First pull off the FRC's. Next you need
relieve the pressure in the rail.
Unscrew the Schrader valve cap located
at the front end of the driver's side
fuel
rail.
It's similar to a tire valve so you can
relieve the pressure in the same
fashion.
Using a small screwdriver or other
appropriate tool, hold a rag over the
valve while pushing in on the pin to
relieve the
fuel
pressure. Be careful to protect your
face from spraying
fuel. If
the car has been sitting for a couple of
hours or more, the pressure will most
likely be quite low.
Next, you'll need a
fuel line
disconnect tool similar to this one.
Arrange a rag to catch gasoline spillage
around the
fuel
line before attempting removal. Place
the disconnect tool over the line and
push the prongs into the
fuel line
connector while pulling back on the
braided line to pull it away from the
tube. You'll need to do this twice if
you have a '97 or '98 since there are
two
fuel
lines connected to the
fuel rail
assembly.
I keep an assortment of cap plugs handy
to cap off
fuel,
brake, coolant and other lines.
Now, remove the injector electrical
connectors by pushing in on the metal
wire clip and pulling up on the
connector simultaneously.
Then remove the four studded
fuel rail
screws with a deepwell 10 mm socket.
Using an 8 mm socket, loosen the intake
manifold screw with the grounding strap
on the passenger side so you can move it
out of the rail's path when you're ready
to remove it.
Make sure all wiring harnesses and other
obstructions are clear and pull up on
the fuel
rail assembly from both sides
simultaneously. The
injectors
will pop out of the manifold. It may
take some force so be careful and apply
leverage judiciously.

The entire assembly with the
injectors
should come out as a unit. Here it is
upside-down on the bench.

To remove the
injectors, pull the retaining
clip out and pull the injector out of
the cup. It will require a bit of force
as it's held in with an o-ring. Some
fuel will
probably spill out as you remove it as
well so be ready with a rag.

Here's a side-by-side comparison of a
stock '02 28 lb./hr. injector and the
FMS injector.

A picture of one the injector ports in
the manifold.

Make sure the cup is clean and free of
debris.

Lubricate the injector o-ring with a
small amount of fresh motor oil and
firmly push the top straight into the
cup until it seats. Then slide the
retaining clip on until it snaps into
place.
Be sure the clip has captured the lip of
the cup so the injector can't pop out of
the rail..

For future reference, I marked the stock
injectors


Install the remainder of the
injectors
Place the rail assembly carefully in
place over the manifold, making sure
each injector is sitting inside it's
manifold port, and firmly push down on
the rails to seat each injector. They
should pop in solidly. You can tell if
they are all seated by using a
flashlight to inspect the ports. Also,
the rail brackets should be completely
seated on the manifold. Replace the
screws and torque them to 89 in. lbs.
Reconnect the injector connectors by
snapping them down onto the
injectors
and replace the
fuel line(s).

Double-check all connections. Put the
key in the ignition and turn it to the
ON position but don't start the engine.
You should hear the
fuel pump
pressurize the system. Check for any
sign of leaks in the engine bay.

Before going any further, most folks
will need to scale the injector
fuel flow
increase these
injectors provide. I didn't in my
case because I was already running quite
lean. When I scanned the car after the
install, the
fuel trims looked much better.
They were now in the range where I would
need to make smaller adjustments.
