So I looked under all the diy/mod the ca section and it looks like no one had done an injector install write up? If not anyone care to? (if someone did maybe Dee/TMS?) Searched for it but didn't find to much that is helpful other then really bland description that basically points out not to smoke while doing it lol Anyone down?Thanks

Ive already posted it somewhere. Basically, pull the fuel pump fuse and let run until she dies, then pull the rubber fuel lines. Undo your wiring harness that goes up there, remove the breathers and the little manifold braces, then the two 10mm bolts holding down the fuel rail. Then remove the whole thing, replace, and reinstall.

Not quite that simple, but that's the gist of it. Really really easy and should only take you 30 minutes at the most.

Good luck!

took me nearly 2 hours to do........... all because I didnt realize the 14MM bolt at the rear of the manifold was holding the fuel rail down.

Yeah when I first took a look at a glance thought I'd have to take the whole intake mani off, t.g. that's not the case!
