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.

20. W ith the bracket attached to the regulator, mount the bracket and regulator to the vehicle using two

#10 screws, nuts and lock washers.

21. Install one AN-10 o-ring on each of the two AN-10 to AN-08 union fittings (15610) and one AN-6 o-ring

on the AN-6 to AN-08 fitting (15649).

22. Thread the side of the AN-10 cutoff’s with the o-ring into each of the two AN-10 ports on the regulator.

Also do the same for the AN-6 cutoff fitting in the return port on the bottom of the regulator.

23. Install one AN-08 o-ring on each of the four AN-08 union fittings (15607).

24. Thread the o-ring side of one of the AN-08 cuttoff to AN-08 male flare into the front and rear of each

rail.
