I tackled the FPR this weekend. It’s not a terrible install, but not as easy as I would have liked it to be.
First that pesky STB, since its bolted to the cowl. :-\
Dirty, dirty, Dirty. It still has the dust from the paint job.
Target acquired!
Target eliminated!
So while preparing myself to do this, I realized that this FPR hasn’t been replaced since I’ve own the car (since 160K) so I’m going out on a limb and say it has the full 250,000 miles on it.
New FPR installed:
This was left over. I assume its for another rail cause it didn’t fit well and the books show nothing like it. The c clip is installed, which is all it had to begin with.
Here are the old and broken bits. I have no idea what purpose those plastic rings on the base of the injector serve but they are mostly gone now. I think 2 still have them attached.
And because Kris had his episode earlier this month, I decided to get new o-rings.
Here is the Felpro part number for the box of 4 rings, if you needed to know
So, new o-rings are installed and I somehow lost a injector retainer. if your looking for them at a parts house good luck. I, however, found them at Autozone. FYI it probably doesn’t come up if you’re looking for them by car and model.
So it’s all put back together and we will see if the hard starts are gone. Lets hope.
