inder head. Gently rock and pullrightside of rail
until injectors just start to clear cylinder head
holes. Repeat this procedure (left/right) until all
injectors have cleared cylinder head holes.
14. Remove fuel rail (with injectors attached) from
engine.

WARNING: The fuel system is under constant pressure even with engine off. Before servicing fuel rail, fuel
system pressure must be released. (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY- STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)
CAUTION: The left and right fuel rails are replaced as an assembly. Do not attempt to separate rail halves
at connector tube. Due to design of tube, it does not use any clamps. Never attempt to install a clamping
device of any kind to tube. When removing fuel rail assembly for any reason,be careful not to bend or kink
tube.

INJECTOR - FUEL
DESCRIPTION
An individual fuel injector (1) is used for each individ-
ual cylinder.
OPERATION
FUEL INJECTOR
The top (fuel entry) end of the injector (1) is attached
into an opening on the fuel rail.
The fuel injectors are electrical solenoids. The injector
contains a pintle that closes off an orifice at the nozzle
end. When electric current is supplied to the injector,
the armature and needle move a short distance
against a spring, allowing fuel to flow out the orifice.
Because the fuel is under high pressure, a fine spray
is developed in the shape of a pencil stream. The
spraying action atomizes the fuel, adding it to the air
entering the combustion chamber.
The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors are positioned
into openings in the intake manifold just above the
intake valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine
wiring harness connector for each fuel injector is
equipped with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM will
adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual injector on and off. Injector pulse width is
the period of time that the injector isenergized. The PCM will adjust injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
Battery voltage is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay.
The PCM determines injector pulse width based on various inputs.
PCM OUTPUT
The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into openings in the intakemanifold just above the intake valve ports
of the cylinder head. The engine wiring harness connector for each fuel injector is equipped with an attached
numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel injector with its respective cylinder number.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM will
adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual injector on and off. Injector pulse width is
the period of time that the injector isenergized. The PCM will adjust injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
Page 2294 of 5267
Battery voltage (12 volts +) is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay. The ASD relay will shut-down the 12
volt power source to the fuel injectors if the PCM senses the ignition is on,but the engine is not running. This
occurs after the engine has not been running for approximately 1.8 seconds.
The PCM determines injector on-time (pulse width) based on various inputs.
