Removal Procedure

    CAUTION:
    • Remove the fuel rail assembly carefully in order to prevent damage to the injector electrical connector terminals and the injector spray tips. Support the fuel rail after the fuel rail is removed in order to avoid damaging the fuel rail components.
    • Cap the fittings and plug the holes when servicing the fuel system in order to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering open pipes and passages.
  1. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief (With CH 48027)  or Fuel Pressure Relief (Without CH 48027) .
  2. Remove the front and rear section of the supercharger inlet duct assembly. Refer to Supercharger Inlet Duct Assembly Replacement .
  3. WARNING: Wear safety glasses when using compressed air in order to prevent eye injury.
  4. Clean the fuel rail and injector ports on the supercharger with compressed air.

  6. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the following sensors:
    • The supercharger inlet absolute pressure (SCIAP) sensor (1)
    • The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor (2)
    • The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor (3)
  7. Disconnect the vacuum lines from the MAP and SCIAP sensors.
  8. Remove the SCIAP, BARO and MAP sensors with the bracket.
