Note 1:Can be tuned by a chip into the J3 service port.

2. On vehicles equipped with automatic transmission, disconnect kickdown cable from throttle linkage.

3. On all models, disconnect accelerator cable from throttle linkage.

4. Remove screws attaching accelerator cable bracket to upper intake manifold , then position bracket, accelerator cable and the automatic transmission kickdown cable, if equipped, out of way.

5. Disconnect fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose from fuel pressure regulator and the upper intake manifold fitting.

6. Disconnect positive crankcase ventilation (PCV ) hose at upper intake manifold fitting.

7. Disconnect coil wire from distributor cap and position out of way.

8. Remove distributor cap attaching screws and the cap, positioning out of way.

9. Using suitable vacuum pump, depressurize fuel system. Connect pump hose to fuel system pressure regulator and apply at least 25 inches of vacuum. Fuel supply lines will remain pressurized for some period of time after engine is shut off. System pressure must be relieved before disconnecting any fuel lines.

10. Disconnect vacuum pump from fuel pressure regulator.

11. Disconnect fuel supply line from fuel supply manifold.

12. Using tool T822-9500-AH or equivalent, disconnect fuel return line.

13. Remove fuel pulse damper to mounting bracket attaching nut.

14. Cut fuel injection wiring harness routing strap at fuel pulse damper bracket, if necessary.

15. Disconnect fuel injector wiring harness connector.

16. Disconnect electrical connector from coolant temperature sender at cylinder block.

17. Remove fuel supply manifold assembly front retaining bolt,

18. Remove fuel supply manifold assembly rear attaching bolt,

19. Remove fuel supply manifold assembly by disengaging each fuel injector from lower intake manifold, then carefully pulling the whole assembly out from under the upper intake manifold toward front of engine.

20. Remove three Allen head attaching screws and the fuel pressure regulator from the fuel supply manifold.

21. Remove each injector from fuel supply manifold.

22. Disconnect electrical connector at each injector.

23. Reverse procedure to install, torquing fuel supply manifold attaching bolts to 15-22 ft. lbs.

Removal
1. Remove the   fuel tank . If necessary.
2. Remove the sending unit/    fuel pump  lock ring using Lock Ring Tool D84P-9275-A, or
equivalent. Turn the lock ring counterclockwise to release from the tank.
3. Remove the lock ring, seal ring and sending unit/   fuel pump   from the fuel tank .

Installation

1. Clean the  fuel tank  seal ring groove.
2. Put a light coating of C1AZ-19590-B, or equivalent heavy-duty grease, on a new seal
ring to prevent the lock ring from dragging on the seal during installation.
3. Position the new seal ring in the  fuel tank  groove.
4. Position the sending unit/  fuel pump  in the fuel tank.
5. Hold the assembly in position and install the lock ring fingertight. Make sure that all
locking tabs are under the tank lock ring tabs.
6. Tighten the lock ring using Lock Ring Tool D84P-9275-A, or equivalent.

WIRING - ELECTRICAL        DIODE   IDENTIFICATION AND SERVICE REPLACEMENTS

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update the applicable model years.
ISSUE:
Electrical system concerns that are due to diode  failure may be serviced with an approved Ford service diode. Some electrical diodes used in early production vehicles are color coded for the purpose of size identification while others are stamped with a manufacture number. All Ford service diodes and current production diodes are identified by manufacture number.

ACTION:
If service is required, refer to the appropriate model/year Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) to determine the size and location of the diode (s). Refer to the following Electrical Diode Application Chart for the correct service part number.

NOTE:
IF THE  DIODE    REQUIRING REPLACEMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME RATING AS LISTED IN THE APPLICATION CHART, USE THE NEXT HIGHER RATED DIODE.
