Looks like you have to take off the throttle body and fuel rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relieve fuel system residual pressure. This can be done by removing the fuel pump relay and running the car for a while.2. Remove intake air ducting.3. Disconnect the wiring harness from the tops of each injector. Be careful as these may be brittle depending on age.4. Disconnect fuel supply and return lines from the rail ensuring they are marked for correct orientation.5. Disconnect vacuum hoses from the fuel pressure regulator.6. Disconnect the wiring loom from the fuel rail.7. Remove the retaining screws from the brackets that attach the fuel rail to the inlet manifold.8. Remove the injector to fuel rail retaining clips on each injector and remove.You should be able to remove the rail completely and each injector now. Installation is the reverse of removal. When fitting new injectors a light smear of engine oil on the o-ring will do as lubrication. DON'T use any form of Vaseline or petroleum jelly as this can cause all sorts of greif.The torque for the rail to manifold brackets is 19Nm.Happy injectoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only detail I would add is when disconnecting lines from the fuel rail, just disconnect the connections to the hardlines under the car but leave the rail connections intact. Then lift the rail out with the fuel lines still attached. Haha my mechanic just quoted $1500 to do the timing cover seal and wants to pull the engine. Even Ford only quoted $1000 and said they leave the engine in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could then quickly fit the new injectors and reg on the bench and then drop the assembly back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have the procedure down perfect. My mechanic said he also may have to remove the fuel tank. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
