2000 Ford Crown Victoria Fuel Rail Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the fuel rail on 2000 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: The first step for repairing or servicing the fuel rail demands safety protocols that order you to keep smoke and all open flames away from fuel components since these parts contain highly combustible mixtures. First disconnect the battery ground then relieve fuel pressure while separating the fuel lines. You must remove both the throttle body along with the drive belt. The service technician should disconnect the fuel temperature sensor and the fuel pressure sensor together with the main fuel shut-off solenoid and all required connectors. Disassemble the generator mounting bracket bolts before unclipping and placing out of the way the accelerator cable together with the speed control actuator cable that connects to the crash brackets. The bracket holding the LH heated oxygen sensor wants removal by first clearing the sensor and transmission electrical connector then using the nut-bolt to detach it from the cylinder head. You should disconnect vacuum lines while verifying there are no vacuum connections at EGR and then detach the eight fuel injector electrical connectors. Remove the tubing, bolt and stud from the crankcase ventilation system followed by removal of the crash bracket together with its studs before separating the fuel injection manifold from the injectors. To install the fuel injectors apply clean engine oil that matches Ford specification WSS-MZC153-G and use new fuel-resistant O-rings for the application. The fuel injection supply manifold with fuel injectors mounts as one assembly before torquing the manifold bolts to specifications that include installing studs and a crash bracket. Reinstall the bolt and stud before connecting the crankcase ventilation tube along with the installation of eight fuel injector electrical connectors and vacuum lines. Before finishing the procedure attach the bolting hardware for the fuel supply retaining bracket while connecting both the LH heated oxygen sensor and transmission electrical connectors then clip the accelerator and speed control actuator cables and fasten the bolts. Screw the generator mounting bracket into place and tighten its bolts then join the main fuel shut-off solenoid and other connectors followed by the fuel pressure and temperature sensor connectors. You should install the drive belt first and then connect the throttle body and refuel all lines before connecting the battery ground cable.
