Hey so I recently been trying to figure out where is cylinder four fuel injector on a 2008 dodge avenger 6 cylinder 2.7. Can anyone help me out with this?

 

[Intrepid]

This is the firing order for the 2.7:

Front of vehicle also indicates front of engine.


So the injector will be above cylinder 6 on the fuel rail:

2.7L

​

​

FUEL RAIL REMOVEL/INSTALL

1. Release fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel System Pressure Release Procedure in this group.
2. Disconnect negative cable to battery.
3. Remove intake manifold.
4. Cover intake manifold to prevent foreign material from entering engine.
5. Disconnect fuel supply tube quick connect fittings at the rear of intake manifold. Refer to Quick Connect Fittings in the Fuel Delivery Section.
6. If the injector connectors are not tagged with their cylinder number, tag them to identify the correct cylinder
7. Remove electrical connectors from the fuel injectors.
8. Remove fuel rail mounting bolts.
9. Lift fuel rail straight up off of the cylinder head.

​

​

FUEL INJECTOR AND RAIL

1. Remove retaining clips from fuel injectors at fuel rail.
2. Remove fuel injectors.
3. Repeat for remaining injectors.
4. Check injector O-ring for damage. If O-ring is damaged, it must be replaced. Replace the injector clip if it is damaged.

Do I necessarily have to disconnect the negative battery cable?

 

[Intrepid]

Yes, they recommend it. Just disconnect at the jump post. You don't have to go down to the battery.

FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE

WARNING

The fuel system is under constant pressure even with engine off. Until the fuel pressure has been properly relieved from the system, do not attempt to open the fuel system. Do not smoke or use open flames/sparks when servicing the fuel system. Wear protective clothing and eye protection. Make sure the area in which the vehicle is being serviced is in a well ventilated area.

A separate fuel pump relay is no longer used. A circuit within the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) is used to control the electric fuel pump located within the fuel pump module.

1. Remove fuel fill cap.
2. Remove lower rear seat cushion.

​

1. Remove the fuel pump module cover (1).

​

FUEL PUMP MODULE CONNECTION

1. Disconnect electrical connector (2) form fuel pump module (1).
2. Start and run engine until it stalls.
3. Attempt to restarting engine a few times until the engine will no longer start.
4. Turn ignition key to OFF position.
5. Disconnect negative battery cable.
6. Place a shop towel below and disconnect the fuel line quick-connect fitting (3) at fuel pump module (1).

NOTE

After servicing the fuel system, one or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) may have been stored in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory due to disconnecting fuel pump module circuit. A diagnostic scan tool must be used to erase a DTC.
