not properly installed to fuel rail (or other fuel line). Recheck fuel lineconnection.
8. Connect negative cable to battery.
9. Start engine and check for leaks.
RAIL - FUEL
DESCRIPTION
The fuel injector rail is used to mount the fuel injectors to the engine.
OPERATION
High pressure from the fuel pump is routed to the fuel rail. The fuel rail then supplies the necessary fuel to each
individual fuel injector.
A quick-connect fitting with a safety latch clip is used to attach the fuel linetothefuelrail.
The fuel rail is not repairable.
CAUTION: The left and right sections of the fuel rail are connected with either a flexible connecting hose, or
joints. Do not attempt to separate the rail halves at these connecting hoseor joints. Due to the design of
the connecting hose or joint, it does not use any clamps. Never attempt to install a clamping device of any
kind to the hose or joint. When removing the fuel rail assembly for any reason, be careful not to bend or
kink the connecting hose or joint.
REMOVAL
3.7L V-6
WARNING: The fuel system is under constant pressure even with engine off. Before servicing fuel rail, fuel
system pressure must be released.
CAUTION: The left and right fuel rails are replaced as an assembly. Do not attempt to separate rail halves
at connector tubes. Due to design of tubes, it does not use any clamps. Neverattempt to install a clamping
device of any kind to tubes. When removing fuel rail assembly for any reason, be careful not to bend or
kink tubes.

DARD PROCEDURE)
8. Remove necessary vacuumlines at throttle body.
9. Disconnect electrical connectors at all 6 fuel injec-
tors. To remove connector refer to. Push red col-
ored slider away from injector (1). While pushing
slider, depress tab (2) and remove connector (3)
from injector. The factory fuel injection wiring har-
ness is numerically tagged (INJ 1, INJ 2, etc.) for
injector position identification. If harness is not
tagged, note wiring location before removal.
10. Disconnect electrical connectors at all throttle body sensors.
11. Remove 6 ignition coils. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IGNITION CONTROL/IGNITION COIL - REMOVAL)
12. Remove 4 fuel rail mounting bolts (1).
13. Gently rock and pullleftside of fuel rail until fuel
injectors just start to clear machined holes in cyl-
inder head. Gently rock and pullrightside of rail
until injectors just start to clear cylinder head
holes. Repeat this procedure (left/right) until all
injectors have cleared cylinder head holes.
14. Remove fuel rail (with injectors attached) from
engine.
15. If fuel injectors are to be removed, (Refer to 14 -
FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL INJECTION/FUEL INJEC-
TOR - REMOVAL).
