High-Pressure Oil Pump: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford RV Cutaway, 2003 Ford Econoline, 2003 Ford E550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2003 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

On Excursion and "F" series vehicles, disconnect the air charge cooler inlet and outlet pipes. See Fig 1. Label and disconnect the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor electrical connector, Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor electrical connector and the pressure hoses. See Fig 2. Loosen the compressor manifold clamps and remove the compressor manifold. Remove and discard the compressor manifold "O" ring seal. See Fig 3.
Remove the fuel filter/water separator assembly. See FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR .
Remove the high-pressure oil pump reservoir plug. See Fig 4. Using the Oil Suction Gun (303-D104, D94T-9000-A), remove the oil from the high-pressure oil pump reservoir.
Using the High-Pressure Line Disconnect Tool (303-625), remove the hoses from the high-pressure oil pump. See Fig 5. Disconnect the Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) valve harness connector. See Fig 6.
Remove the bolts and the cover from the engine front cover. See Fig 7. Position the wiring harness aside. Remove the drive gear bolt and washer from the drive gear. See Fig 8.

NOTE: If a NEW high-pressure oil pump is to be installed, remove the oil pressure regulator from the pump.

Remove the high-pressure oil pump bolts and the high-pressure oil pump from the engine front cover. See Fig 9. Remove and discard the high-pressure oil pump gasket. Remove the IPR valve from the oil pump. See Fig 10.

NOTE: Make sure that the drive gear is fully seated on the high-pressure oil pump before installing the bolt and washer. Otherwise, the drive gear may not seat properly, causing binding or slippage resulting in a no oil flow condition.

To install, reverse removal procedure. Install a NEW compressor manifold "O" ring seal. Tighten fasteners to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
