Remove the rags covering the intake
manifold opening and boost tube, then
reinstall the intake manifold inlet adapter casting
on the intake manifold. Inspect the gasket and
if necessary use the new gasket provided if the
original was damaged. Reinstall the dipstick tube
clamp and bolt. Check that the boost tube hose
is properly engaged on the manifold adapter and
the clamp is positioned properly on the hose, then
tighten the clamp nut.
for Stinger and Stinger-plus installation, proceed to
CHECkING ENGINE pERfoRmaNCE.
FUEL LINE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
If injector lines have been disconnected, the
engine may not start due to air in the lines
or it may run erratically until air is purged. If the
engine will not start after 30 seconds of cranking,
allow a 2 minute starter cooling period, followed
by another 30 seconds of cranking. If the engine
will not start after several of these cycles, bleed
the fuel system as follows:
a. Loosen the bleed bolt in the top of the forward
banjo fitting above the fuel filter.
b. operate the rubber push button primer on the
fuel transfer pump until fuel exiting the bleed bolt
is free of air. Tighten the bleed bolt to 6 lb-ft. of
torque.
C. Crank the engine for 30 seconds followed by a 2
minute cooling period. Repeat this procedure several
times as required to start engine.
D. once engine starts, bring engine speed slightly
above idle for 1-2 minutes to bleed additional air,
then allow to idle.
If the engine still will not start or runs erratically
after this procedure, bleed the high pressure lines
while observing these safety precautions:
a. place vehicle in park or neutral with
parking brake set. Vehicle may start during
purging procedure.
b. Do not bleed lines on a hot engine. Do not allow
fuel to spray on a hot exhaust manifold.
C. High pressure fuel spray can puncture your
skin. wear goggles and protective clothing. avoid
contact with fuel spray while bleeding lines.
bleed air from one high pressure injector
line at a time as follows:
a. Slightly loosen the line nut at the injector end of
the line.
b. Crank the engine until all air appears to be
bled from the line. Do not crank for more than
30 seconds. wait 2 minutes between cranking
intervals.
C. Tighten each injector line nut to 22 lb-ft. of
torque before moving to the next injector line.
NoTE: Engine may start and run while cranking
to bleed air. Continue the air bleeding procedure
on the remaining injector lines with the engine
running, bleeding them one at a time until the
engine runs smoothly.
