• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

oh well. I still have my car and haven't called back the guy that left me a message saying that he wanted to buy the car. i just need to find something or bite one and tell him I am backing out. I don't want to back out, becasue I feel like a dick making this guy come up to my level and now not to sell.
 


Put on laptop, stream over wifi in garage... follow step by step. It will take you longer than 33 mins, but you will have no problems then lol. I've done it outside, under a tree, while it was raining (was sunny when I started, dam clouds came out of nowhere) and I didn't even have a torque wrench, we used my buddies air tools and he had a air wrench set to a certain level and never had a problem with it.

neither are necessary imo. use your judgement on torquing, do it evenly and in pattern. you should know roughly where 10 ft lb is. fuel lines. meh, just move the lines and rails entirely off to the side.

10 ft lbs is like air lol id rather trust the wrench. but i hear ya, lots of guys do it free hand.

True that... but if you aren't experienced this could lead to over torquing or not enough and neither are good... but as I said, I didn't, I used air tools set to around 10-12 ft/lbs.

Added to the lines, unbolt the rails completely, unplug the power connectors to the injectors, and you can just pull the injectors up out of the manifold with the rails and all you have to replace is the lower o-rings to the injectors and the fuel system will still be solid and no fuel leaking. 90% of the time easier is always better.

A Torque wrench is a good tool to have, don't rent one, just buy one. You don't need to spend a lot and buy a fancy brand, a craftsman(probably even a harbor freight) will do fine.Fuel quick disconnect tool is cheap, $3-10 maybe. You don't even need it necessarily, I disconnected mine with a pair of screwdrivers when I had an o-ring go bad while I was out of town.

I agree on the torque wrench. Just get a 20$ one at harbor freight or order it.

When I did my LIM I just bungeed the fuel rails up to my hood, never disconnected it
 
So I replace the exterior temp sensor... and my ABS and Trac Off light turned off for the first time since I owned the vehicle... lolwut?
