Removal and Installation (CYLINDER 1 and CYLINDER 3): Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Record the fuel injector trim codes that are listed on the top of each fuel injector (1) and record the cylinder location where each injector will be installed.NOTE:
- The fuel injector trim codes are seven character alphanumeric codes located the top of the injector.
- If the fuel injector is replaced, perform INJECTOR ADJUSTMENT VALUE REGISTRATION. Refer to Description .
- Verify that the new injector sealing washer (1) is the correct thickness using a suitable tool (A).CAUTION:
- To avoid possible leaks, fuel system component damage or performance issues, always use the correct components, assemble in the correct order and tighten fuel system components to the specified torque.
- Do not reuse the sealing washer.
Injector sealing washer thickness (B)
: 2.5 mm (0.10 in)
- Verify a new sealing washer has been installed on the tip of the injector.NOTE: A double stacked or incorrect sealing washer can cause high-pressure fuel leaks and/or performance problems because of incorrect injector protrusion.
(A)
: Good
(B)
: NG
- Position fuel injector pairs into a hold-down clamp (1) and make sure the spherical washer (B) is installed between the bolt (A) and the hold-down clamp with the flat side of the washer mating to the bolt.CAUTION: Do not reuse the O-ring.NOTE:
- Install a new O-ring if reinstalling existing fuel injector.
- Lubricate the injector o-ring with lithium grease and a small amount of clean engine oil.
- The injector hold-down clamp is noted with a "TOP" on the side of the injector clamp that points outward of the engine.
- Make sure the injector bore is clean.
- Install pairs of injectors (2) into the injector bores in the cylinder heads.NOTE:
- The Bank 2 injector harness connectors (A) point to the rear of the engine. Bank 1 injector harness connectors (A) point to the front of the engine.
- If reusing the injector, make sure that the number identified on the injector matches the cylinder number.
- Be careful that pressure is not placed on the electrical connectors. The electrical connectors can break off if used to push on the injector.
(1)
: Injector hold-down clamp
- Tighten the injector hold-down clamp bolts (A).
Step 1
: 24 N.m (2.4 kg-m, 18 ft-lb)
Step 2
: Tighten 90 degrees
(B)
: Spherical washer
- Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.NOTE:
- If a malfunction resulted in coolant, oil, excessive fuel, or excessive black smoke entering the exhaust system, the aftertreatment system must be inspected. Refer to and Aftertreatment DPF Regeneration Test .
- Prime the fuel system. Refer to Priming (Fuel system priming).
- Run CONSULT High-Pressure Fuel System Leak Test. Refer to High-Pressure Fuel System Leak Test .
- Operate the engine and check for leaks.
