2000 Lincoln LS Fuel Rail Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel rail to avoid personal injury and ensure proper operation on 2000 Lincoln LS?

  A: People must stay away from fuel injection components when servicing the fuel rail because highly flammable mixtures in those components can lead to personal injury so no smoking or carrying any lighted tobacco or open flames should be allowed. The fuel system contains high pressure during engine idle conditions thus you must vent the fuel system pressure before removing any fuel related components or tubing. The upper intake manifold should be taken off first before performing fuel system pressure relief. The engine control sensor electrical connector behind the lower intake manifold on the rear side of the wiring shield requires disconnecting its fuel charging wiring connector. The technician should begin by disconnecting the fuel pressure sensor vacuum hose along with the fuel pressure sensor electrical connector before proceeding to disconnect the fuel line. Proper fuel line plugging prevents leakage during the process of disconnecting. The four bolts need removal to separate the fuel supply manifold assembly where removing the lower intake manifold assembly from the engine becomes mandatory. The four bolts securing the fuel supply manifold assembly need to be tightened using a specific installation sequence. First reestablish the fuel line and the fuel pressure sensor electrical connector along with the fuel pressure sensor vacuum hose. Complete restoration by connecting the fuel charging wiring connector from the engine control sensor electrical connector. A test for fuel system pressure should be conducted to verify correct functioning of the system.
