park assist FORD SIERRA 1982 1.G Fuel And Exhaust Systems Fuel Injection Workshop Manual

Note: A tachometer and an exhaust gas
analyser will be required to check the idle
mixture on completion. New seals and
retaining clips must be used when refitting the
injectors, and special grease will be required -
see relevant paragraph. If the injectors are
thought to be faulty, it may be worth trying the
effect of a fuel injector cleaning agent before
removing them.
2.0 litre SOHC models
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2Disconnect the crankcase ventilation hose
from the air inlet hose, then disconnect the air
inlet hose from the inlet manifold and the
airflow meter.
3Disconnect the HT lead from the coil, then
remove the distributor cap and position the
cap and HT leads clear of the fuel rail
assembly.
4Disconnect the wiring plugs from the idle
speed control valve, the throttle position sensor
and the engine coolant temperature sensor.
5Remove the fuel pressure regulator.
6Unscrew the securing bolt and remove the
throttle return spring bracket. Disconnect the
throttle return spring.7Disconnect the fuel supply hose from the
fuel rail. Be prepared for petrol spillage.
8Disconnect the wiring plugs from the fuel
injectors, noting their locations for use when
refitting.
9Remove the three securing bolts and
withdraw the fuel rail and fuel injectors from
the inlet manifold as an assembly (see
illustrations).
10To remove a fuel injector from the fuel rail,
remove the retaining clip and withdraw the
injector (see illustration).
11Overhaul of the fuel injectors is not
possible, as no spares are available. If faulty,
an injector must be renewed.
12Commence refitting by fitting new seals to
both ends of each fuel injector. Even if only
one injector has been removed, new seals
must be fitted to all four injectors (see
illustration). Coat the seals with silicone
grease to Ford specification ESEM - ICI71 A.
Similarly, renew all four fuel injector retaining
clips.
13Further refitting is a reversal of removal,
ensuring that all hoses, wiring plugs and leads
are correctly connected. When reconnecting
the air inlet hose, make sure that the hose
clips are correctly aligned - see illustration,
Section 15.
14On completion, check and if necessary
adjust the idle mixture.
2.0 litre DOHC models
15Disconnect the battery negative lead.
16If desired, to improve access, disconnectthe wiring from the inlet air temperature
sensor in the inlet manifold. Similarly, the
throttle cable can be moved to one side by
disconnecting the cable from the throttle
linkage. The spark plug HT leads can be
disconnected and moved to one side, noting
their locations and routing to aid refitting.
17Slowly loosen the fuel rail fuel feed union
to relieve the pressure in the system. Be
prepared for fuel spillage, and take adequate
fire precautions.
18Disconnect the fuel feed hose from the
fuel rail (see illustration).
19Disconnect the fuel return hose from the
fuel pressure regulator. Again, be prepared for
fuel spillage.
20Disconnect the vacuum pipe from the top
of the fuel pressure regulator.
21Disconnect the wiring plugs from the fuel
temperature sensor and the fuel injectors,
noting their locations to assist with refitting.
22Unscrew the two securing bolts, and
withdraw the fuel rail.
23Lift the fuel injectors from their locations
in the cylinder head (see illustration).
24Overhaul of the fuel injectors is not
possible, as no spares are available. If faulty,
an injector must be renewed (refer to the note
at the start of this procedure before
condemning an injector).
25Commence refitting by fitting new seals to
both ends of each fuel injector. It is advisable
to fit new seals to all the injectors, even if only
one has been removed. Lubricate the seals
with clean engine oil.
