- If you want to increase horsepower and torque on your LS3 equipped car or you simply need to change your fuel injectors for some other reason, such as them being defective, then this video will demonstrate how to correctly remove the fuel rail, replace the injectors and re-install so that your car runs correctly. Note that this procedure will either be easy or hard depending on whether or not you have the tools mentioned in this video and follow the procedure carefully.
Swear this is the only video on TH-cam 😂 this in depth
When I feel like I've used enough words... I use some more! lol
Extremely in depth D.I.Y. video man! Thanks for this!
No problem. Any day I can get bloody knuckles and help others is a good day.
Super late to this party, but damn you saved me on those child proof injector harness. Why GM engineers, WHY!?!?!
I imagine they found an outlet for their workplace frustrations by engineering elaborate ways to screw with us.
My next step…thanks for video 🔥✌️
Going to install some ID850 injectors today, this video is just what I needed. Thank you!
I almost bought those. Went with DW instead because they were cheaper but ID is a good product. Hope this vid helps you.
Thank you for this detailed video! 👍
Thank you for the DIY removal and re-installation of the EFI on LS3... Same process could be used for LS2 C6. I been getting multiple miss fires only on even cylinders for LS2.
Hold one one sec *puts phone in mouth to go hands on* hahaha amazing vid brotha
Thanks again for this video, could have never done it without your help
We're all in this together bro.
Thanks for sharing. I had to watch at a play back speed of 1.75x.
Good video, looking to see what I did wrong earlier today.
This is good basic instruction for many different fuel rails, the ones for me today were from a 2002 truck.
Couple of things I would add: lots of care taking off any hold down nut, some of the studs they fasten to are integral to/cast into the manifold and seem soft with corners that round to easily IMO (be sure socket is fully engaged on all sides, not tilted). Those "Christmas tree" hold downs most bundles of wiring have don't have to be pried out, they are hinged on one side and the other side a smaller flat blade screw driver pushes a tab or twists a tab apart and then it hinges open
You raised some important points. Thanks for contributing to the knowledge base for this topic. You learn a lot doing it yourself vs just reading about it so it's good to share the lessons learned.
If you are just replacing a bad injector with another stock one, do you still need to tune?
No tune is necessary. In fact the car still running with the bad one demonstrates somewhat how much tolerance there is on the tuning. With a new injector it will run optimally again.
I put longtube headers and a k&n air filter on my Camaro and now I'm getting a lean code p0171 and p0174.
Should I get the 60 lbs fuel injectors?
I'm also installing a new intake manifold. Hope this may fix my vacuum leak.
Any thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
I think the vacuum leak is on your headers. Your forward O2 sensor is reporting a lean condition so check the header seal to the exhaust ports.
Anyone know of a video on changing fuel pump?
So I have to do this as well on my 2014 2ss and I was wondering do you have to throw a tune on it if I'm just replacing the OEM injectors with new OEM injectors I wouldn't suspect I would have to but I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask thanks
If it's part number for part number then technically no, the existing tune will be fine. However if the old injectors were clogged or not working as well you'll notice a slight difference in the tune anyway. Not enough to cause driveability problems though.
Where are the 8mm and 10mm nuts located
Hey ik u made this video a while ago but I’m getting a po201 cylinder 1 injector circuit open. I had a misfire on 1,2,3 added all new spark plugs the misfire code went away but no I have this po201 code will replacing my injector on cylinders 1 solve my problem ?
It might but it could also be the wire going back to the coil. You could try swapping the number 1 injector with one of the other ones and if the problem follows the injector then you know it's a bad injector. Otherwise it's the wiring.
@@ChrisCamaro how would I test the wiring is there somthing I should be looking for im currently trying to use a screwdriver to see if my injector is bad
If you swap the number 1 with any other injector and start getting misfires on the new injector then it's a bad injector. If you still get problems on the number 1 cylinder after the swap, then you could test the wire by disconnecting both ends from the injector and the coil and using a multimeter in continuity mode but this isn't 100% reliable, as the break might be intermittent. Only way to know for sure is to buy a new wire and swap it also. If the wire is expensive you could try to use some lamp chord or some other wire you might have laying around of similar gauge just for testing purposes but doing component swaps is the best way. If you still can't isolate the problem it could be the coil pack itself but the same logic applies of swapping parts until the problem moves from one cylinder to another.@@dfgnoonie4
@@ChrisCamaro thanks man swapped the injector out with a new one and all seems to be running well might say a little smoother than before this problem happened
Did you have any issues with the intake manifold? I noticed that the bolts holding the fuel rail bracket (8mm) are for the intake manifold ?
The manifold is held down by several bolts and I don't believe the fuel rail bolt contributes to that but in the event that it did, it's still not enough to affect the clamping force on the manifold to produce a leak. I didn't have any problems with my manifold. I had lots of problems with the fuel rail and injectors but that's normal because they are stubborn and access is limited.
Bro awesome video helped out a lot but the moaning and breathing at 19:00😂
It was just as awkward for me as I'm sure it was for you lol.
Please question:
I have leaking injectors
I will change the fuel injectors in my 2018 Camaro SS to OEM replacement part.
I mean the same fuel flow.
Do i have to update the ECU
Part number: 12692522
Note: i did mistake by adding STP fuel cleaner 2 times, and make leaking injectors.
Any time you change the specifications of the fuel injectors you need to update the ECU because the ECU is calibrated to the flow characteristics of the injectors which are very specific to the exact model.
@@ChrisCamaro So if putting exact oem injectors, is it advisable to relearn the ecu?
