Intake Manifold Lower Section with Fuel Rail






Intake Manifold Lower Section with Fuel Rail

Removing

The following removal and installation procedure is for the left lower section of the intake manifold. The procedure for the other side is identical.


There is a risk of injury because the fuel is under very high pressure.

Before opening high pressure area of the fuel injection system, fuel pressure must be relieved to residual pressure.

To reduce remaining residual pressure, lay a clean cloth around the connector and carefully loosen connector.

- Reduce fuel pressure in high pressure area. Refer to => [ Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System ] Service and Repair.

- Remove the upper section of the intake manifold. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold Upper Section ] Intake Manifold Upper Section.

- Disconnect the electrical connector on the fuel pressure sensor (G247) - 2 -.






- Remove the union nut - 1 -.

- Remove the bolts and nuts - arrows - and the intake manifold lower section with the fuel rail.

Plug the intake ports of the cylinder head with clean rags.
