Thread: Replacing Injector

I was wondering how much work it is to change a fuel injector on cylinder 5. What do I all need to take off to get to the injector?

Thanks

make sure you change all of the orings while its out. dont forget to use either o-ring grease or vasoline to lube them before you put them back into the intake manifold and the rail

Serious question, why do parts stores say this car needs 12 o-rings?

because i think it does.. lol

the lower and upper orings

Ah, "if the first one ****s up or doesnt fit because we're so incompitent, theres another one!"

lol no do not **** any of them up.. you need all 12.. or you will have to buy a new set.. one oring goes in the fuel rail.. the other in the engine.. kinda lol

LOL so thats where that came from.

one for the top of the injector when it goes into the fuel cup, one for the bottom when it goes into the bung on the head or manifold. its not rocket science fellas its only a 3.8

Oh just wait till you have to work on a DI'd engine...

yes make sure you lube them! shove them in the heads without lube and youll **** them up and have a big vacuum leak

youll probably have a hard time getting your old injector out. i used some pb blaster and just kept twisting it back and forth. then it popped right out. and your new injector will come with new o rings. dont be shocked, they are about 80 bucks apiece.

For twice that you can get six.

Well I was working last night and drove my sisters car and my dad decided to replace it himself. He said it was pretty easy. Thanks for the help guys.
