Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Crack a Couple of Injectors

[Jerky]

I think I know what the term "crack a couple of injectors" means just unsure on how to do it etc. Does this usually get fuel all over the engine? Do you just loosen the nut that the fuel line goes into or? Need some information on this subject.



Thanks - Dean

I crack 1 and 3. 1 being the closest to the radiator. You got it just loosen the big nut on the fuel line. It requires a 19 mm wrench and some fuel does leak on the head. It is for removing air from the system.

In other words, if you are just bleeding air out of the lines, do this by bumping the starter (turn key to start for . 10 seconds, then leave in the "on" position) and let the LP run it's cycle for 30ish seconds. I crack (much as I would for brake bleeding - not much) 1, 3, 4, 5, - cycle the pump, and watch for fuel to start gurgling. If you do this several times and no fuel, loosen the nuts about two or three turns, jiggle the fuel line, tighten the nuts until they touch, then back about a 1/4, then cycle the pump again.
