INJECTOR CHANGING INSTRUCTIONS
Injectors can be changed without dismounting the throttle body from the manifold or
disconnecting any fuel hoses as follows:
1.
Remove three button head allen screws and the chrome air cleaner cover.
2.
Remove three 3/8 hex coupling nuts that
secure the cover plate to the backing plate standoffs. This allows the cover plate to swing free on
the system wires.
3.
Remove the air filter
4.
Unscrew the two upper injector mounting
screws. These screws secure the upper
fuel cap to the backing plate. They can
be left in place along with the spacers that are between the top fuel cap and
the backing plate. Do not loosen the lower fuel cap mounting
screws.
5.
Unplug the power and ground wires from
the top of the fuel pump.
6.
Remove head-to-backing plate mounting
bolts.
7.
Remove the three button head allen screws that secure the backing plate to the throttle
body. These screws are located on the
periphery of the throttle bore. This
allows the backing plate to pull out from the throttle body to a small extent.
8.
Remove the top fuel cap from the top
injector. CAUTION: fuel will squirt,
leak. Remove injector electrical
connector. Squeeze connector bale down
against connector to disengage it from the injector body. Remove the top injector from its boss in the
throttle body. The injectors are o-ring
mounted, and are a tight fit in their bosses.
9.
Pull the backing plate down and away from
the throttle body to disconnect the lower fuel cap from its injector. Unplug injector connector.
10.
Remove the bottom injector from its boss.
11.
Plug new injector into the lower throttle
body boss. Use o-ring lubricant or
engine oil to lubricate the injector
o-rings. Plug in injector
connector. It locks in place.
12.
Push backing plate in and up to plug
bottom fuel cap onto lower injector.
13.
Plug new top injector into its throttle
body boss. Plug in connector.
14.
Push top fuel cap onto top injector.
15.
Replace backing plate-to-throttle body
mounting screws. Loctite is good here.
16.
Screw top fuel cap to backing plate,
insuring that spacers are still between fuel cap and backside of backing
plate. Replace the #8 internal star
lockwashers with new ones, to preclude the screws from coming loose in
service. If new lockwashers are not
available use blue Loctite.
17.
Reconnect the fuel pump power and ground
wires.
18.
Reinstall the air filter, insuring that
the backing plate side of air filter is clear of the screw heads on the backing
plate.
19.
Mount the cover plate with three coupling
nuts.
20.
Replace the chrome air cleaner cover.
