• Q: How to replace the fuel rail assembly on 2001 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: Note down the eight-digit identifer on the left-hand Fuel Rail which distributes flow to the even cylinders 2 4 and 6 before replacing the assembly. During installation adhere to the correct orientation of Fuel Injector o-rings by positioning the black one above and placing the brown one below despite their equal dimension. The rings use dissimilar materials. The service process requires fitting caps to all fuel fittings while also plugging fuel holes to prevent contamination of the fuel passages. After relieving system pressure you can start by taking off the upper Intake Manifold. Procedure requires the removal of o-rings from both engine fuel feed pipe at the Fuel Rail and engine fuel return pipe at the Fuel Pressure Regulator while disconnecting these objects at the Fuel Rail and Fuel Pressure Regulator. Start by disconnecting the main injector harness electrical connector at the fuel injectors using the lock release mechanism followed by pressing down the lock tab for disconnecting the connectors from the fuel injectors. You should disconnect the Fuel Rail injector electrical harness before removing the Fuel Rail retaining bolts that will enable you to extract the Fuel Rail assembly. Eliminate the injector o-ring from each Fuel Injector spray tip. The installation requires precise plugging of Fuel Rail ports to stop contamination and users must refrain from utilizing compressed air together with solvent baths due to potential damage. Drive the Fuel Rail assembly into the Intake Manifold while tilting it between the injectors before tightening its retaining bolts to 10 n.m (89 lb in). First connect the electrical connector of the Fuel Rail to its injector harness and the coolant temperature sensor before proceeding to join all injector connectors while setting the proper position of slide locks. The procedures for reinstalling the main injector harness electrical connector include fitting new o-rings onto the fuel feed pipe and fuel return pipe before connecting them to the Fuel Rail with a 17 n.m (13 lb ft) torque setting. Connect the fuel return pipe at the Fuel Pressure Regulator while wrenching the nut to 17 n.m (13 lb ft). Then resume connection of the negative Battery Cable. Prior to installing the upper Intake Manifold you need to perform a fuel leak inspection after turning the ignition on for 2 seconds followed by waiting 10 seconds for the ignition off state before repeating the initial process and monitoring for fluid drops.