@@kalani1987 If the part number is exactly the same then you do not need reprogramming. The new injectors may be "cleaner" and therefore flow better but if the computer runs with dirty injectors, it will run with clean ones.
@@kalani1987 No, I wouldn't touch it. There's no need. Normal performance tuning is best achieved through the fuel maps like the VE and MAF tables. Changing the injector parameters is not a good idea if they are the same design. Those parameters are supposed to remain fixed while the tables drift around.
trying to figure if the 2013 is still SMPI or DI Injection. Anyone know? Looking at a 2013 for purchase. The clear white stuff is siliconized lubrication paste. Grease is not right and OIL is an absolute no no.
Are you asking about the 2013 Camaro engine? The LS3 is not direct inject. That's the newer gen 6 LT1 that has that.
@@ChrisCamaro Yes and Thank You. I thought the LT1 DI engine came out in 2014 but wasn't sure.
@@anonimous2451 Yeah no problem. Basically starting 2014 the camaro went through a facelift called "mid cycle enhancement" that lasted for 2 years but had the same mechanicals under the hood and then starting in 2016 you have the generation 6 which was a completely different car. Basically a Cadillac ATS with different body panels on it and an LT1 (DI engine) instead of the LS3 (Port injection). Personally I like the 2010-2013 era, as I think it was the most authentic reproduction of the Camaro for the older crowd. The later "improvements" seem to cater more to a younger audience and has less in common with the Camaro heritage.
Could you pour the fuel that came out of the Schrader valve back into the fuel tank?
I see no reason why not. The only thing you would need to be careful of is water or dirt contamination. If you keep the fuel clean, there's no problem putting it back in your tank.
The amount of fuel that come out of the pressure relief valve is nominal. It's not really worth the effort to try to salvage . However there is much more that is in the injector rails which will pour out; however it adds up to maybe a couple ounces.
@@philc481 Just enough to set the garage on fire :D
How hard was it to put your fuel rail back on
A heck of a lot easier than taking them out. To put them back on, if you push too hard they simply go in and bottom out. Pulling them on the other hand can cause injury or broken components so it's much harder to do properly. I got lucky though and it wasn't that bad. Getting the injectors out on the other hand... what a chore that was.
Hey do you know the name of the tool to disconnect the coupling?
Do you mean the "fuel line disconnect tool" ?
@@ChrisCamaro yes is that what it’s called just wanted to have the name going to the part store
@@dominiqueking2684 It's one of those things that has a complicated name and therefore no real official name. Anything close to this and you'll find what you're looking for though. They sell them at Canadian Tire... err... at least that's where you'd get it in Canada.
Do you have a link to the injectors
Not a link but here's the part number: 16U-00-0050-8
50lb (550cc) Fuel Injectors
Did you feel any power gain
Just changing the injectors won't increase power. What it does is enable you increase power from mods that require more fuel. If you supercharge for example, you will need more fuel to get that extra boost so in that sense the injectors allow you to achieve that extra power.
Will camaro injectors fit a pontiac g8?
Some models of the G8 did have LS3 engines so if yours was one of the SS or GXP models that did, then yes, the injectors would be the same as the Camaro SS.
What injectors did you go with
The P/N: 16U-00-0050-8 is a 50 lb, 550cc fuel injector and should be good up to the limit of the fuel pump. Often people will go wayyy bigger than this but I think it's a bad idea. The computer is digital and applies a fixed range to the available pulse widths that the injector can achieve. If you have huge injectors, the range is huge but the individual steps are also huge so you have "course" resolution over your air to fuel ratio. In my opinion you want the smallest injectors you can get that will give you the max horsepower you are going for at 90% duty. Any more than that and you are unnecessarily throwing away tuning resolution in your fuel map.
@@ChrisCamaro appreciate it
Anyone know if this would be covered under the powertrain?
I think it would depend on what sort of warranty service you were looking for. If one of the new injectors hydrolocked and blew up the engine or even if 1 simply failed, that would be directly related to the swapped component so I don't think GM would cover it. If you had a problem like... say...rod knock on one of the rods, I can't imagine why they wouldn't fix it because of an injector swap. Then again, there's always a way to make an argument that the stuff you've done to your car indirectly caused a problem, such as extra fuel causing incorrect AFR, causing detonation, causing shock loads to your pistons, causing a rod to get damaged... this is the sort of BS that you may expect if you start swapping stuff.
How do I tell if it’s more than one fuel injector?
? More than one fuel injector... gone bad?
@@ChrisCamaro yes like if it’s all 6 fuel injectors or not
@@rodneysmith3591 When you do a scan of the car while it's running, there's a PID for each cylinder that counts misfires. Therefore you can track the misfires per cylinder to determine of 1 or more cylinders are misfiring excessively. While misfires could be caused by more than 1 thing, if your plugs are known to be good (or if you replace them anyway since they're cheap) and your closed loop fuel system is properly balancing your AFR, then the injectors would be the next likely culprit so you could either run some injector cleaner though the gas and see if the misfire goes away or pull the fuel rail and inspect the injectors on the misfiring cylinders. However I would argue if you've gotten tot he point where you've pulled the fuel rail, you might as well just put all new injectors in since it's not worth the hassle of doing the job only to do it again later when another one goes.
@@ChrisCamaro ok I’m bouta just have somebody do it for me I need a o2 sensor 2 bank 2 but I’ll just wait on that and do fuel injectors for now
Was good info then….!!! Why start hacking stuff. Get the right tool.
U breathing right in mic
Don't worry. I don't have the coronavirus. The mic will be ok.
@@ChrisCamaro 🤣🤣🤣🤣
