How do you change a fuel injector in a 1996 Chevy Cavalier?

Answer 1

Take the Cav to the dealership. Its worth the money to get them changed there.

or you can jsut go to an auto parts store and buy them yourself. They roughly are $40-$50 per injector. If its a 2.2L you just unscrew the screws holding it down and remove the bar that holds them down. Then you can simply pull them out. Careful not to let it spray ya, cause there will be some fuel in there. You should also see 2 orings per injector. If you only see one, just stick the injector back in the hole, the other one should come out with it when you pull it out again. Hope this helps and it will save ya some $$$

To relieve the fuel pressure: remove the fuel pump relay and fuse (under the hood, left side of engine compartment), start the car and let it run until it dies, turn the engine over a couple of times to remove as much fuel from the lines and fuel rail as possible. This will reduce the amount of pressurized fuel and reduce the mess of removing the fuel pressure regulator and the injectors.
