  • If the noise is coming from the high pressure fuel pump, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE.
  • If the noise is coming from the timing belt area, refer to service bulletin 14-025, Timing Belt Chirps.
  • If the noise is not coming from the high pressure fuel pump or timing belt, continue with normal troubleshooting.

 

REPAIR PROCEDURE

  2. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC).
  3. Remove the intake manifold and intake manifold base. See service information.

Note: Removal of the throttle body from the intake manifold is not required. Seal the two water hoses and leave it attached to the intake manifold

  1. Set the gauge on the roller and hold it, then set the dial to zero.
  2. Rotate the crankshaft 720° and measure the three cam lobes height. If the cam lobes are excessively worn, replace the rear camshaft.

NOTE: The high pressure fuel pump cam has three cam lobes. Cam Lobe Height Standard (New): 0.236 in  (6.0 mm)

  1. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC).

  1. Install the roller and the high pressure fuel pump. Install the bolts loosely by hand in an alternate pattern. Connect the connector.

NOTE: Failure to install a new fuel joint pipe will cause fuel leaks.

  1. Lubricate the top of the new fuel joint pipe and the threaded area of the fuel rails and the high pressure fuel pump with polyethylene glycol included in the new fuel joint pipe kit. NOTE: Do not reuse the fuel joint pipe.

  1. Tighten the fuel joint pipe bracket mounting bolts and the fuel joint pipe nuts to the specified torque in the numbered sequence shown.

NOTE:

  • A crowfoot-type special tool increases the torque applied by the torque wrench. Refer to Torque Specifications for details on how to recalculate the torque wrench setting.
  • Failure to tighten the fuel joint pipe nuts to the proper torque will cause a fuel leak.
  1. Connect the quick-connect fitting and install the quick-connect fitting cover.
  2. Set the power mode to ON, but do not start the engine. After the fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds, the fuel line will be pressurized. Repeat this two or three times, then check for fuel leakage.
  3. Install the high pressure fuel pump cover and torque it to 12 N·m (9 lb-ft).
