Fuel Meter Body: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
1. Negative battery cable.
2. Relieve fuel system pressure. (Refer to "Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure".)
3. Air cleaner assembly.
4. Electrical connectors to injectors. (Squeeze plastic tabs and pull straight up.)
5. Fuel meter cover (3) and fuel injectors (10).
6. Fuel feed and return lines.
7. Fuel line 0-rings (30, 37) and discard.
IMPORTANT:

INSTALLATION
1. New throttle body to fuel meter body gasket (22).
- Match cut-out portions in gasket with openings in throttle body.
2. Fuel meter body assembly (21) on throttle body assembly.
IMPORTANT:
- The hardware used to attach the fuel meter body assembly is factory coated with thread locking adhesive. If the fuel meter body assembly is removed for service, inspect the attaching hardware screw threads for thread locking material. If there is not enough thread-locking material (adhesive or compound) on the threads to insure proper relocking, clean the screw threads and apply Loctite 262 or equivalent to the screw threads before reassembly.
3. Fuel meter body-to-throttle body attaching screws (20).

- Outlet nut to 29.0 Nm (21 lb.ft.).
5. New 0-rings (30, 37) on fuel feed and return lines.
6. Fuel lines.

7. Fuel injectors (10) and fuel meter cover (3).
8. Electrical connectors to injectors.
9. Tighten fuel filler cap.
10. Negative battery cable.
