I just go done replacing my FPR. Haynes manual leaves a lot to be desired!
Checked for no pressure at the Schrader valve first. Took off the 2 10mm bolts that hold the fuel rail on to the intake manifold. Unplugged the injectors from the electric lines. Popped the aluminum cover off the fuel rail, that was not in the manual and made the job so much easier!
Then I unscrewed the fuel line hold down tab on the other side of the engine. Hanes said to unscrew the fuel lines from underneath the car - I skipped that part, too messy. So, the injectors wouldn't "pop" out when I tugged on the fuel rail. I rotated each one to release the grip on the bottom gasket, and out they came.
I unclipped the vacuum hose to the FPR and poped the fuel line clamp. Then rotated the entire assembly upside down. Two 10mm bolts hold down the FPR, be careful - there is a sleeve between the FPR and the rail. Do not drop it down the engine compartment! You may be cursing too much if you do.
Haynes now says installation is the reverse. Almost!
After the fuel line is reconnected, reconnect the vacuum line and make sure the vacuum line is routed inboard of the two manifold screws that hold down the the rail. I cleaned off the bottom of the injector nozzels, repositioned the injectors and gave them an easy push into place. Make sure the electrical connectors face in the proper direction. Secure the connectors and bolt down the 10mm screws for the rail. Put the 8mm hold down tab back where you found it. Clean off the cover and tap it back into position. All done.
Car starts every time!
Have fun,
Klaus
