• Q: How to replace a fuel injector on 2005 Toyota Solara?

  A: As the first step to replace the fuel injector start by preventing gasoline loss then remove the air cleaner cap and attach air cleaner hose while simultaneously removing the engine cover sub-assy No.1. First disconnect the fuel tube sub-assy then extract the fuel delivery pipe with injector while maintaining continuous control to avoid dropping any injectors. First disconnect the 4 injector connectors before removing the ventilation hose No. 2 and disassembling the delivery pipe by removing its 2 clamps and wire harness. Remove the delivery pipe with its 4 injectors after completely removing the 2 bolts and set it aside. After that you can extract the 2 spacers from the cylinder head. Extract all four injectors from the delivery pipe after removing it. Place a new insulator on the injector then coat new O-rings with gas or grease before mounting them and use additional grease or gasoline on the O-ring area where the delivery pipe rests. The proper installation method for the fuel injector into the delivery pipe requires pushing it forward while twisting it clockwise and counter-clockwise motions but maintaining pressure on the O-ring. Perform a smoothness check on the injector right after installing it because non-smooth operation requires replacement with a new O-ring before repositioning the injector connector down. Set 2 spacers on the cylinder head while putting the 4-injector delivery pipe onto position before loosely tightening the bolts which secure the delivery pipe to the cylinder head. Ensure the injector operates without resistance after replacement. A new O-ring should be used if the injector hulls are not spinning freely. Position the 4 injector connectors to face outside while you tightly torque the 2 delivery pipe cylinder head retaining bolts to 20 N.m (204 kgf.cm or 15 ft.lbf). Then secure the 2 clamps and harness and link the 4 injector connectors before setting the ventilation hose Number 2. The process ends by connecting the fuel tube sub-assy while installing the air cleaner cap with its air cleaner hose then performing a leak inspection before inserting the engine cover sub-assy No. 1.
