Fuel Rails & Fuel Injectors: Installation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2002 Toyota Tacoma, 2002 Toyota RAV4, 2002 Toyota Prius, 2002 Toyota MR2, and 2002 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. To install, reverse removal procedure using NEW grommets and "O" rings. Coat "O" ring with gasoline before installing "O" ring on fuel injector.
  2. Coat fuel rail "O" ring contact area with gasoline before installing fuel injector on fuel rail. Use twisting motion when installing fuel injector on fuel rail. Ensure electrical connector on each fuel injector is facing downward, toward intake manifold and the 2 spacers are installed on cylinder head before installing fuel rail.
  3. Install fuel rail with fuel injectors on cylinder head with fuel rail-to-cylinder head bolts loosely installed. Ensure fuel injectors rotate smoothly. If fuel injectors do not rotate smoothly, check for improper "O" ring installation and replace "O" ring on fuel injector.
  4. Ensure electrical connector on each fuel injector is facing downward, toward intake manifold. Tighten fuel rail-to-cylinder head bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure. Install fuel pipe on fuel pipe fitting. Pull on fuel pipe to ensure fuel pipe is properly locked on fuel pipe fitting. Reinstall fuel pipe clamp. Operate fuel pump and check for fuel leaks. See FUEL PUMP OPERATION under FUEL SYSTEMS in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - 4-CYLINDER article.
