Supersession Statement

This PI was superseded to update Repair information and Model Years. Please discard PIP5234B.

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern

The dealer may encounter a concern where SI diagnostics indicates a fuel injector may need to be removed for a repair or replaced.

This could be due to a fuel odor and/or extended cranking condition.

Recommendation/Instructions
  1. Install Dye (p/n 88861206) into the fuel system via the filler neck
  2. Start Engine and let idle for 15 minutes
  3. Remove intake manifold
  4. Inspect for any leaks. 

    Note: **** Tightening the nuts is not an approved procedure *****

  5. After installing the seals and new pipes, start the engine let it idle for 5 min and confirm no leak is evident. Performing a post-install leak check has proven to be beneficial so customers do not return with another leak.
  6.   If required, replace the engine insulator if absorbed with fuel or emits a fuel odor.

If you cannot conclude if the leak is coming from one of the fuel feed pipes, start the engine and let idle for 5 minutes looking for source of leak. Refer to SI for further diagnostics.
