Aeromotive 17156 - COBRA JET ENGINE KIT - Manual (Page 2)

The following steps are typical of most installations:
1. Once the engine has been allowed to cool, disconnect the negative battery cable and relieve fuel
system pressure, referring to the appropriate vehicle service manual for the procedure on doing so.
2. Remove the air intake ducting from the throttle body.
3. Note the location of and remove any vacuum lines connected to the air intake and position them out of
the way.
4. Unplug the TPS sensor and drive-by wire connector, which is typically located on top of the throttle
body.
5. Remove the throttle body by removing 4 screws.
6. Now remove the blower inlet tube by removing the 4 bolts.
7. Check for any dirt or debris around the fuel injectors. If any is evident, wash it off with some solvent
parts cleaner or wipe it off with a clean shop towel.
8. Disconnect the electrical connector at each injector, making note of the location of each. Also
disconnect the fuel pressure sensor located on the passenger side fuel rail.
9. Disconnect the supply line from the OEM fuel rails. This line is attached by a special quick disconnect
fitting which does not require a special tool for removal. Place clean shop towels around the open fuel
line to catch any gasoline that may drip out and to prevent any dirt from entering the fuel lines.
10. Remove the 4 bolts that attach the fuel rail to the lower intake.
11. Place clean shop towels around the injectors to catch any gasoline that may be spilled during their
removal. Remove the injectors from the manifold by gently pulling upward on the fuel rail / injector
assembly. Keep all injectors connected to the fuel rails. If an injector does pull out of the fuel rail, it
may spill a large amount of fuel.
12. Carefully remove the fuel injectors from the OEM fuel rail.
13. Remove the old o-rings from the fuel injectors, inspect the injectors for any dirt or debris and clean if
needed. It is suggested that the old o-rings be replaced, contact your local Ford parts dept.
14. Coat the fuel injector o-rings with a light oil to ease installation.
15. Carefully install the fuel injector o-rings on the injectors.
16. Place a thin coat of light oil in the fuel rail fuel injector bores and in the lower intake manifold injector
bores to help prevent cutting the o-rings during installation.
17. Carefully place the fuel injectors in the fuel rails. Position the electrical connector on each fuel injector
on the opposite side of the mounting bracket.
18. Install both fuel rails, being careful not to cut any of the o-rings during installation.
19. Find suitable place in the vehicle’s engine compartment to mount the Aeromotive regulator, typically
on the passenger side inner fender or shock tower. Using the supplied mounting bracket as a
template, mark the bracket mounting holes and drill to accept a #10 screw.
