8. Disconnect the four injector connectors. Remove, and set
aside, the three retaining nuts (and steel nut spacers on 1.8L
engines) on the back side of the fuel rail that are securing it
to the intake manifold. Remove the fuel rail with injectors.
9. Following the diagram (see Figure 1), install the plug and
fuel line/rail adapter onto the fuel rail as shown.
10. Install the mounting tabs and regulator adapter onto the rail.
1.6L only: Secure the EVAP purge control solenoid to the
solenoid mounting bracket before mounting it to the rail. A
small amount of blue Loctite 247 is recommended on all
faste ners.
11. Using the factory 6mm bolts, attach the regulator to the
regulator adapter.
12. Lubricate the injector O-rings and seal rings (on the intake
manifold) with clean engine oil. To prevent damage to the
O-rings, install the injectors in the fuel rail first, then install the
rail assembly into the intake manifold.
13. 1.8L only: Slide one of the spacers onto each of the three
mounting studs (positioned on
top of the mounting tabs).
Install and properly torque retainer nuts to 12N/m (8.7lb/ft).
1.6L only: Remove the mounting bracket from the purge
joint and install on the stud closest to the pulsation damper.
Install and properly torque retainer nuts to 12N/m (8.7lb/ft).
Mount the purge joint back onto its mounting bracket.
14. Install the fuel line, sealing washers and pulsation damper in
the original configuration. Torque the pulsation damper to
22N/m (16lb/ft).
15. Connect the vacuum line and fuel hose to the fuel pressure
regulator.
1.6L only: Connect the vacuum hoses to the
EVAP purge control solenoid valve and purge joint.
16. Torque the banjo bolt on the fuel filter to 33N/m (25 lb/ft) and
reconnect the battery. Check to ensure all fittings are tight
and all hoses are properly routed and connected.
17. Turn the ignition switch on, but do not operate the starter.
After the fuel pump has run for approximately two seconds,
the fuel pressure in the fuel line will rise. Repeat this two or
three times, then check for any possible fuel leaks.
Torque specs:
• Mounting tabs and fuel PSI regulator and solenoid:
12N/m (8.7lb/ft)
• Fuel pulsation damper: 22N/m (16lb/ft)
NOTE: The smaller of the three O-rings is to be
used for the regulator adapter. Use a
small amount of clean engine oil to
lubricate the O-rings before installation.
NOTE: Do not remove the three composite
spacers located beneath the fuel rail
mounting tabs. These are required for
proper Vortech rail spacing.
NOTE: Make sure that the factory composite rail
spacers are in place on the studs before
installing the rail assembly down onto them.
