FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury, it is necessary to relieve the fuel system
pressure before servicing the fuel system
components.
Caution: After relieving the fuel system pressure, a
small amount of fuel may be released when
servicing fuel lines or connections. Reduce the
chance of personal injury by covering the fuel line
fitting with a short towel before disconnecting the
fittings. The towel will absorb any fuel that may leak
out. When the disconnect is completed, place the
towel in an approved container.
1. Remove the fuel filler cap.
2. Remove the fuel pump relay from the underhood relay box.
3. Start the engine and allow it to stall.
4. Crank the engine for about 30 seconds.
5. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY
Removal Procedure
NOTE:
• Use care when removing the fuel rail assembly in order to prevent damage to the injector al connector
terminal and the injector spray tips.
• Fitting should be capped and holes plugged during servicing to prevent dirt and other contaminants from
entering open lines and passage.
Important: An eight-digit identification number is
stamped on side of the fuel injector. Refer to this
number when you service the fuel rail or when a
replacement part is required.
1. Disconnect 4 injector connectors.
2. Lift side-clip up on the fuel rail.
3. Disconnect fuel pressure regulator hose.
4. Disconnect wiring harness from the bands on the fuel rail.
5. Remove the intake pipe.
6. Loosen flare nut.
A. Lift up the injectors carefully to separate them from intake manifold.
B. Lift up the fuel rail with injectors as assembly. Do not separate the fuel injectors from fuel rail.
C. If an injector become separated from fuel rail, injector backup O-ring and injector retainer clip
must be replaced.
D. Drain residual fuel from fuel rail into an approved container.
7. If removal of fuel pressure regulator is necessary, Refer to Fuel Pressure Regulator Removal
Procedure .

7. Install fuel rail assembly. Tighten the nuts to 19 N·m(1.9 kgf·m). Refer to Fuel Rail Installation
Procedure .
Tighten the flare nut to 27 - 33 N·m (2.8 - 3.4 kgf·m).
8. Connect the negative battery cable.FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
Removal Procedure
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury, it is necessary to relieve the fuel system
pressure before servicing the fuel system
components.
Caution: After relieving the fuel system pressure, a
small amount of fuel may be released when
servicing fuel lines or connections. Reduce the
chance of personal injury by covering the fuel line
fitting with a shop towel before disconnecting the
fittings. The towel will absorb any fuel that may leak
out. When the disconnect is completed, place the
towel in an approved container.
NOTE: Compressed air must never be used to test or
clean a fuel pressure regulator, as damage to the fuel
pressure regulator may occur.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the fuel pressure
regulator, do not immerse the pressure regulator in
solvent.
Removal Procedure
1. Depressurize the fuel system. Refer to Fuel
Pressure Relief Procedure.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuel pump relay.
4. Disconnect the vacuum line form fuel pressure regulator.

7 Position the valve spring (2) on the spring seat (1).
8 Place the valve spring retainer onto the valve spring.
CAUTION
Do not compress the valve springs less than
24.0 mm. Contact between the valve spring
retainer and the valve stem oil seal can
cause potential valve stem oil seal damage.

Compressed valve springs (1) have high
tension against the valve spring
compressor (2). Valve springs that are not
correctly compressed by, or are released
from, the valve spring compressor can be
ejected from the valve spring compressor
with intense force. Use care when
compressing or releasing the valve spring
with the valve spring compressor and when
removing or installing the valve stem keys.
Failing to use care may cause personal
injury.

EN-46119.



CAUTION
Ensure correct directional placement of
valve collets (1) in Tool No. EN-46117 (2).
The valve collets must be installed with the
tapered end towards the valve stem seal.
