fuel injector replacement
Read through this a couple times.

This is my first time. I bought two stock replacements, new not remanned. Only replacing 5 and 7 So no need for passenger side. Does that page cover it all? Anyone have any pointers from experience? Do's and dont's? Thanks

If you are only replacing five and seven.... just pull the four bolts that hold the rail in place, and then pry those two up out of the manifold, pull the clips that hold them in the rail, and the injectors will tug right out. Put some flavor of lube on the orings of the new ones, stick 'em in there, and bolt everything back down. Real easy.

you need to remove the fuel rail. And probably some lines for the throttle and cruise control.
Gas will get everywhere so make sure you have towels. Then let it air dry for about a few hours. Don't want to start a fire in your engine compartment by starting her up after you get the install done. Believe me, it can happen.

So I'm over the motor now. I just tried to vent the fuel rail with the nipple or whatever its called and noticed I really had no pressure behind it. There was a little fuel smell and barely any cam out. Is that a bad sign? I have a fuel pressure gauge but don't want the ol lady down here if i fired it up right now lol. I'm thinkin I should test my pressure before pulling objectors. It was just my last resort for those two cylinders misfiring. Everything has been checked. Fuel pressure was checked when this motor was put in. They said it was good. What should the bleed off rate be when i test it? Should the pressure be that low? It's been sitting for three or four hours but i assumed it would still have decent pressure at the rail.

And my symptoms, again-sorry for another thread but this was specifically for the fuel, are normal at cold start, then if I turn it off for any period of time under prob an hour or forty five minutes and start it I get a mis on five and seven and rough idle for about a minute then clears. Gas mileage is down to 6 now. But it only isles funky with those conditions.
