Removal And Installation: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jeep Renegade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate the crankshaft using the damper bolt. The bolt has left-hand threads and can be inadvertently loosened resulting in loss of camshaft timing. Only rotate the damper itself in a clockwise direction (as viewed from the front).
- Perform the fuel pressure release procedure. Refer to FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE .
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable.
- Remove the engine cover. Refer to COVER, ENGINE, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Remove the air cleaner body. Refer to BODY, AIR CLEANER, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Remove the battery tray. Refer to TRAY, BATTERY, REMOVAL
.
- Using the (special tool #2069100090, Holder, Front Damper 3 Pin) (1), rotate the crankshaft clockwise (as viewed from the front) and position the number 1 cylinder piston 90 degrees from top-dead-center (TDC) to place the camshaft between pump cam lobes (zero lift). This will relieve pressure from the pump roller tappet.
- Thoroughly clean the area around the fuel line nuts to prevent contaminates from entering the fuel system.
- Loosen the fuel line nuts (1, 2a) and remove the high pressure fuel line (2b).NOTE:
The high pressure fuel line can be reused if the injection pump and fuel rail are being reused, otherwise the high pressure fuel line must be discarded and replaced.
- Disconnect the fuel supply line (1) from the injection pump.
- Unlock and disconnect the wire harness connector (2) from the injection pump.
- Unlock and disconnect the coolant temperature sensor wire harness connector (1).
- To avoid side loading damage to the pump, remove the bolts (1a) at the same time, or in alternating one half turn increments and remove the fuel injection pump (1b) complete with roller tappet (1c).
