• Q: How to service the fuel rail on 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: Service procedures on the Fuel Rail begin by pressurizing the fuel system before disconnecting the Battery Cable. You must remove both the air cleaner outlet resonator along with its vented mounting bracket. The electrical connectors connecting fuel injectors require disconnecting through a procedure of pressing wire clip sections while extracting connectors from Fuel Injector positions. The first process involves removing the three components including the fuel feed inlet pipe quick connect, fuel return pipe from the Fuel Pressure Regulator and the Fuel Rail attaching bolts in order to extract the Fuel Rail assembly from the Cylinder Head. Before installation apply clean engine oil to the Fuel Injector o-rings then put the Fuel Rail inside the Cylinder Head. Fasten the Fuel Rail attaching bolts at 24 n.m (18 lbs ft) torque diameter. Connect the fuel feed inlet pipe quick connect to its port and the fuel return pipe to the Fuel Pressure Regulator while tightening its attaching nut to 30 n.m (22 lb ft). Secure the Fuel Rail bracket by tightening its nut to 10 n.m and nut to 25 n.m and bolt to 25 n.m. To complete the procedure reconnect the negative Battery Cable while checking for fuel leaks through an observation period consisting of two seconds at on position, followed by ten seconds at off position then two seconds at on position to verify any leak occurrence.
