2012 Buick Enclave fuel injector removal

[@jd5179]

Thnx brother, did mine yesterday. Took me a while to remove the fuel rails - putting it back is not hard .

[@princeheath5233]

Your welcome glad to help out :) once there out it goes back easier but they put up a nice fight coming out lol. Did you use a new o-ring kit also.

[@princeheath5233]

@@jd5179 did you replaced your spark plugs and coil packs also since you were tearing it all apart or just the fuel injectors this time.

Instead of buying new ones why not try to clean them up and reinstall? This is one of the reason with these vehicles we need to service them on time...I like to run a good injector cleaner like techron concentrate a few times a year to prevent these carbon and crud buildups..The same service should be done on the throttle body, run a can of CRC GDI cleaner at every oil change, it helps to prevent the build up of carbon around the intake Valves.. I try to do this every so often and amazing how responsive this vehicle is..Mine is also a 2012 with about 60K miles..love this vehicle but maintainance as with all vehicles is the key.. Now replace the rear differential fluid and the front as well. Good luck with the vehicle 💪

I have the 2012 Acadia. I want it to last as long as possible. Glad I found you. Bought mine new , 160,000 miles, original brakes and rotors, not oil burning, shocks and struts replaced at 150,000, water pump, and plugs at 100,000, 3 drain and fill transmission services, brake lines and power steering pump fluids changed twice. Recent 3000 mile highway trip I got 24 something mpg. Oh, last month A/C condenser and compressor at AAA. Living in Phoenix I still tried to not use the ac at times but I think that was a big mistake, I think I dried out the seals since I now only drive at most 5000 miles a yr. It always got oil and filter every 5000 miles. I would hate to have to replace this car.

Thank you for the heads up my friend

[@chrishawncoleman4885]

150 per injector seems a bit on the high side. I found one brand new OEM GM injector for $35. what kind are you using for 150-288 per injector?

[@rsanchez5179]

Thank you for your video. To install the injectors do I need to install the injectors and then the harness and the fuel rail afterwards. What is the order? Thank you very much.

[@princeheath5233]

Yes install the injectors and the orings then the fuel rail, please be careful when reaching in the fuel rail, the edges are sharp. You will feel I click when pushing down on the injectors make sure you lube the orings on the bottom off the injectors before putting them in, this will make it easier to install and not to rip the oring.

[@edvandyck4709]

Did you replace the fuel rails also? GM Manual stated this but not sure if needed. Also, Rock Auto has GM injectors for around $74, save a lot of money for 6. Good idea to replace all 6 at one time though! How many miles does your 2012 have. I first got the timing chain loose code of P0008 but after a few hundred miles, it started running rough. Buick got a P029D code for #1 injector leaking.

[@princeheath5233]

No I didn't replace the fuel rails, I did clean them and make sure they were clear and free of debris, I found some for about that price :) to thank you for the info to :), I have about 140,000 miles right now. I didn't change the timing chain yet. Runs sooo much better with the new injectors, spark plugs and coil packs. What year is yours

[@ironmanhiggs]

Someone told me the fuel pressure sensor has to come off the rail first for clearance taking it out. But they also told me that it's a one time use sensor! Is this true? Also I know the rail to rail tube has to be replaced but what about the pump to rail tube? Does that one need to come off to do the job as well?

Wish it was a little more detailed but good content

[@princeheath5233]

Im working on it :)

[@kklove7178]

having a hard time getting them in are there any tricks? did you put the clips on them put the rail in or did you do the clips after instaling them?

[@princeheath5233]

After and PLEASE be careful that stuff is sharp and will cut your fingers

[@logandarga07]

What's the best way to get the rails out? I have a 2011 enclave and need to replace fuel injectors but the rails won't come out.

[@princeheath5233]

One at a time the rail towards the rear of the vehicle came out first then the one towards the front just gave to wigggle and turn

[@seres4741]

​@@princeheath5233 first time the rail was removed with injectors from engine or do you remove rail and after injectors?

Hey what’s sup brotha does this same tactic work for a 2010 Buick lacrosse

[@princeheath5233]

It should being in the same family of cars

[@christopherAwaite]

Was the Buick randomly stalling is that why you changed them

[@princeheath5233]

Yeah wnd I was getting codes for it misfiring and I had already changed the spark plugs and coil packs.

[@christopherAwaite]

Mine is stalling randomly but no codes

[@princeheath5233]

Yes it was and the put out white smoke

[@shondawoodruff6782]

Can you please help me, sir?

[@northernedgebullies7079]

Yooo, I got a code p0302, misfire on cylinder 2, so I cleaned the throttle body, changed the spark plugs (most of which were covered in oil), and am still getting a flashing engine light and service stabilitrak light! Heard this is a common problem with these engines and quite possibly a dangerous one at that. What would be your advice to fix the current problem I'm having, I'm no mexhanic either but I did do the plugs cuz I ain't paying no shop to do that ish.HELP PLS ANYONE

[@princeheath5233]

Check your Air flow (MAF) sensor make sure that does not have oil on it. They have a Air Flow Mass Sensor cleaner at your local parts store. I noticed when oil goes past that PCV valve and gets on that Sensor it will cause that code also. See if this helps! Question did you change your valve cover gaskets if you have sparks plugs covered in oil that is recommended also.

[@northernedgebullies7079]

@@princeheath5233 I'll check it out, and no I didn't change the gaskets.

@@northernedgebullies7079 before you spend any more money hook up the car OBD scanner and see what that flashing check engine light says. Then while its still hooked up to the OBD scanner go into the wheel speed sensors to make sure when your driving they are reading.

@@northernedgebullies7079 if there was oil on the spark plugs I highly recommend a valve cover gasket change or you be having the same issue in a few month's.

Anyone have any problems with just getting a po430 and po420 and p2097 Things been replaced. Coil packs spark plugs both cats, all 02 sensors. Both Pcv valves purge solenoid. Vent can solenoid. Charcoal canister, gas cap, throttle body cleaned, it has a vacuum test snd test for exhaust leaks. All that and I'm still getting only these codes. My rpm gauge does flutter a little. Any idea guys I need help

[@MarkSmith-js2pu]

Time to go back to your parts cannon:) Did you figure it out?
