• Q: How to Service and Repair a Fuel Injector on 2000 Toyota Tundra?

  A: The first step of servicing and repairing the fuel injector demands air cleaner hose detachment followed by removal of intake air connector and fuel pressure regulator along with unleashing the fuel inlet pipe while securing spilled fuel inside a collection container. First disconnect the fuel pipe while unconnecting the injector connectors as you remove the delivery pipes and injectors by keeping them from dropping. Start by removing four bolts connected to delivery pipes with six injectors. After removing the bolts, continue with delivery pipe and injector removal. Separate each intake manifold spacer followed by pulling off delivery pipe injectors before extracting all two O-rings with two grommets from each injector. Installation of the injectors as well as delivery pipes starts with placing new insulators on each injector followed by light applications of spindle oil or gasoline to the 2 new O-rings before putting them on each injector. The installation of the delivery pipes requires the injector to be inserted while turning it clockwise and counterclockwise before placing 6 injectors in position with the connector facing outward. Install 4 spacers to the intake manifold first before you place delivery pipes which contain their 6 injectors on the manifold and tighten them with temporary bolts. When the injectors fail to rotate easily use new O-rings to replace them. After connecting the injector connectors you need to install the fuel pipe with new gaskets and the 2 union bolts need to be tightened to 34.3 Nm (350 kg.cm, 25 ft.lb) then tighten the 4 bolts holding the delivery pipes to the intake manifold to 13 Nm (130 kg.cm, 10 ft.lb). The fuel inlet pipe installation requires attaching the union and two new gaskets first before securing the clamp bolt to 8 Nm (80 kg.cm, 71 in.lb) while tightening the union bolt to 34.3 Nm (350 kg.cm, 25 ft.lb). After installing the fuel pressure regulator you must carefully check the air assist lines and connections for loose components and damage as well as sharp bends before mounting the intake air connector and air cleaner hose with additional leak tests for the system.
