Removing the injectors advice

[JMF894]

Hi chaps i am considering having my injectors cleaned and was wondering if there was any good advice i need before attempting to remove them? Do they come out fairly easily?

Cheers

Remove plenum top
Remove injector retaining clips
Remove fuel rail bolts/nuts
Pull up just enough to pop the injectors out

I'm sure it can't be much different to a Chim

^ this, it's easy and made to be cause they're supposed to be servicable easily.

Also speak to hatter, as he just got his serviced, and was very happy with the results.

Depressurise the fuel rail first.

Nugget question................how?

Run it up and starve it of fuel?

That's how i always did it, start the car, pull the fuel relay and wait till it dies.

It not that high pressure, just loosen the hose on the cold start injector, and wiggle it with a rag round it till it spurts some out, better than running your engine lean.

The later ones have a tyre style valve to de-pressure them, but I've just pulled them off with a rag, your always going to get some fuel spilt no matter how you do it.

Oh, just to add get some 6 and 8mm bolts to put one that fits in the hose and then re-tighten the clip/ to stop the flow from the pump.

If the car has not been started for an hour or two then there will probably be no pressure in the rail anyway. Rag over the pipe after undoing the clip will do.
