fuel injector

[chevyguy10]

I was told by the mechanic at the Goodyear store that the number two fuel injector is leaking on my 1997 cavalier. Is this a repair an amateur like me can do. I have a repair manual but it is not real clear on the details.

I was told by a mechanic when I got my a/c checked that the number two fuel injector was leaking on my 1997 cavalier. Is this something an amateur like me can repair. I have a Haynes manual but it's a little confusing to me as there are two different fuel rails used on the base 4 cyl. engine.

If this is a 2.2L I-4, the injectors are galley-feed type. They can be removed and replaced without a lot of effort, but I would suggest getting a service manual for your vehicle so that all the details and necessary precautions and specifications are available as you undertake the project.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to try to do the work this weekend. I think I need a better manual.

You'll also need a Torx driver (T-30 IIRC) to remove the fuel rail hold-down bolts, and will likely need to remove the intake plenum. The FPR actually can remain in place during the injector swap:

Thanks for the help. I removed all 4 injectors and installed new O ring seals last weekend. It took a while but went well. The car is running good and no leaks! My daughter had a quote from a local mechanic to do this work who said she also needed a new injector. They wanted over $300.00 to do it, it cost $22.00 for the seals.
