Fuel Injection Pump Replacement
Removal Procedure

1. Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
   
2. Disconnect negative battery cables from both batteries.
3. Remove the air intake duct between the air cleaner and the turbocharger inlet housing. Important: Cover the air intake pipe end with duct tape to prevent the infiltration of dirt.
   
4. Drain the coolant. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling .
5. Remove the upper fan shroud. Refer to Engine Coolant Fan Upper Shroud Replacement in Engine Cooling.
6. Remove the fan blade assembly. Refer to Fan Replacement in Engine Cooling.
7. Remove the serpentine belt.
8. Remove the bolt holding positive battery cable junction box and bracket and move out of the way. Important: Remove only the air conditioning/power steering bracket. Do not discharge the A/C or remove the A/C and power steering lines.
   
9. Remove the A/C compressor. Refer to Air Conditioning Compressor Replacement in HVAC.
10. Remove the power steering pump. Refer to Power Steering Pump Replacement in Power Steering Systems.

20. Remove bolt holding wiring support bracket at thermostat housing.
21. Move the main wiring harness by disconnecting the following:

    •	The fuel pressure regulator connector on the fuel injection pump

    
    

    •	The fuel injection control module connectors

22. Flip the wire harness and harness tray towards the back and set aside.
23. Disconnect the heater pipe bolt and temperature sensor wire from the thermostat housing.
24. Remove the air intake pipe. Refer to Air Intake Pipe Replacement .
25. Remove the water crossover assembly. Refer to Thermostat Housing Crossover Replacement in Engine Cooling.
26. Remove the hose to the turbo water feed line. Refer to Turbocharger Coolant Hoses/Pipes Replacement in Engine Cooling. Important: Cap all of the open fuel connections with suitable plastic plugs in order to prevent infiltration of dirt.
    
27. Disconnect all high pressure fuel lines and remove supply pipe and hose at the fuel injection pump and function block. Refer to Metal Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service .
    
    
    
28. Remove the supply hose from the fuel injection pump.
29. Remove the fuel return hose from the fuel injection pump.
30. Remove the high pressure line from the injection pump to the junction block. Important: Be careful not to damage any mating surfaces.
    
31. Remove fuel injection pump from the block using two screwdrivers to work the pump from the block towards rear of engine keeping the pump straight.
    
    
32. Remove fuel injection pump.

Preparing Fuel Pump

2. Hold the fuel pump by the drive gear in a vice with copper jaw liners.
3. Loosen the gear nut until the nut is even with the end of the gear shaft.
4. Remove the gear from the tapered shaft of the pump.
5. Separate the pump and adapter by removing the three bolts and spacers.
6. Inspect the O-ring for damage on pump adapter and replace, if necessary. Lubricate the O-ring with clean engine oil.
7. Clean all mating surfaces.
8. Install the adapter on the pump. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
   
9. Using the three bolts and spacers, reassemble the pump. Tighten
   Tighten the bolts to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).
10. Install the gear and nut. Tighten
    Tighten nut to 70 N·m (52 lb ft).
