Love 1As parts and videos!! Been buying parts from them for years and never had an issue… Ty you guys👌🏾

[@timbaisden6600]

This is very well done. I spend most of my time swearing at youtube videos about car repairs because they talk for 10 minutes before they start and then don't explain what they said they would explain. I subscribed.

[@MiikeGibson]

fantastic video. I have a 3100 SFI Malibu, and this tutorial helped me out a lot. Although some parts on my car were a little different than the engine you were working on, I was able to gather all the steps I needed to replace my faulty fuel injector. Now my misfire is fixed, and my car will pass emissions. THANK YOU

Actually it's applicable to any GM vehicle with the 3.4L, or even 3.1L motors since they are very similar in design for this kind of service.

[@charlesdavidmurphy4057]

Thanks I haven't done this in so many years - I practically had to relearn everything. I couldn't remember. Looks like My Photographic Memory is damaged. Thanks again! CDM.

[@davidjames666]

Whenever working with the fuel system, the negative ground on the battery should be disconnected prior to starting the job. Also there is never anything wrong with refilling with fresh coolant - especially the green stuff who's anti corrosive properties diminish after only 2 years for aluminum engines.

[@Vistal11]

And why wouldn't you do all the injectors? Makes 0 sence.

[@joshcruz7912]

It is the pcv valve ! Thanks for the reply! Y'all have a video of changing one !

[@1AAuto]

+Josh Cruz We currently do not have an auto repair video on how to change the PCV valve on this particular vehicle. Thanks for asking.

[@joshcruz7912]

No...I was saying...y'all have a video on changing the pcv valve for a Monte Carlo I believe ...it's basically the same part ! Thanx for all the helpful videos

[@alejandramaldonadopantoja9829]

Muy bien explicado amigo!.

[@chariceperez5262]

What is the white line you removed by the fuel injectors pressure sensor

[@nunezboy97]

What is that you took off between the intake and the coil pack????????????????

[@paulepling]

Are both fuel rails the same in these? Or are they designed to be different?

[@dereckc9469]

do you have a part number for that coolant pipe that runs under the fuel rail? thanks

[@Haris122]

How did you guys get the fuel rail loosened enough to easily remove the fuel injectors that are closest towards the right side where the two pipes lead downward, if you don't mind me asking? Btw, thanks, very helpful video.

[@1AAuto]

+Haris122 Thank you for checking us out. Once the surrounding bolts are loosened you may use a pry bar to help move the fuel rail out of the way to get the injectors removed. 1aauto.com

[@Haris122]

Yeah I meant after that actually. I had trouble because of the pipes/lines going to the fuel rail not giving me much play towards injectors 5 and 6 to take them out, since they were secured someplace below. I mean I couldn't lift the fuel rail as high as you guys were able to. But in the end I got it out still. Thanks again for the helpful video.

[@bradleymasters1432]

Thank u for posting

[@MusicMania248]

Hi there 1A Auto! I was just curious - did you replace all the fuel injectors on this particular Grand Am GT? Because from what I've learned, if your going to replace one fuel injector, you might as well replace them all. If you run the car with only one new fuel injector and the others not up the same performance, it can cause MANY problems down the road. So did you guys? Thanks!

[@1AAuto]

It wouldn't hurt to replace them all while your already in there doing the job.

[@MrNotorius5500]

lexmarks567 Perhaps, but generic stuff tends to crap out after a short time. And considering whats involved in getting to the injectors in a 3.4l, it's overall better to buy OEM.

[@sherlynromero5140]

Does this apply to 04 grand prix

[@lokito8224]

thanks sir.

[@paulepling]

at 3:34 and 3:57, what hoses are those?

[@franka-pn7wi]

Won't show video install injector how reset ?

[@patrickmacalalad3579]

Hi were you using a 1/4 drive ratchet the whole time? Thanks

[@1AAuto]

Yes we used a 1/4 drive in parts of this video

[@fernesal]

I have a 1996 Grand Am 3.1 And it throws a code about cilinder 2 misfiring. I changed the coil pack for that cilinder, the sparkplug, and the cable. But it keeps misfiring that cilinder. Now I'm blaming the fuel injector. What do you think? It's a pain in the butt to change them. Should it be the fuel injector?

