How hard is it to remove the fuel rail? I've never done it before. I have a stuck (removal tool smashed it in there pretty good) schrader valve and I think I may have to replace the whole thing if I can't get the valve out.
 
fuel rail removal

there's a good tech article about fuel rail removal, maybe its titled swapping inj. or something like that, at gnttype.org.
 
well to remove the fuel rail is not that hard 4 screw hold it down
1- disconnect the throttle linkage to throttle body
2-then unsrew the fuel rail from the passenger side and driver fbr
3- then you can start removing the 4 bolts that hold the rail
5- the bolt on the driver side closets to the wiper motor holds down the throttle linkage bracket, i believe its a 13mm, you must loosen the coil module bracket, its three screw that hold it, two are right by the rail, the 3rd one is behind the module, its a 10mm
6- you can start lifting the rail by prying it with a small srew driver, but not to hard
7- as the fuel rail starts to come disconnect the wire harness to the injectors.
8- when you remove the fbr do not forget or loose a small piece of plastic that is inside the rail, in between the rail and fbr, with out it it will leak fuel
9- i usually remove the injecters on at time so you wont cunfuse the harness connections
these steps should help out,steady boosting :biggrin:
