Park the Camaro
on a flat, level surface and set the parking brake. Open the hood and
secure it in place with the hood prop. Disconnect the negative battery
cable.
Open the gas tank to relieve pressure on the fuel lines.
Remove the sight shield from the fuel injector with a socket
wrench. Loosen the screws on the hose clamps and disconnect the fuel
lines connected to the injectors. Keep a rag handy to catch any fuel
that leaks.
Disconnect the vacuum hose and ignition coil wire, then
unplug the electrical connectors. Remove the fuel injector mounting
bolts, undo the retaining clips and remove the fuel injectors.
Put a thin coat of engine oil on the new fuel injector's
O-ring. Place the O-ring in position, install the new fuel injectors and
secure the retaining clips. Install the mounting bolts with a torque
wrench set at seven pounds.
Plug the electrical connectors back into the fuel injectors.
Reconnect the vacuum hose and ignition coil wire. Connect the fuel lines
and tighten the hose clamps with a screwdriver to secure them in place.
Bolt the sight shield in place with a socket wrench.
Place the gas cap back on. Reconnect the negative battery cable
fuel pressure is probably bleeding off when it sets for a period. it probably is bleeding off into the return line if you see no leaks.turn the key on for 30 seconds then off before starting. if you dont like this then you can replace all of the fuel line o-rings in the system and pressure regulator/fuel rail assembly
Just get a piece of the rotting fuel line so that you will be assured of getting the right size. Take it to a shop that sells car accessories, and ask them for enough to do your car. Also get new clamps. Start at the fuel tank, undo the clamp, pull off the old hose , put on the new one, do up the new clamp, and then just follow the old hose along, replacing it with the new one as you go. At the far end. do the same... undo the old clamp, put the new hose and clamp on. But I forgot to tell you about the fuel filter. Replace this while you are doing this job.
Had mine replaced a few years ago and my mechanic used metal brake line tubing instead of going to the dealer for the original part (which they did not have). Worked great and the tube can be cut to whatever length you need.
If you do it yourself, you may be able to use the original nuts but will need a flaring tool for the ends.
Not a very common problem. You can get either the part from the dealer, or the seat from the junk yard. It will have the piece you need to correct the issue.
Is the line plastic or steel? They make repair kits for plastic lines, if you can find them. They are hard to find. If it is a steel line, you can go to the parts store and buy a pressure fitting. Cut the line and put the pressure fitting on. If it is the end of the lines, where they hook together or hook to fuel filter, it could be bad O-rings. Need more info.
