Fuel Injector Replacement (SFI)

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

NOTE: 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.

CAUTION: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in Cautions and Notices.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Relieve fuel system pressure.
3. Remove the intake manifold plenum.
4. Disconnect the fuel rail assembly.

DISASSEMBLE PROCEDURE
1. Disconnect the electrical wiring harness.
2. Remove the injector retainer clip (1) and discard.
3. Remove the fuel injector assembly (3).

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