2001 Lincoln LS Fuel Rail Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How should one service the fuel rail safely to avoid personal injury on 2001 Lincoln LS?

  A: Keep away from fuel injection components while performing fuel rail service operations because highly flammable mixtures exist in these areas and cause personal injury. The system maintains high pressure fuel throughout the off-engine phase thus safety precautions should always be followed while working in the fuel system. Clearing fuel system pressure must happen before you detach any fuel components or lines. Start your work by taking out the upper intake manifold before getting rid of fuel system pressure. Users should disconnect the fuel charging wiring connector from the engine control sensor electrical connector behind the lower intake manifold on the rear side of the wiring shield. The next step remains to remove the fuel pressure sensor vacuum hose in addition to its electrical connector before extracting the fuel line while stocking the line right after disconnecting to stop any leakage. The four bolts holding the fuel supply manifold assembly must be removed while recognizing that separation of the lower intake manifold assembly from the engine is required. Install the fuel supply manifold assembly by placing its position correctly and then torque the four bolts based on the correct installation sequence. You should enable the fuel line then reconnect the fuel pressure sensor electrical connector alongside the fuel pressure sensor vacuum hose before activating the fuel charging wiring connector from the engine control sensor electrical connector. Testing of the fuel system pressure should be the final step to validate its correct functionality.
