Thank you Christian and to your father for taking the time in making this video. I have a '05 F150 Lariat with misfire/hesitation issues and your video made the process of removing my injectors much easier. Thanks again
Oh man. I was about to tell you that! I took it to get done instead because I didn't want to risk it. It cost us 200 dollars to get it fixed by a ford tech
I decided to do it on my own because I knew most if not all the plugs were going to break and the dealer was going to charge me an arm and a leg to replace them. Unfortunately I waited until 128000 miles to replace them. My next door neighbor is a mechanic and one of his good friends is a Ford mechanic so if I run unto any major problems I know I'll be in good hands.
That's quite a bit of mileage ha ha. If i'm not mistaken we replaced the trucks spark plugs at 90,00. We took it to a friend that was a ford technician and he managed to take them out without breaking any. I think at 128,000 it would be impossible to not break any.
Thank you. I really appreciate you guys taking time out of your busy days, to make a very thorough walk-through. It was very informative. I especially appreciate the attention to detail. You guys are awesome.
Christian, first of all your dad rocks! I am 43 and still learn things from my dad everyday. Great video and detailed explanation of how everything comes apart, instead of just saying "take this off". I don't know if this is my problem, but at least I know how to tackle it. Thank you and please tell your dad thanks as well!
I'm trying to fix a ford ranger that is leaking oil from the back of the intake manifold and everything was coming apart nicely until I got to the fuel rail. This video helped me out a lot because everywhere else I read said things like "step 3: disconnect fuel line, step 4: remove fuel rail". Didn't actually say HOW to do it like you explained in your video so I appreciate the info.
Both of the gaskets between the heads and intake manifold were split in half and the rubber seal in the back was pushed out, but the thing that surprised me was that the 8 bolts that hold the intake to the block were only finger tight. Didn't even need tools to remove them, it was crazy.
Wow. That is not good! I ask because the F-150 in the video has a small oil leak as well but its toward the front of the engine and we are tight on time so we haven't has time to check it out. We might do a video when we get to it.
Great video with excellent detail. I'm working on a different vehicle, but your dad's message seems to be "Take the time to get everything out of the way first and your life will be easier!" Your dad is awesome! Thanks for making and posting! I do think that a previous poster's idea of using an ultrasonic cleaner is a good idea.
Ill see what I can do on getting one. Maybe make a tutorial on how to use it! He takes things slow and like to work clean so that is definitely his message. Thanks for watching.
D Berry Baxter I have a 1999 f150 I had that problem up until today. actually I had to get the ignition coils changed it runs smoothly but I still think I need the fuel injectors changed or cleaned the check engine light is still on though. I hear now it's good to get the coils changed along with a tune up unfortunately I didn't do it that way though .
The video was very informative and East to understand, I just wanted to ask. Is the process the same for a 2015 f150 3.5l ecoboost or would it happen to be a different?
I'll be working on my fuel injectors today and this video was a nice overview. I think my #8 injector has a leak at the connection to the fuel rail. Do all injectors have an o-ring that seals it to the rail?
good video but it do not help my injectors on my 93 f150 does not spray. fuel pressure good current to the injectors but my question is what pulses the injectors?
Rony Etienne Hello, I believe the F150 injectors are controlled by computer but the computer uses the data from other sensors to decide when and how long to pulse the injector. You should check your other sensors such as the air to fuel ratio sensor or the crank shaft position sensor. If there is a ford tech reading the comments. feel free to leave a reply in regards to the question. :) EDIT: I didn't fully read the question. I would test and make sure the injector is working first. They are 12v so you can connect them to the battery voltage for a very short period of time. If you hear them click then they are working.
8 ปีที่แล้ว
You need to make sure you're getting the 12 volt pulse from the engine management computer.... check the leads (wires) that clip to the injectors and make sure you're getting a signal. Second, check the resistance on the injector... should be 8-11 ohms.... if it's out, the injector won't open and let the fuel through, whether it's getting a signal or not.
nice. i have a 93 ford van E250 i starting engine runing but when i push the gas pedal turn off the engine. fuel pum is ok,sparkplus r ok, fuel are ok. my question is if can be the injectors or the throttle sensor? ?? please if you can help me with this?
Good video gives you a look what your getting yourself into. Remember disconnect the battery first before you start. Don't be like me and leave mine connected and well let's say got a new truck after mine burnt to the ground. Just kidding:)
Baxter DeBerry it's you injection coils I had the same problem it drives good at 70 but when stopped it shakes and when you pulling off it drives badly unfortunately I wasn't able to get the spark plugs changed at the same time because I didn't knw that that was the best way to do it change the coils with the spark plugs. But it drives better know just gotta get my fuel injectors changed or cleaned its still a pain for me right now . Lol
Zonekiller24 ford has a special way of holding certain lines. I know you need them for replacing the fuel filter. I got them at AutoZone for like 2 bucks and it came with a bunch sizes. I don’t know the name of the tool though 🤷♂️
what year f150 is this?, I have a 98 4.6L, and it was sitting for a year due to family issues and pump, starter went out... we got it running finally but now it runs rought.. we ran seafoam in it, and lucas, although that helped it didn't fix the issue.. its driveable but everytime you give it a little gas it shakes.. even on the road.., weve been able to drive it at 70 no issues..
You guys are awesome; excellent video presentation, pictures and sound. Thanks Papa, good job. I wonder if hot melt glue would have worked for sealing the red straw tube into the syringe.
Good jod, so I can do my expedition, looks like the same motor, just should have pulled the fuel pump relay and ran the fuel lines dry first or released the fuel pump inertia switch. Very good video
Yes! Release pressure and let sit for a day because mystified gas is extremely flammable. As stated in another comment, it's a great idea to have a fire extinguisher handy and never throw water onto a gas flame.
I did this process and changed my sparkplugs while at it .at first it was runing good and than it started hessitating running a little rough.any advice on what i may have done wrong or what can i. Double check?any answers are greatly appreciated .idid this because i just replaced both catalyctic converters and i dont want to ruin these aswell
Cleaning injector this way is useless, pressure from the spray is nothing compare to 40/50Psi from fuel pump. Reverse cleaning is same, potential particles on injector can’t escape because they are trapped in µ-filter basket so they will come back to spray nozzle. First, remove injector’s µ-filter basket, then clean the injector while they are operating with small ultrasonic cleaning machine. Put new filter basket and o rings and then your good to go. If you don’t do that, you spend time cleaning injector for no gain. µ-filter baskets are cheap and easy to find on eBay, as well as a small ultrasonic cleaning machine. Then you will come back to original performances and improve MPG
Great video! Did you replace all of the o-rings? Reason I ask is I noticed the rail and manifold o-rings are different. The rail side (blue) are slightly thicker in all dimensions. If so, where did you find the correct o-rings? I think most of the kits sold online and from ford are one size and I believe are only the rail side rings. Thanks
We did not replace any o-rings. Just like you said, the rings do seem to be of a different thickness. As far as finding a kit, your better off asking a Ford technician. They may just sell you the kit cheaper than buying it online.
Okay. I just went ahead and replaced the rail side o-rings since those are the only ones I was able to purchase. I went as far as calling a ford parts seller and they said the parts fiche actually calls out the same part number for top and bottom. So they did not know. Maybe an actual technician would know where to find them. But, like you said, they are definitely different sizes. I went as far as using my broken injector that still had good o-rings and attempted to insert it into the manifold with a new fel-pro o-ring and it was very tight. So much that it would have made the fuel rail installation nearly impossible. Thanks for the response!
Groy H It wasn't very easy to remove. In the video we released them before taking the shot. Make sure you have released the gas pressure before and have let your truck sit for a while. Then give the tool a good press in and pull the lines apart.
If you need to just replace one known bad injector, I would guess you do not need to remove the entire assembly, but just unbolt the rail, lift it all up on that one side to access the injector? Would save a lot of work.
Yes, you could do that but you have to keep in mind that it takes some force to pull them out, so you'll need that free space for leverage. Now if the injector is in the back toward the firewall, your going to need to go all the way back there and you would need to remove everything like in the video. To be honest, it didn't take to much time to remove everything probably 10 ~ 15 minutes. It makes it so much easier to work with more space.
great coverage of the different connectors. thanks.
thanks man. I JUST got home from buying an 86, and this is one of the first things i need to do
Thank you Christian and to your father for taking the time in making this video. I have a '05 F150 Lariat with misfire/hesitation issues and your video made the process of removing my injectors much easier. Thanks again
Thanks for watching! Was you injector failing? or was that not the problem?
Christian Macias unfortunately no. Currently replacing the plugs. Pulled them and 7 out of 8 broke!! Ugggggg. Lol

