Default How do you prime fuel injectors?

You know if you were to run them dry...or install new ones.

Why is it necessary?

I just replaced mine. Just stuck them in and turned on the ignition and let the fuel pump run a couple of seconds. Engine fired right up nice and smooth. :auto:

I imagine if there was that much air you could let the fuel pump pressurize the system, shut it off, then press the pin in on the pressure gauge connector on the end of the fuel rail to bleed the air.
