- Replace the fuel rail solenoid (Refer to FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL INJECTION/FUEL PRESSURE SOLENOID - REMOVAL) .
- Install the fuel pressure sensor (Refer to FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL INJECTION/FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR - INSTALLATION) .
- Install fuel rail on cylinder head cover/intake manifold. See Figure. Torque retaining bolts to 27.5N.m.
- Connect injector high pressure fuel lines at fuel rail. See Figure.
- Connect fuel rail high pressure fuel line at fuel rail.
- Connect fuel rail fuel return line at fuel rail. See Figure.
