Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra and 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the upper intake manifold. Refer to Upper Intake Manifold Replacement .
- Reposition both sides of the fuel meter body bracket (1) until the tabs disengage from the fuel meter body, and lift the fuel meter body up.
- Remove and discard the fuel meter body seal.
- Prior to removal, clean the fuel meter body with a spray type engine cleaner, such as GM X-30A, or equivalent, if necessary. Follow the package instructions. Do not soak the fuel meter body in liquid cleaning solvent.
- Lightly pull on the fuel injector tube, and using a small pocket screwdriver, remove the fuel injector from the lower intake manifold bore.
- Remove the other 5 fuel injectors from the lower intake manifold bores.
- Remove the fuel meter body from the vehicle.
NOTE:
An 8-digit part identification number is on a mylar label affixed to the fuel meter body. Refer to this number if servicing or part replacement is required.
CAUTION:
Do not use any solvent that contains Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK). This solvent may damage fuel system components.
NOTE:
When removing the injectors, mark the injectors with tape and their corresponding cylinder number in order to ensure correct injector placement upon installation.
NOTE:
During the removal of the fuel meter body, the retainers that hold the injectors into the intake manifold may become worn. This is OK. Upon installation of the intake manifold, the injectors will be held fully seated, thus keeping them from backing out of the lower intake manifold.
CAUTION:
Cover the injector sockets in order to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the open fuel passages.
