GM Spider Injection Replacement

[@utahyork3338]

Thanks for the video! Doing mine this week. You did a great job of cleaning everything up before the reinstall - nicely done. I was hoping the thermostat housing and hose would not have to be removed. I also learned that 3+ hands makes for easier work, but I'll be going it alone.

I just be sittin around twiddling my thumbs waiting for another episode of 'butter sauce TV". The Corvette and Camaro LS motors have such simple design, This looks like a night mare. Great Job Clowny.

[@klowny1969]

Lol this is old school baby..but seriously, not sure what the gm engineers were thinking when they designed the spider injection.

[@brandonvansel3716]

Ain't to bad really.Its tight to get at some of it but most of the bitch part is removing the wiring.actually id say this location and spark plug replacement are the true bitch to do

Excellent video! This is the 2nd video I see on this job but yours is much more detailed. I have a '97 Silverado with the 5.7, so I may end up doing this some day.

[@klowny1969]

Hey..thank you..most likely you might change it..its very common..if you notice a lack of power, its probably this

[@whtcivic93]

Thanks for the how to, doing mine currently and while it hasn't been too bad.. this video has definitely pointed out some hidden bolts and brackets I would've been scratching my head over!

Hey, looking for your opinion here. I have a 99 classic (98 body) k1500 with 5.7L. A month ago fuel pump went out, I replaced it and the filter. Had no issue afterwards. Start and ran good. A month after that, went to start pickup and it had a little longer cranking and it would start and immediately die. No engine codes. I have 60psi on the fuel line at the check valve. No other symptoms that I have found, just hard crank, starts, and dies. Won't run long enough to check fuel pressure while running. I'm wondering I'd the spider injection is worn out or maybe the fuel pressure regulator. I did change spark plugs, they were worn out and smelled pretty gassey. Any thoughts? The pickup has 220k miles on it. But has been well taken care of. It seems like the engine is flooding,one odd thing is when I turn key to on, the fuel pump turns on like normal, but when I turn key off, the fuel pump turns on again. I'm not sure if that is normal operation or not.

[@stxrynn]

Thanks for the info. I remember hearing about crossing the legs, but couldn't remember where. My 99 5.7 Vortec started easy and ran great after doing this today. Thanks for posting this.

Mannnnn, you made inserting those injectors into the cylinders look so easily. I tried to to this job last year on my 4.3L V6 Vortec and I broke one of the plastic tips off one of the injectors, so I had to return it to eBay and put my old one back in. Been driving it around nearly a year like that with a P0300 code constantly showing.

[@josealonso6568]

I know this video is old but I noticed that the new spider fuel regulator did not get hooked to any line at all, did it cause any issues when starting this engine with this new spider or the video is just for illustration purposes?

[@mikeydejon2148]

Did this make difference ?? I put new fuel pump n filter in I have no check engine lights. It misses at idle then smooths out barely any power misses up hills also

[@klowny1969]

Check your mass air flow sensor..they tend to go on these cars

[@nickwaywood2057]

Hey how does the white clip in the back of the injector plug go in?

[@superduty4556]

Man that's a clean engine bay. Nice work as always. Can we send audition tapes to become your lovely assistant? Hahaha

Great video! Thank you!

[@coolacadien]

I bought the AC Delco spider injectors 89060440 for my 96 Chevy c1500 5.7L and the instructions say “it is necessary to cross tube 5 over 7 and tube 4 over 2.”

[@XodarapEra]

What classifies the old ones as "mechanical" being that they are essentially "electronically controlled" ei the giant plug on top of them sending currents. I've never understood that.

Do you or would you need a special tool to remove the aftermarket injectors

[@randolphdominguez1236]

Yeah I understand the original one has two clips to pull the release but the new ones after you push them in how do you get them to release

[@XodarapEra]

Been wondering this same thing. The one I ordered comes with some orange tool I'm assuming would be used for getting them out. I'll update you when I receive it@@randolphdominguez1236

[@dennissytsma3561]

Golly looks like a ton of work, Good video. I am working my 1994 Astro van 4.3L V6 RPO L35 VIN W (1992-1995) CPI. In later years GM came out with CSFI. I assume in this video you replaced the CSFI with something newer, but what is the newer version that you installed called and what years used? Now people are going with Holly Sniper with intake and transmission controller but that is very expensive compared to what you did. Is there any way to convert the 1992-1995 Central Multiport Fuel Injection (CMFI) that most people call CPI and many mistaken thinking only one spider whereas there are three spider systems according to my research unless I am mistaken. Do you know how to convert from 1992-1995 CPI to the spider system that you show in this video? Godspeed.

[@klowny1969]

This is the mpfi upgrade to the csfi mechanical poppets

[@1970chevy]

I have a p0300 and a p0306. Replaced plugs wires cap rotor. The codes only come on after 65mph and goes off after a day on its own. Does not run funny like a misfire. Even with the check engine light on. Any help or info would be appreciated. 99 5.7 lower intake manifold gaskets replaced about 5yrs ago. With new stretch bolts.

[@deliciousness8183]

Did you replace the crank sensor?

[@bigcartoonyIIV]

I attempted to change mine last thursday. Now im getting a misfire code at cyl 4, fuel injector and mass airflow code, and its running terrible. I remember the new spider was hard to press in. any suggestions

When I try to push in the fuel lines to the injector block they won’t seat in properly they just push them selves back out. What am I doing wrong?

[@tubetime39]

Thanks please subscribe

[@Steve8587]

Excellent and many thanks. We did engine swap in sons 96 k1500 and did new spider injection. But it ran and popped in the intake bad. Lots tried but then we found the o-ring for spider wasn’t seated correctly, sprayed brake cleaner sound it snd engine died. The oil was a savior but also needed persuasion to stay seated. Then couldn’t get fuel lines in, but got it. We found bracket upside down too. Glad we got it right. It has long tubes now and loud, so not starting it at 11:30pm in the HOA neighborhood. Hope for tomorrow. Think this was issue with running bad and popping.

What to use to clean the intake gasket area? You audio was garbled when you were talking aboout that.

[@klowny1969]

Can use a little brake cleaner and a razor

@@klowny1969 I used throtle cleaner instead. Spider injector now sitting in place with intake manafold on top. Sitting about 1/4" above motor seat. Hoping to have good seal as I start installing the bolts.

I really hate these, and I think my 99 suburban has a plugged up #7 injector, or partially plugged, it doesn't seem to miss when you give it gas and it will get up and go, seems like no power loss, but I always have a miss fire in #7, and I've done cap, plug and wire. this is where I wish I kept my old TBI 5.7 lol
