FUEL RAIL AND INJECTORS | REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION NOTE: The engines covered by this manual are Sequentially Fuel Injected (SFI). This means the electrical connectors for each injector should be tagged so that they can be installed in their exact original locations. This is extremely important. 1FZ-FE ENGINE (See Figures 32 thru 37) Like most multi-port fuel injected engines, the fuel injectors are mounted on a fuel rail (Toyota calls it a delivery pipe). On this engine, the fuel rail is hidden under the upper half of the intake manifold, which must be removed to access the injectors. At assembly, a new intake manifold gasket will be required. Use care when working around light alloy parts. Numerous hose connections must be detached. Identify and tag these hoses as required.

1. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
2. Drain the engine cooling system.
3. Remove the upper half of the intake manifold. For additional information, please refer to the following topic(s): Engine and Engine Overhaul, Intake Manifold.
4. Remove the 2 union bolts, gaskets and fuel inlet pipe.
