Camry Fuel Injector Replacement (97-01)

Fuel Injector replacement on a 97-01 Toyota Camry with the 5S-FE 2.2L engine. This process will be very similar for all Toyotas with this engine and many other 4-cylinder cars.

Thank you. Always good to see someone doing the real work before attempting on my own.

No problem 👍

I have a Camry 2005, I am getting the code P0191 which suggests a problem with the fuel rail pressure sensor, is there a chance that the fuel rail bolt you talked about contained that sensor?

[@MrDIYUSA]

The 2005 Camry has a different motor with a different fuel rail, but a quick Google image search shows the pressure sensor attaching the fuel line to the rail like you said. Looks like it’s about $75 online. Should be a fairly easy fix.

Is there two special washers on fuel rail banjo fitting ? One on inside and one on outside?

[@MrDIYUSA]

It’s has been a few months since I took it apart, but as I recall there is a washer on the outside of the fuel line and a triangle shaped one between the fuel line and the rail.

Thanks for reply , maybe you can help me? I did this job to fix a misfire on cylinder four (replaced all 4 injectors) , but now I’m having a hard time starting the car, it takes like 8 seconds for the car to turn over and smells like raw fuel in the cabin when starting it . Once started the car runs great . Any ideas?

[@MrDIYUSA]

@@noseymosey1556 Is there any visible fuel leaking? Perhaps you didn’t get one of the injectors fully seated or have some debris causing a break in the o-ring seal? While removing the valve cover is not necessary, it makes the project much easier due to the tight space to work. I would double check to make sure each injector is fully seated. Additionally you might have a small leak in your fuel rail or line air to get in to the fuel rail. When you go to start the fuel pump has to push out the air before the fuel can get to the injectors. I would suggest rechecking all your work and making sure each injector is fully seated. Good luck. Please let me know what you find.

@@noseymosey1556did you ever figure this out?

[@Carnivorish_Keto_Eatz]

Thx man just found your page very helpful! I need to replace my injectors. I have a fuel leak and am getting very bad fuel consumption, so Im thinking this is the problem it smells like gas right in this area. Seems like not too bad of a job. How long did it take?

[@MrDIYUSA]

Glad I could help. This job is fairly easy, start to finish I would guess 1-2 hours depending on your familiarity with engines. While you are in there I would suggest you replace your valve cover gasket. I found it much easier to remove the valve cover gasket on this job. I’m finding that my filming the projects adds substantially to my timeline. Just make sure you have the 22mm wrench for the fuel line to the fuel rail.

I'm having a hard time finding the right fuel injectors what brand did you get?

[@MrDIYUSA]

I purchased mine off of Amazon. They are not Denso brand, but look identical. www.amazon.com/dp/B0B68BBZGL?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

[@fps_purge5736]

Do they run good still, I’m debating on buying those , 1A autos or car quests from advance auto parts, need help asap

[@MrDIYUSA]

@@fps_purge5736I have had no issues with the injectors. Although I have only used them for a few months. Will they last as long as the original Denso? Probably not, but I don't think ill have the car for another 267,000 miles.

[@fps_purge5736]

@@MrDIYUSA should I return the car quest ones I paid 200 for ? Haven’t installed them yet

[@fps_purge5736]

@@MrDIYUSA also I see videos where people don’t take the fuel rail off and just take the injectors out from the rail ? Is that okay?

[@jkv9461]

Removing the valve cover???? Idk man. Im going to keep scrolling to another vid. Thx anyways.
