2001 Mercury Cougar Fuel Rail Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the fuel rail without speed control on 2001 Mercury Cougar?

  A: Service procedures for the fuel rail without speed control should start with releasing fuel system pressure. Highly flammable vapors from the system require that you take all precautions to abstain from smoking and maintaining open flames to guarantee safety. First cut off the air cleaner outlet tube and the resonator before disconnecting both spring lock couplings on the fuel supply and return pipes. To begin the process of fuel rail service without speed control you must first disconnect the fuel supply and return hose clamp then remove the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator and detach the accelerator cable retaining clip. The first step involves removing the accelerator cable from its bracket position before proceeding to disconnect the fuel injector electrical connectors. Remove the engine cover grommet to reach the variable camshaft timing solenoid electrical connector. After that disconnect its electrical cable installation. Go ahead and move the wiring harness of the fuel injection to one side then take off the fuel injection supply manifold assembly. New fuel injector lower O-rings require lubrication with XO-10W30-QSP or DSP engine oil or WSSM2C-153-H equivalent Ford specification during installation. The same procedure is used for reassembly of the fuel injector assembly.
