DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fuel Charging And Controls
The fuel injection supply manifold (9F792):
zdelivers fuel to the fuel injector.
z receives fuel from the fuel supply line.
The throttle body (9E926):
zcontrols air supply to the upper intake manifold (9424) by positioning the throttle plate.
z connects the accelerator cable (9A758) and, if equipped, the speed control actuator cable
(9A825) to the throttle lever.
z is not adjustable.
z cannot be cleaned.
The fuel injector (9F593):
zis electrically operated by the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650).
z has an internal solenoid that opens a needle valve to inject fuel into the lower intake manifold.
z atomizes the fuel as the fuel is delivered.
z is deposit- resistant. Do not clean.
The fuel pressure relief valve (9H321):
zis used to inspect and relieve fuel pressure.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Fuel Injectors
Removal and Installation
WARNING: Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when
working on or near any fuel related components. Highly flammable mixtures are always present
and may ignite. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when the engine is
not running. Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel lines or fuel system
components, the fuel pressure must be relieved. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in personal injury
1. Remove the supply manifold. For additional information, refer to Supply Manifold in this section.
2. Remove the six fuel injectors from the supply manifold.
3. CAUTION: The retaining clip must be in the upper groove on the injector or the
injector may become loose.
NOTE: Inspect the two O- rings from each fuel injector. Install new O- rings as needed.
NOTE: Lubricate the new O- rings with clean engine oil to aid installation.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
