Fuel Rail Assembly
Removal Procedure
NOTE:

Do not attempt to remove the fuel inlet fitting on the
fuel rail. It is staked in place. Removing the fuel inlet
fitting will result in damage to the fuel rail or the
internal O-ring seal.

Use care when removing the fuel rail assembly in
order to prevent damage to the injector electrical
connector terminals and the injector spray tips.

Fittings should be capped and holes plugged during
servicing to prevent dirt and other contaminants from
entering open lines and passages.
IMPORTANT:An eight-digit identification number is
stamped on the side of the fuel rail. Refer to this number
when you service the fuel rail or when a replacement part
is required.
014RY00008Before removal, the fuel rail assembly may be cleaned
with a spray type engine cleaner. Follow the spray
package instructions. Do not immerse the fuel rails in
liquid cleaning solvent.
1. Depressurize the fuel system. Refer to Fuel Pressure
Relief Procedure in this Section.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the engine cover.
4. Disconnect the throttle position sensor electrical
connector from throttle body.
5. Disconnect the connectors from manifold absolute
pressure sensor, solenoid valve, electric vacuum
sensing valve.
6. Disconnect the vacuum hose on canister VSV and
positive crankcase ventilation hose.
7. Remove the common chamber. Refer to the common
chamber in Engine Mechanical section.
1. Lift up carefully on the fuel injectors. Do not
separate the fuel injectors from the fuel rail.2. If an injector becomes separated from the fuel
rail, the infector O-ring seals and the retainer clip
must be replaced.
3. Drain residual fuel into an approved container.
