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

  A: Service of the Fuel Rail starts by looking at the left-hand Fuel Rail which serves even cylinders 2, 4, and 6. The Fuel Rail carries an eight-digit identification number stamped on the left side. Installation of fuel injector o-rings requires correct placement where black o-rings should be at the top position while brown o-rings go into the lower position. Service procedures require that fuel passages remain free from dirt and contaminants by installing fitting caps together with plastic plugs into the holes. You must first reduce pressure from the fuel system before removing the upper Intake Manifold. Disconnect the fuel pipe that supplies engine fuel to the rail while also detaching the fuel return pipe connected to the Fuel Pressure Regulator. First disconnect the main injector harness electrical connector along with pulling up the lock release then depressing the lock tab before lifting the connector off the injector. At the same time discard the fuel feed pipe and fuel return pipe o-rings. First tighten the Fuel Rail assembly by removing its retaining bolts but before doing so you must disconnect the coolant temperature sensor electrical connector and injector electrical harness from the Fuel Rail along with removing the Fuel Rail retaining bolts. Detach the injector o-ring seal that exists at the spray tip end of each injector. Follow this procedure when installing the Fuel Rail assembly by tilting it first before installing the injectors then secure with Fuel Rail attaching bolts that need to be tightened to 10 n.m (7 lb ft). Synchronize the Fuel Rail by connecting the coolant temperature sensor electrical connector followed by installing the injector electrical harness and finalizing with attaching the injector connectors and pushing slide locks into their position. After installing new o-rings on the fuel feed pipe and fuel return pipe, the main injector harness electrical connector should be connected while the fuel feed pipe at the Fuel Rail needs tightening to 17 n.m (13 lb ft). Attach the fuel feed pipe to the Fuel Pressure Regulator while torquing its nut to 17 n.m (13 lb ft). Then reposition the upper Intake Manifold. The inspection for fuel leaks should begin with turning the ignition on for 2 seconds followed by a 10-second off period then a reengage of the on state to check if any leaks occur.
