2006 Ford Taurus Fuel Rail Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel rail and injectors on 2006 Ford Taurus?

  A: Persons servicing fuel rail and injector systems must stay away from both smoke and flame sources in fuel-related areas because highly flammable mixtures present an injury risk. The fuel system maintains high pressure after the engine stops so releasing pressure first becomes vital before disconnecting components or tubes. Your first step must be to take off the upper intake manifold followed by disconnecting the fuel supply tube spring lock coupling combined with removing the fuel rail pressure sensor electrical connector and unhooking the vacuum tube. The next procedure requires removal of the six fuel injector electrical connectors. The fuel injection supply manifold with fuel injectors can be detached as a set using four bolts which should be fastened to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) torque when reinstalling. It is essential to use fuel-resistant special material O-ring seals during the process because regular O-ring seals might lead to leakage problems. The six fuel injectors should be removed from the fuel rail at this point. The procedure ends by performing the opposite process of removal while applying clean engine oil to the new O-ring seals before putting them in place.
