Ok I'm replacing the oil metering pump hoses ( yeah I know finally!!)

I was always under the impression that this was going the be a 1 hour job! tops

but nooooooooo the plastic hoses reach far into my engine into areas where i have little experience with. (but thats ok what doesn't kill us makes us stronger)

See i have to explain myself; I learn about my car as I correct problems with it, cause no one around here knows anything about it ( thank god I have internet!)



so my questions is what is the most practical (step by step please) way to reach these hoses?

what order things need to be removed what to watch out for etc.....



I'am sick of this Haynes repair manual so few descriptions of how to get things down or followups are left out! or not covered at all!

First do yourself a favor and download a copy of the Factory Service Manual. Do a search, I can't remember if it's on here or TeamFC3S or what nowadays.



It's just a matter of taking things apart in order for you to access those little buggers. You'll have to have the upper intake off in the end.



I'd give you a step by step from memory if my car wasn't a TII.



Just dive in. Take it slow and back off if you run into problems and consult the FSM and/or the forums. Watch for hard vac lines that need replacing while your in there. Also might want to make sure the PD isn't leaking also. You'd be wondering why it stinks like fuel down there and probably figure it out anyway.



Oh, not a bad idea to have some new gaskets on hand for the parts that you'll need to split. I always use gasket dressing like Hylomar so they're easier to deal with later. You'll see what I mean if you are breaking apart old factory sealed intakes. Takes a while to get all that old gasket material off there.

Here is a write-up to replace the fuel pulsation damper. But it provides some pics and steps on how to access the same area of the oil metering lines.



Be sure to have new vacuum hose, and be very careful removing old vacuum hose from the plastic thing (that has one hose going in one side, and 4 going out the other, to each oil metering nozzle). You can see a pic of it in the write-up, with red silicone hose on it.

Its not that hard, just take off the TB and upper intake manifold and then you can get to them. Mark and tag anything you think needs it. You will also need a narrowed wrench end to fit on the injector nozzle things. I grinded some of the face away of an extra wrench, worked great.

Mr. Midas

Iluvmyrxy.com has some FSM's; they are a definite necessity when doing just about anything on your car. You can also rebuild your OMP lines if you want to do it all yourself, and save some money.





Hope that helps!
