudden impact force is allowed.
Press the fuel rail down into the cylinder head injector bores by hand, then install and hand start fuel rail bolts 3 and 4.
- Release the force before tightening.
- Install the remaining fuel rail bolts. Tighten all of the fuel rail bolts in the sequence shown and in the following 5 stages.
Torque:
Stage 1: 89 lb.in (10 Nm)
Stage 2: Release the torque to : 0 lb.in (0 Nm)
Stage 3: Wait 5s
Stage 4: 124 lb.in (14 Nm)
Stage 5: 30 °
-
-
- Connect the fuel injector electrical connectors and then install the fuel rail insulator.
- Connect the FRP sensor electrical connector.
- Connect the electrical connector retainer to the fuel rail tab.
-
NOTE: Make sure that a new high-pressure fuel tube is installed.
Install the new high-pressure fuel tube and then tighten the high pressure fuel tube flare nuts only finger tight at this stage.
- Install the high-pressure fuel tube nut and bolt only tighten finger tight at this stage.
-
NOTE: Calculate the correct torque wrench setting for the following torque using the Torque Wrench Adapter Formulas shown below.
Tighten the high pressure fuel tube flare nuts in the following 2 stages.
Torque:
Stage 1: 133 lb.in (15 Nm)
Stage 2: 30 °
-
- Tighten the high-pressure fuel tube nut.
Torque: 150 lb.in (17 Nm)
- Tighten the high-pressure fuel tube bolt.
Torque: 89 lb.in (10 Nm)
- Tighten the high-pressure fuel tube nut.
- Install the evaporative emission canister purge valve, then install and tighten the evaporative emission canister purge valve bracket nuts.
Torque: 97 lb.in (11 Nm)
-
NOTE: When removing or installing the high-pressure fuel pump noise insulator, spreading the openings will reduce the risk of damage.
Install the high-pressure fuel pump noise insulator.
- Connect the high-pressure fuel pump electrical connector.
- Attach the brake vacuum line retainer.
- Install the upper air cleaner outlet pipe. Refer to: Air Cleaner Outlet Pipe .
- Install the intake manifold. Refer to: Intake Manifold .
- Connect the battery. Refer to: Battery Disconnect and Connect .
- Pressurize the fuel system. Refer to: Fuel System Pressure Release .
