fuel rail removal

[99camaropkg]

i have searched but to no avail. Can anyone tell me or help me figure out out to unhook the fuel rails on a 99 3.8. I cant figure out how to unhook the actual fuel linesnor can i unhook the elctrical connections to the injectors. Please a step by step or pictures would be great. Thanks for the help.

There's a metal clip that holds the connector on each of the injectors. Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully twist it off.

To remove the fuel line you'll have to get a special tool from the auto parts store. Only a few bucks and it's easy to use.

^^^^ what he said and also it is handy to have a extending magnet since those clips on the injectors like to fly off

How did this go for you? It is pretty easy for the most part, after you have disconnected the power plugs to the injectors their should be 4 screws holding the fuel rail to the motor (also I would suggest removing the cap on your gas tank to remove the pressure in the fuel rail...I got a nice shot of 89 to the eye for my absent minded mistake). Just lift up with some wiggling and all 6 should pop right out with the rail. Most motors get alot of foliage up there so I would also suggest plugging the holes with something temporarily to keep anything from falling down into the ports. After that install is a breeze, just pop the new injectors into the fuel rail and don't forget to put some new o-rings on their and a dabble of some motor oil. Good luck dude
