Just got done pulling plenum and fuel rail, [never done it before]. Have new injectors mounted in rail. I pretty much followed Mark Haibecks dvd.
Surprized to find 1/4" bolt that holds electrical connector to the back of the ignition module was only finger tight. Surprized area under plenum was as dirty as it was for a car with only 10 thou. original miles. Bumbed that even after being real patient and careful, two injectors pulled out of the bottom of the fuel rail while trying to take off of engine, [minor gas spill in valley]. Those 2 injectors were incredible tight in the housing. Putting it all back together tommorow, have to take wife out to supper now, and watch the NFL draft tonight. Overall, plenum pull is not that intimidating, changing CCM 5 years ago was way more involved. Only consern now is getting that electrical connection with the 1/4" bolt on correctly and tight. |

Id just get a 1/4 ratchet and extension and if you can tap the socket to the extension to help it "stay put" other than that its not to bad

Using rebuilt injectors from Fuel Injector Connection, mainly its a cost thing right now, [twins, seniors in college]. Next year at this time money won't be near as big an issue. Jon at F.I.C. has been great to work with. Thier Customer service is the best if needed. Going to pressurize the fuel rail and injectors to check for leaks and drips before putting the plenum back on. |

902066 - please let us know how the FICS work out - I'm now down to FIC and Accel as my choice. Do you know exactly what "rebuilt" means? I had assumed injectors were not a rebuildable item.
Yeah - I've got a set of twins myself - they are more $ to maintain the the ZR-1 for sure. |
