Customer Question

On 1997 ford e350 with 7.3l powerstroke diesel, number 3 fuel injector is failing. I have got the inj loose from the head but, there is not enough room to pull it out. Any other injector would clear but this one is in line with the compartment for the a/c core, any ideas on a way to get enough room to remove and replace the injector.

 

Optional Information:
Make: Ford
Model: e350
Year: 1997

Already Tried:
Pulled valve cover, pulled bolts out of injector, popped injector out of it's seat, it's loose, but not enough room to pull clear of head

Hello and Welcome to Justanswer,

My name is XXXXX XXXXX X am here to try and assist your with your question.

The #3 and #5 injector are the tight ones and the engine has to be lowered. I have enclosed the Factory steps to get them out.

If removing injector 3 or 5, perform the following:

  1. Disconnect the AC compressor clutch wire.
  1. Raise the vehicle.
  1. Remove the LH engine mount-to-engine bolts.
  1. Raise the engine.
  1. Remove the LH engine mount-to-cross member nuts.
  1. Remove the LH engine mount.
  1. Lower the engine until oil pan is resting on cross member.
