Fuel Injector Removal/Installation: Notes

WARNING:
  • Highly pressurized fuel may spray out if the fuel line is cut. Due to the following dangers occurring with a fuel spray, always complete the "Fuel Line Safety Procedure" to prevent the fuel from spraying.
    • Fuel may cause irritation if it comes in contact with skin and eyes.
    • If fuel ignites and causes a fire, it may lead to serious injury or death, and damage to property and facilities.
  • A person charged with static electricity could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before draining fuel, make sure to discharge static electricity by touching the vehicle body.
CAUTION:
  • Touching the end of the fuel injector by hand or pressing it to an object may cause a malfunction. Be very careful when handling the end of the fuel injector.
  • When the fuel distributor is removed, air tightness of the fuel injectors will be lost. Always replace the stopper ring, O-ring, back-up ring, spacer, and teflon seal on all four fuel injectors with new ones when the fuel distributor is removed.
  • Do not remove the fuel pressure sensor from the fuel distributor.
