Fuel Injector (For Direct Injection), Intake Manifold: Installation

  1. INSTALL FUEL INJECTOR SEAL 
    1. Apply engine conditioner to the injector area shown in the illustration. Using a piece of cloth, clean carbon deposits from the injector and its grooves.

      NOTE:
      • Do not clean the tip of the injector.
      • Do not use a wire brush to clean the injector.
      • If an injector is dropped or the tips of the injectors are struck, replace it with a new one.
    2. Apply engine oil to the injector contact surface of SST (guide). Then attach SST (guide) to the injector with the tapered inner portion facing the tip of the injector, as shown in the illustration.

      SST 09260-39015 (09268-03010) 

      NOTE: Be careful not to install the injector seal to SST (holder) at an angle. Doing so will stretch the seal and correcting this problem is very complicated.
    4. Install SST (holder with injector seal) to the tip of the injector. Slide the seal downward into the injector groove (injector connector side) with your fingers, as shown in the illustration.

      SST 09260-39015 (09268-03010, 09268-03020) 

      HINT:

      Check that the seal covers the circumference of the injector groove as shown in the illustration.

    5. Using SST (holder), gently press downward on the injector seal (injector connector side). Then slowly slide SST (guide) towards the injector tip to settle the seal into the injector groove.

      SST 09260-39015 (09268-03010, 09268-03020) 

      NOTE: Be careful that the seal is not pinched between SST (guide) and the injector groove. Replace the seal if it becomes damaged.

      HINT:

      • When using SST (guide) to settle the seal into the groove, SST (guide) only needs to be slid upward to the position labeled A in the illustration.
      • After using SST (guide) to settle the seal into the groove, return SST (guide) to its position labeled B in the illustration.
    6. Install a new injector seal to the injector groove (injector tip side) as shown in the illustration.

      SST 09260-39015 (09268-03010, 09268-03020) 

      NOTE: Make sure that the seal does not slip into the welded groove of the injector shown in the illustration. If it does, replace it with a new one.
    8. Slowly slide SST (guide) towards the tip of the injector. When the injector contact surface of SST (guide) aligns with the seal (injector connector side) as shown in the illustration, hold the position for 5 seconds or more to fully align the seal into the injector groove.

      SST 09260-39015 (09268-03020) 

      NOTE: Be careful that the seal is not pinched between SST (guide) and the injector groove. Replace the seal if it becomes damaged.

      HINT:

      • Set SST (guide) so that its bottom surface and seal are flush.
      • If there is difficulty in sliding SST upward, slowly wiggle it from side to side while sliding it up the injector little by little.
    9. Using SST (holder), gently press downward on the injector seal (injector tip side). Then slowly slide SST (guide) towards the injector tip to settle the seal into the injector groove.