GREAT tutorial, well done. The explanation couldn't be more explicit - THANK YOU GUYS!
This is one of the best how to videos I’ve seen it shows a very close so you can understand thanks
Great video Dude! I am working on my F150 as we speak! Very informative.
Christian, first of all your dad rocks! I am 43 and still learn things from my dad everyday. Great video and detailed explanation of how everything comes apart, instead of just saying "take this off". I don't know if this is my problem, but at least I know how to tackle it. Thank you and please tell your dad thanks as well!
Your welcome! I'll tell him you said you liked his video. I only put what my dad has taught me for those who don't have that advantage.
at least you have a dad....

well done
high level technician
thank u
Well made video. Every step explained, excellent.
GREAT VIDEO!
INSTANT SUB!!
THE HARSH CHEMICALS WOULDNT ALLOW GLUE TO CURE/SET/ GEL. MELTING SYRINGE WAS A GREAT IDEAL!!
THX FOR SHARING!!
Thanks! Made do with what we had available.
Great video with excellent detail. I'm working on a different vehicle, but your dad's message seems to be "Take the time to get everything out of the way first and your life will be easier!"

Excellent video. Thanks very much.
Thank you for such detailed instructions.
P.S., tell your dad that he is a great mechanic.
Great video! I might have to tackle this soon. I have also read there was an extended warranty on stuck injectors so it may be covered by Ford
Great info! Ill see if i can verify this
that's a great video best i have found
you fellas did a great job!
Thank you! We tried.
The video was very informative and East to understand, I just wanted to ask. Is the process the same for a 2015 f150 3.5l ecoboost or would it happen to be a different?
What size syringe did ya use wanna make sure it has a snug fit
great video and very detailed..thanks
Your welcome. Thanks for watching!
I'll be working on my fuel injectors today and this video was a nice overview. I think my #8 injector has a leak at the connection to the fuel rail. Do all injectors have an o-ring that seals it to the rail?
Yes they do. They come out with a good tug. They have 2, one on each end. I'm glad this video was able to help you!
Could you use injectors on a different year but same model car??(1994-1995 ford?)
thank you for this video I found it very informative
Your welcome! Thanks for watching.
good video but it do not help my injectors on my 93 f150 does not spray. fuel pressure good current to the injectors but my question is what pulses the injectors?

Will this be the same procedure on a Ford F150 2002 4.2 V6 ?
Question. Could I use a 9 volt battery to power up the injector
was a platform of some type used to stand on? No way I can reach the back of the engine on my 2006 F150 standing on the ground and Im 5'11"
+Ron R yes. The garage has a part that elevates like 4in. That's what we stood on.
nice. i have a 93 ford van E250 i starting engine runing but when i push the gas pedal turn off the engine. fuel pum is ok,sparkplus r ok, fuel are ok. my question is if can be the injectors or the throttle sensor? ?? please if you can help me with this?
possibly your throttle body or sensor, most likely
Any way to remove the main fuel line without special tool?!??
I have a 2004 Expedition with the 5.4L V8 Triton, does this video apply to the removal of the fuel rail for it as well?
Good video gives you a look what your getting yourself into. Remember disconnect the battery first before you start. Don't be like me and leave mine connected and well let's say got a new truck after mine burnt to the ground. Just kidding:)
Baxter DeBerry it's you injection coils I had the same problem it drives good at 70 but when stopped it shakes and when you pulling off it drives badly unfortunately I wasn't able to get the spark plugs changed at the same time because I didn't knw that that was the best way to do it change the coils with the spark plugs.

What is that tool he used at 4:50 called?
Zonekiller24 ford has a special way of holding certain lines. I know you need them for replacing the fuel filter. I got them at AutoZone for like 2 bucks and it came with a bunch sizes. I don’t know the name of the tool though 🤷♂️
Is there an O ring that needs to go on the top of the fuel injector?
what year f150 is this?, I have a 98 4.6L, and it was sitting for a year due to family issues and pump, starter went out... we got it running finally but now it runs rought.. we ran seafoam in it, and lucas, although that helped it didn't fix the issue.. its driveable but everytime you give it a little gas it shakes.. even on the road.., weve been able to drive it at 70 no issues..
This one is a 2007
is this the same method for the 04 f150 V6 4.2 heritage???
Is there a way to replace just one fuel injector without taking all the railing off?
good video very helpful
Thank You!
Christian Macias
see u guys are good need to know how to remove the daewoo cielo injectors
awesome video, thx
Do you really need to disconnect everything? I know it creates easy access but will it stop you from being able to do the job?
You guys are awesome; excellent video presentation, pictures and sound. Thanks Papa, good job. I wonder if hot melt glue would have worked for sealing the red straw tube into the syringe.
how much would this cost to take to a mechanic and do?
Good jod, so I can do my expedition, looks like the same motor, just should have pulled the fuel pump relay and ran the fuel lines dry first or released the fuel pump inertia switch. Very good video

Excuse me is your truck smelling gas
From the injector?
I LOVE YOU BOTH THATS THE PERFECTO VIDEO EVER YOU BOTH ARE AWESOME
Doesn't look anything like my 5.4 engine, what year is it?
This was done on a 2007. Good point though. I forgot to put the year of the truck
How do you put the fuel injection rails back in to make a good seal? I'm having difficulty putting them back on. They keep leaking.
Check the O-rings
Excuse me is your truck smelling gas on a injector rail?
Thank you for all the info ur great

Thanks for your input! I will keep this in mind next time we do a tune up on a vehicle and test it out to compare the difference.

always replace the orings! carbon build up is bad, but air leaks suck!! lol
This is my kind of work
It's not too difficult. Just time consuming!
basically, you have to remove every hose and connector and then you get access "pretty easy"
I need to know how to replace it in a 94 not a 2000+ f150 not the same
Can you redo the title and include the year model and engine size?
at 4:50 my lines wont come off, they are really stuck on there
Groy H It wasn't very easy to remove. In the video we released them before taking the shot. Make sure you have released the gas pressure before and have let your truck sit for a while. Then give the tool a good press in and pull the lines apart.
Drench the connector spring area with WD-40 and rotate the connector slightly back and forth. Also works for Ford fuel filters.
This video does not help I need to know where the fuel injectors are in a 1986 Ford F-150 xl 5.0l v8 302
thank u!

I see- thanks.
You're welcome and thanks for watching
And after all that work you still have old injectors that may fail. Id just replace them.
***** It is possible but I don't recommend it. There will but fuel coming out of the socket.
How much do ya think a shop would charge me for doing this.
