Disassemble and inspect the following components for ALL exposed fuel injectors (1) :
- Fuel Injector Hold Down Clamp (2) - ONLY replace if necessary
- Fuel Injector Collar (3) - ONLY replace if necessary
- Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Seal (4) - ALWAYS replace
- Fuel Injector Seal Spacer (5) - ALWAYS replace
- Fuel Injector Dust Seal (6) - ALWAYS replace
- Fuel Injector Nozzle Housing Seals (7) - ALWAYS replace
- Rebuild ALL removed fuel injectors (1). Fuel Rail and Injectors Cleaning and Inspection
