Steps
Relieve fuel pressure
Work outdoors or in a well-ventilated area with no ignition sources nearby. With the engine running, remove the fuel-pump relay and allow the engine to stall, then switch the ignition off.
Remove intake components
Disconnect the pressure sensor and remove the upper intake fasteners. Loosen the air-box and throttle-body connections, unplug the wiring, and move the intake assembly clear.
Access the injector
Remove the fuel-rail fasteners and lift the rail carefully. Cover open intake ports with clean lint-free material, disconnect the injector connector, and release the injector retaining clip.
Replace the injector
Remove the old injector and inspect its sealing surfaces. Fit the replacement with clean, undamaged seals, secure its retaining clip, and reconnect the electrical connector.
Reinstall the fuel rail and intake
Seat the injectors evenly in the rail and manifold, then install the rail fasteners and tighten to specification. Refit the intake, sensor, air box, hoses, and wiring.
Prime and check for leaks
Reinstall the fuel-pump relay and cycle the ignition several times to pressurize the system without starting. Inspect every fuel connection for seepage before starting and again with the engine running.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
