• Q: How to service and repair the fuel injector on 2000 Toyota Celica?

  A: The fuel injector servicing starts by taking out the No.2 cylinder head cover together with the PCV hose followed by disconnecting the fuel tube through removing its clamp then disconnecting the connector from the fuel pipe while being careful about fuel line pressure causing splashing. After disconnecting the 4 injector connectors you can remove the 3 bolts which release the delivery pipe with its integrated fuel pipe as well as 4 injectors. Finally pull out the 4 injectors then remove their O-ring and grommets from each. The installation process includes placing the grommet on each injector followed by applying a thin coat of spindle oil or gasoline to the new O-ring before installation while at the same time applying a light coat of oil to the delivery pipe O-ring area. Proceed with the 4 injector installation by rotating them into delivery pipes with the injector connections facing outside then place the 2 spacers onto the cylinder head before coating the cylinder head-to-injector O-ring interface with spindle oil or gasoline. Next install the delivery pipe and fuel pipe attached to four injectors onto the cylinder head while using minimal torque on two delivery pipe bolts and a fuel pipe bolt. After verification of the smooth injector rotation, swap O-rings that were incorrectly set. The procedure concludes by tightening the delivery pipe bolts to 19 Nm (190 kg.cm, 14 ft.lb) torque and fuel pipe bolt to 9 Nm (92 kg.cm, 7 ft.lb) torque. Then connect the fuel tube to the fuel pipe before installing the fuel pipe clamp and replacing the No.2 cylinder head cover.
