Removal (Avalon & Camry Solara)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2002 Toyota Tundra, 2002 Toyota Tacoma, 2002 Toyota Sienna, 2002 Toyota Sequoia, and 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Air intake chamber must be removed for access to fuel rails and fuel injectors. See Figure and Figure . Release fuel pressure. See FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE .
  2. On Camry Solara, remove suspension upper brace. Suspension upper brace fits between strut towers and is bolted to top of each strut tower. On all models, remove air cleaner hose and "V" bank cover. See Figure and Figure . On Camry Solara, remove bolts and engine mount support brace for engine mount at timing belt end of engine. Engine mount support brace fits from top of coolant housing to the engine mount.
  3. On Avalon, disconnect control cables, electrical connectors, vacuum hoses and coolant hoses at each throttle body. On Camry Solara, remove spark plug wire assembly if necessary for access to air intake chamber and intake manifold. Disconnect control cables, electrical connectors, vacuum hoses and coolant hoses at throttle body.
  4. On all models, disconnect electrical connectors and vacuum hoses from vacuum switching valves on emission control valve set located on side of air intake chamber. See Figure and Figure .
  5. On Avalon, remove data link connector No. 1 from bracket on end of air intake chamber. See Figure. On all models, remove nuts and disconnect power steering pressure tube from engine hanger. Disconnect necessary electrical connectors, ground straps, air assist hoses and vacuum hoses for removal of air intake chamber. Disconnect PCV hose from PCV valve on rear cylinder head.
  6. On Avalon, remove bolts, engine hanger and throttle body bracket. See Figure. On Camry Solara, remove bolts, engine hanger and air intake chamber support brace from air intake chamber. Remove nuts, EGR pipe and gaskets. See Figure.
  7. On all models, remove bolts/nuts, air intake chamber and gasket. Remove air assist assembly and hoses. Note location of electrical connectors on fuel injectors for installation reference. Disconnect electrical connectors at fuel injectors.
  8. Remove fuel pipe clamp from No. 1 fuel pipe at fuel filter. Perform STEP 1 in illustration. See Figure. Ensure area around No. 1 fuel pipe and fuel filter is clean.
  9. CAUTION: Use care when disconnecting No. 1 fuel pipe from fuel filter, as some residual fuel pressure may still exist in the fuel system.
  10. Depress both sides of retainer and pull No. 1 fuel pipe with disconnect fitting from fuel filter. Perform STEP 2 in illustration. See Figure.
  11. CAUTION: When removing fuel rails, use care not to allow fuel injectors to fall from fuel rails.
  12. Remove fuel line-to-intake manifold clamp bolt at rear of intake manifold. This fuel line may also be referred to as No. 1 fuel pipe. Remove fuel rail-to-intake manifold bolts. Remove fuel rails with fuel injectors as an assembly from intake manifold. Note direction of spacer installation on intake manifold for installation reference. Remove spacers from intake manifold. Remove fuel injectors from fuel rail. Remove "O" rings, insulator and grommet from fuel injector.
