2006 Chevrolet Corvette Fuel Rail Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the fuel rail assembly on 2006 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The replacement process for a Fuel Rail assembly begins with disconnecting the negative Battery Cable. Open the engine sight covers and loosen the fuel system pressure. Compressed air should be used to clean the Fuel Injector and Intake Manifold system. Before disconnecting the electrical connectors it is necessary to mark the location of the Fuel Rail injector fitting along with the connection between the fuel feed line and Fuel Rail. You need to remove the bolts from the Intake Manifold while doing the same with the mounting bolts for the Fuel Rail. Extract the Fuel Rail assembly from the Intake Manifold followed by removing the fuel injectors from the Fuel Rail. To install the process begin by putting fuel injectors into the Fuel Rail where a minimal amount of clean motor oil should be applied to the o-rings. Install the Fuel Rail to the Intake Manifold while using 5 mm (0.020 in) of gm p/n 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) threadlock or equivalent on the Fuel Rail and Intake Manifold bolt threads. The intake mounting bolts need installation followed by the Fuel Rail stop bracket to guarantee safety measures. For the Fuel Rail mounting bolts installation begin with tightening to a torque of 10 n.m (89 lb in) after first closing the inlet manifold bolts to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Reconnect the electrical connectors which belong to the fuel injectors and guide them to their specific outlets before you install the fuel feed hose to the Fuel Rail. The repair ends with the restoration of the negative Battery Cable followed by leak inspection when the ignition switch remains on for two seconds followed by off for ten seconds and another on cycle before covering the engine sight. This procedure requires the fuel pressure gage (J 34730-1A) in addition to the tool set, fuel line quick connect separator (J 37088-A).
