High-Pressure Fuel Pump: Installation
- Inspect the high-pressure fuel pump roller tappet. If any flat spots or scoring are found, especially in the indicated areas, then inspect the high-pressure fuel pump and the high-pressure fuel pump roller tappet drive lobe. Install new components as needed.
-
NOTE: Only rotate the crankshaft Clockwise (CW) or damage to the engine may occur.NOTE: The cam lobe for the high-pressure fuel pump must be at BDC for the high-pressure fuel pump installation.
Using the crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crankshaft until the high-pressure fuel pump cam lobe is at BDC.
- Apply clean engine oil to the high-pressure fuel pump drive unit bore and the drive lobe and the roller tappet. Refer to: Specifications
.
-
NOTE: The roller tappet's roller goes down towards the camshaft.NOTE: Align the notch on the high-pressure fuel pump tappet and with the groove in the high-pressure fuel pump drive unit bore.
Install the high-pressure fuel pump tappet.
- Apply clean engine oil to the new high-pressure fuel pump O-ring seal. Install a new high-pressure fuel pump O-ring seal. Refer to: Specifications
.
-
NOTE: Install new high-pressure fuel pump bolts.
Install the high-pressure fuel pump and the new high-pressure fuel pump bolts. Alternately tighten each bolt 1/2 of a revolution until seated, then tighten in the following 2 stages.
Torque: Stage 1: Tighten to: : 44 lb.in (5 Nm) - - Stage 2: Tighten an additional: : 55°
- Connect the high-pressure fuel pump fuel feed tube quick release coupling. Refer to: QUICK RELEASE COUPLING - 2.3L
.
-
NOTE: Make sure that a new high-pressure fuel tube is installed.
- Install the new high-pressure fuel tube and the bracket bolt and studbolt, then tighten the high pressure fuel tube flare nuts and the bracket bolt and studbolt only finger tight at this stage.
- Calculate the correct torque wrench setting for the following torque using the Torque Wrench Adapter Formulas below.
Torque: High pressure fuel tube flare nuts, : Stage 1: Tighten to: : 62 lb.in (7 Nm) - - Stage 2: Tighten to: : 89 lb.in (10 Nm) - - Stage 3: Tighten an additional: : 38° High-pressure fuel tube bracket bolt and studbolt, tighten to: : 97 lb.in (11 Nm)
- Install the bracket, then install and tighten the nuts.
Torque: 97 lb.in (11 Nm)
- Connect the electrical connector, then attach the wiring harness retainers.
-
NOTE: When removing or installing the high-pressure fuel pump noise insulator, spreading the openings will reduce the risk of damage.
Install the high-pressure fuel pump noise insulator.
- Connect the high-pressure fuel pump electrical connector and the sensor connector.
- Install the intake manifold. Refer to: Intake Manifold .
- Connect the battery. Refer to: Battery Disconnect and Connect .
- Pressurize the fuel system. Refer to: Fuel System Pressure Release .