[@ryanthedolphin]

Use seafoam, could be a dirty injector and that might help. But it sounds like its a fuel injector probelm. I would change the rest of the coils and spark plugs and all fuel injectors if you can

[@benfoxs6666]

what is the round cylinder like copper pipe on the fuel Rod by the engine wall that doesn't go to anything?

[@AutOdometer]

What time mark is it? I just did this job, filmed it, and put it on KZbin.

[@ewok89209]

I have a 2001 chevy malibu with a 3100 sfi v6 and there's a leak coming from one of the fuel rails the bolt squirts fuel,when I put the key on acc/on. I took video to see where it's coming from.

[@purplebatman9950]

Did this repair and followed it as close as I could. Engine turns over but won't start. Any ideas?

[@madeinmadein1824]

Probably you put the spark plug wires in the wrong order or maybe you forgot to reconnect some wires that goes to the fuel injectors And finally check all the hoses and make sure they’re all connected back in place. I hope this will help you

[@johnhearn9720]

at about 9:30 he mentions a gasket pack. I could not find on the website. 2004 Grand Am with 3.4L. I know one injector is bad. Should replace all? which Gaskets do I need?

[@1AAuto]

+John Hearn Here is a list of gaskets that we carry for your vehicle goo.gl/o9dJiK

[@thinkuncagrizzthinktv7975]

...would i have to replace the intake gaskets....i plan on replacing my fuel injectors on my 2002 Pontiac Montana....

[@1AAuto]

+J.J. “Grizz” Pinckney If you perform this repair and remove the intake you should replace the gaskets. Thank you for watching. 1aauto.com

[@joshcruz7912]

Someone plzzzz help ! @ 1:23 he disconnected a hose...what is the name for this hose? I have a 2005 Chevy equinox basically the same build as this vehicle...the problem I'm having is sometimes ,randomly, this rubber piece on this hose comes off and make my car jerk when my foot is on the brake and I'm in drive...when I put the rubber hose back on The car idles correctly. The only thing I can guess is it has to do with the gas line...

[@SlimeyEel]

The hose is connected to the PCV valve. The Primary Crankcase Ventilation valve is the little piece that goes into the valve cover. It's purpose is to use engine vacuum to burn the vapors and gases that are produced in the engine while it's running. If the valve comes out of the Valve Cover, then you essentially have a vacuum leak in your engine that the engine cannot compensate for.. Replace the rubber grommet that the valve goes into on the valve cover should solve your problem.

[@am529]

That is the PCV valve hose. When it comes disconnected it causes a relatively large vacuum leak. You might have to put a zip tie or similar around the bottom of the rubber piece to keep it from popping off. That's what I did on my sister's car.

[@jonathanpearson5640]

Josh Cruz I need that same peice for my 02 impala

[@jonathanpearson5640]

Josh Cruz 3.4ltr

[@pedroorozco9619]

Jonathan Pearson what's going on with your Chevy Impala I have a 03 Impala tryna figure why it's misfiring

[@thematthatter13]

I have a 2000 3.4l grand am. I am getting a p0201 code. I have changed all the spark plugs and wires (about a month ago prior to this comment) But I have not changed the coil packs. Do you guys think I need to change my first fuel injector? If that is a yes, since I will already be in the engine I might as well change all the fuel injectors.

[@1AAuto]

+Matt Tomshe That code points to a cylinder 1 miss fire. You might want to try changing the coil packs. A lot of times a coil will go bad and then foul a couple of spark plugs. We carry replacement coil packs for your vehicle. Here is a link to them. Hope this helps you out goo.gl/spqFpL

[@thematthatter13]

Thank you so much @1A auto. I did some more research both today and last night after this video. Today during my fill up I added some SeaFoam and I plan on replacing the coil pack and the wire for Spark plug 1. I have had to pull the wire off a decent amount the past couple of weeks for various tests. Thank you very much again.

