Q: How do you remove the fuel injectors and Fuel Rail on 2002 through 2008 Toyota Solara and 2002 through 2006 Toyota Avalon?
A: To remove the fuel injectors, start by relieving the fuel pressure and detaching the battery cable. Remove the PCV hose and, on V6 models with performance suspension, the suspension brace. For V6 models, remove the assembly retaining the Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV) control solenoids and the air intake plenum to access the rear fuel rail. Disconnect the fuel injector electrical connectors and the fuel lines from the fuel rail. Remove the fuel rail mounting bolts and carefully lift out the fuel rail with the injectors attached. Twist and pull the injectors to remove them from the fuel rail and store them in a labeled container. If reusing the injectors, replace the grommets and O-rings. To install the fuel injectors, reverse the removal process and tighten the fuel rail mounting bolts.
Q: How do you remove fuel injectors and fuel rail on 1997 through 2001 Toyota Avalon and 1997 through 2001 Toyota Solara?
A: To remove the fuel injectors, start by relieving the fuel pressure and detaching the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Then, remove the PCV hose and the assembly that retains the Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV) control solenoids on V6 models. Disconnect the fuel injector electrical connectors and fuel lines from the fuel rail, and remove the fuel rail mounting bolts. Finally, remove the fuel rail with the fuel injectors attached and the fuel injectors themselves. To install the fuel injectors, simply reverse the removal steps and tighten the fuel rail mounting bolts to the specified torque. If reusing the same injectors, replace the grommets and O-rings.
