Fuel Injection Pump: Removal
WARNING:
Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Clean all fuel residue from the engine compartment. If not removed, fuel residue may ignite when the engine is returned to operation. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery when working on an evaporative emission (EVAP) system or fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE:
Do not loosen any fittings or plugs on the fuel injection pump.
- 1.

- 3.NOTE: Use care when removing the fuel injection pump noise insulator. Spreading the openings will aid in removing the fuel injection pump noise insulator and reduce the risk of damage.
- 4.
Remove the ACL outlet pipe, for additional information, refer to Intake Air Distribution and Filtering .
- 5.
For additional information, refer to Fuel System General Information .
- 6.NOTE: To release the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel tube, wrap the fuel injection pump flare nut with a shop towel to absorb any residual fuel pressure during the loosening of the fuel injection pump flare nut.NOTE: Make sure that a new high pressure fuel tube is installed.
Discard the specified component. Follow local disposal regulations.
- 8.NOTE: Make sure that new fuel injection pump bolts are installed.