[@That_3g_tl]

my check engine light came on for a cylinder 4 misfire, it read that it was a fuel injector, do I have to replace the intake gasket? we just replaced them like a month ago.

[@1AAuto]

You might be able to re-use it if it's in good shape

[@That_3g_tl]

Alright cool. I just spent almost 200 on all of that so I got scared.

[@callidus5586]

once again, I'll never complain about paying for labor.

[@AutOdometer]

Took me 3 hours I think. And it was the first time I did it.

[@yeddie954lib7]

Can you make a video for the 3100 engine

[@johnnywooten6392]

Same way my 3100 looks actually the same as this

[@Ttown520az]

how do you know when you should replace your fuel injectors ?

[@1AAuto]

You pretty much just replace an injector if it's stopped working. They're not something that gets changed out routinely. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com?KZbin&CTA%20Comment&ATony 866-403-3393

[@ajz1015]

If Im just replacing the fuel injectors, do I need the new gasket kit mentioned in the video?

[@1AAuto]

+AJZ Yeah, you'll still need the gasket kit because you'll need to replace those other gaskets anyway. You don't want to reuse any of them if you can avoid it. Hope this helps you out. For anyone else who might be doing this job, we carry the parts shown in the video on our website. Order from us and we'll cover the shipping. Here's a link: www.1aauto.com/1A/fuel-injectors/Pontiac/GrandAm/1AEEK00482?KZbin&CTA%20Comment&ATony

[@MechaBowser369]

Is this the same for a Pontiac aztek? 2003

[@1AAuto]

+MechaBowser369 Thank you for checking us out. The process should be similar, although for the Aztek model some pieces may be different in the replacement procedure. 1aauto.com

[@yawasap5110]

you skip the step of releasing fuel pressure before pull injector off the rail

[@Vostok999]

There's hardly any pressure in the line when the vehicle is off. As soon as the system is open to air about a pint or less of unpressurized fuel will just leak out and evaporate, no biggie.

[@AutOdometer]

yeah I replaced mine and did have to do that. I made a video on it too

[@p.g.8138]

I broke one of the metal clips that go above the fuel injector. Do you sell those clips?

[@1AAuto]

+Paul Griswold Thanks for watching, but unfortunately we do not sell those clips. 1aauto.com

[@eriks6200]

Just gave it a thought: Might as well change the spark plugs while you are at it.. The rear 3 are not fun..

[@1AAuto]

+Erik S That's true! Always a good opportunity to replace a part when replacing another

[@jcharles1470]

Hi....why did you do that??.....just teaching?....thanks a lot.

[@mcsew2k]

I have a misfire code P0302; it misfires at idle, no load high rpm, and under load. Pulling all other plug wires nearly stalls the engine, but pulling number two there is no change. I put in new plugs and wires, and I swapped coil packs around. Compression test ranges from 118 to 122 psi with cylinder two is the highest. I swapped fuel injectors around and installed new upper plenum gaskets. Sprayed starting fluid all around the intake manifold. Misfire still there and consistent on cylinder two. Nothing is telling me what is the problem. What is the problem? Can anyone give me more ideas?

[@blackeneddaylight2851]

5:55 , It's the lower radiator petcock. their lack of knowledge of an engine both concerns and hurts me

[@angelisguerra9151]

Can you help me with my car? It's a 2000 Pontiac Grand am. When you turn it on the car and start going all of the dashboard lights turn on except for the check engine and security ones. What could be the cause or how can I fix this? I will really appreciate your help. Thanks

[@bigmike1962]

This is too much work for me to do especially since I am not even sure that the fuel injectors are even the issue. Excellent video, however mate

[@1AAuto]

+big mike Thank you for the feedback!

[@AutOdometer]

Yeah you want to make sure it is the fuel injectors for sure before doing this.

[@MrElvisbeza]

Why does GM make their engine so hard to work on, spark plugs should be a easy for beginners but nope, you gotta reach ALL the way back of the engine to reach the last 3
