Re: Fuel Injector Removal (ROCKY85)
You hafta unhook all the vacuum lines to the plenum/TB, remove it, Remove the runners, (easier to do with valve covers off), then you can unhook the injector harness from each injector, then unbolt the fuel rail and the injectors will come out with it. Expect 2+ hours for disassembly if you haven't done it before. Just take your time and keep those bolts organized!
And DEFINITELY stuff the intake holes with rags, AND tape them over, AS SOON as you pull the runners!
You should replace all the fuel orings while you're in there (use the tan ones) and you might also consider getting all 8 injectors cleaned/flow matched.
try Rich@cruzinperformance.com , friendly and fast service, good prices. There's also a 'quick fix' injector cleaner that hooks up to the schrader valve on the fuel rail. I dunno if that'll solve your problem or damage the injectors more, but it's worth considering.
I noticed you have an '85... you also have a cold start injector in the middle on the drivers side that is tricky to fish out of there. You'll should remove that before pulling the runners on that side.
If you forget where the connectors go, ask sspackman. He should have em all memorized by now. :lol:
