The CMFI or CSFI unit precisely controls fuel delivery to the engine, located centrally in the lower intake manifold. Key differences include the CMFI system with an adjustable aluminum air intake plenum and a single non-serviceable fuel injector unit, while the CSFI system has a non-adjustable air intake plenum, six individually controlled fuel injectors, and incorporates a Mass Air Flow sensor. The PCM monitors various engine parameters via sensors and energizes the fuel pump briefly upon ignition. Fuel is supplied by a high-pressure electric pump in the fuel tank, regulated by a fuel pressure regulator. The throttle valve controls air flow, with additional air regulated by the Idle Air Control valve. Fuel is supplied to cylinders through tubes with poppet nozzles. Upper intake manifold removal involves multiple steps, including disconnecting the battery, relieving fuel pressure, removing components, and disconnecting various connectors and hoses. Installation is the reverse of removal. The CMFI and CSFI fuel injection units are removed following a similar process, involving battery disconnection, fuel pressure relief, and removal of related components. Fuel injectors are checked and replaced if needed. The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve controls idle speed and is checked for resistance and operation. Removal and installation steps are provided, including resetting the IAC valve. The intake manifold tuning valve (CMFI) is checked and replaced as needed. Fuel injector replacement (CSFI) includes removing and reinstalling the fuel meter body. The fuel pressure regulator (CSFI) is replaced following specific steps, including O-ring replacement. Throttle body removal and installation (CSFI) involves disconnecting various components and ensuring proper cable operation. Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) checks are detailed, and replacement steps include backprobing, mounting screw removal, and proper alignment during installation.

Reinstall the air cleaner housing assembly, adapter, and gaskets, and attach the battery cable. To remove the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve, unplug its electrical connector and use an adjustable wrench to remove the valve. Remove and discard the old IAC valve gasket, clean the throttle body surface, and check the pintle dimensions. Adjust the pintle if necessary and install the new gasket before reinstalling the IAC valve and securing it to the specified torque. Reconnect the electrical connector and install the air cleaner housing assembly, adapter, and gaskets. For the Fuel Meter Body Assembly, unplug the electrical connectors from the fuel injectors and remove the fuel meter cover/pressure regulator assembly, gaskets, and seals. Remove the fuel injectors, unscrew the fuel inlet and return line threaded fittings, and detach the lines, removing the O-rings. Remove the fuel inlet and outlet nuts and gaskets, then install a new throttle body-to-fuel meter body gasket and place the fuel meter body assembly on the throttle body. Coat the fuel meter body-to-throttle body attaching screws with thread locking compound before tightening them. Install the fuel inlet and outlet nuts with new gaskets, the fuel inlet and return line threaded fittings with new O-rings, and check for leaks. Reinstall the air cleaner housing assembly, adapters, and gaskets. Finally, for the Throttle Body Assembly, unplug all electrical connectors, detach the throttle linkage, return spring(s), transmission control cable (automatics), and cruise control if equipped, and label and detach vacuum hoses. Using a backup wrench, remove the inlet and outlet fuel line nuts and remove the fuel line O-rings, followed by the TBI mounting bolts to lift the TBI unit from the intake manifold, removing and discarding the TBI manifold gasket. Place the TBI unit on a holding fixture if available or be cautious if working directly on a workbench. Remove the fuel meter body-to-throttle body attaching screws, the old throttle body-to-fuel meter body gasket, the TPS, and invert the throttle body to remove the IAC valve. Clean the throttle body assembly, inspect mating surfaces, and reinstall the IAC valve and TPS. Install a new throttle body-to-fuel meter body gasket and place the fuel meter body assembly on the throttle body, securing it with thread locking compound on the attaching screws. Install the TBI unit with a new TBI-to-manifold gasket and new O-rings on the fuel line nuts. Reattach vacuum hoses, throttle linkage, return spring(s), transmission control cable (automatics), cruise control cable, and the grommet with wire harness to the throttle body. Plug in all electrical connectors, connect the negative battery cable, and check for fuel leaks with the engine off and the ignition on. Adjust the minimum idle speed and check the TPS output. Reinstall the air cleaner housing assembly, adapter, and gaskets to complete the maintenance procedures.

To perform various maintenance procedures on the throttle body assembly, first, relieve fuel pressure and disconnect the battery's negative terminal. When working on the fuel injector, unplug its electrical connector, remove the injector retainer screw, and carefully pry it out, replacing upper and lower O-rings after removal. Inspect the fuel injector filter and check for dirt in fuel lines and the tank. Install a new O-ring lubricated with transmission fluid, ensuring proper placement. Push the injector assembly straight into the fuel injector cavity, aligning the electrical connector end. Secure it with a threaded locking compound on the retainer screw. Afterward, reinstall the air cleaner housing assembly, adapter, and gaskets, checking for fuel leaks with the engine off and the ignition on.
