2001 Ford Focus Fuel Rail Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the fuel rail safely and effectively on 2001 Ford Focus?

  A: A service procedure on the fuel rail begins with disconnecting the battery cable ground and releasing fuel pressure. The first step involves removing the air cleaner outlet tube before you detach the accelerator cable by taking off the retaining clip to separate the inner cable from the throttle body and then rotating the outer cable while removing the accelerator cable itself. Begin service of the fuel rail by detaching the speed control cable together with the fuel injector electrical connectors. The installation process starts with extracting the fuel pressure sensor together with the fuel supply manifold and fuel injector by moving the clip. This action enables you to remove the injector. Discard the O-ring seals. The retrieval process should be repeated while applying clean engine oil to new O-ring seals to help installation and replacing all new O-ring seals. You should follow all safety measures during fuel component maintenance because this work area contains highly flammable vapors that warrant no smoking or usage of open flames. It is imperative never to use silicone grease when furnishing lubrication for O-ring seals because it may create a blockade in fuel injectors.
