You have to remove intake boot, intake plenum, throttle body. After that You have to disconnect all the coil connectors, vvt solenoid connectors, oil control valve connector, purge solenoid connector, main harness connector (left side of engine). Once you do that you can zip tie the partially disconnected wire harness towards the front of the engine out of the way. Then you disconnect the vacuum line from the purge solenoid and move that over. Then you disconnect the vacuum line on the right side of the engine and move that out of the way, this line has 2 quick connect points. With all that out of the way you now loosen and disconnect the intake manifold. It has 5 10mm bolts on the top side of the manifold near the back of the engine and 1 bolt on the bottom right side of the manifold. You need to Jack the car up to get underneath and remove this bolt. With all 6 intake manifold bolts removed, the whole plastic manifold should drop down and rest on its own. You will then see the fuel rail reveal itself, its located on the back of the cylinder head beneath the intake manifold. If you wish to replace the fuel injectors you’ll need to remove the fuel rail wire harness that clips onto the rail and also remove the high pressure fuel pump and feed tube. When you remove the hp fuel pump be sure to catch the cam follower if it falls out. You don’t want that to be dirty or damaged. Also inspect it for abnormal wear. When you go to reinstall the hp fuel pump you absolutely want to rotate the crank pulley so the cam lobe is on a flat side. This will make reinstallation much much easier. Final advice. The intake manifold bolts have a low low torque specs and weak brittle bolts so take your time when tightening it down to the engine. I replaced the fuel injectors on my 2014 Malibu LT 2.5L. It sort of fixed issues I’ve been having but I still have very odd issues with acceleration on the car. I believe it’s a mix of vvt and transmission issues. I am no mechanic but an engineer by day. I guess I’ll keep hunting down this issue 😂
Hey quick question having problems with that exact car, do you happen to know what that piece is that you have to remove first Before the valve cover is removed . Please and thank you
Tell me if you found other damage when you looked further into the engine because I took my valve cover off and my chain looks fine. The valve guy look fine but I'm still getting p0016 code
How not to remove your valve cover should be title. I was watching you pry it waiting for it to break knowing what else has to be removed. Now you need to buy 16 gaskets. Good luck.
@@autothechgarage6268 lol sorry man. No disrespect ment. I am a heavy equipment diesel technician and see guys not do their research everyday. Just stay safe.
Oh I’m sorry Mr heavy duty diesel technician I did know that. Since you do your research and know everything about diesel maybe you can help me with my truck ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2gI9YqRFMP4.html 🙏
Why diesel guys think they're smarter than the avg mechanic is bewildering basically you have an engine cycle glow plugs if equipped supply fuel free of air bubbles pressurize it atomize it roll the thing over and bang it runs monitor your egts time the pump with a luminosity probe not that complex what does a diesel guy know about ignition coils or modules and induction, hall effect sensors, oil controlled vvt and lift operation,lambda voltage values- metered air- fuel trim relation ol and cl. But what do I know I wasn't born knowing everything like a heavy diesel equipment technician but I was born with the ability to learn anything like anyone else
@@patrickbrasil7465 I can only assume your comment is directed at me. How much recognition are you looking for with your comment? 👏? Your comment let's me know all I need to know about your diesel knowledge which is very minimal. Your comments about diesel motors is from the 90s. You couldn't diagnose a current semi with the correct software if you tried. I started on gassers and still current work on them daily. Mainly on the newest diesels on the market from Hino to DD.
