Supercharger Replacement
Supercharger ReplacementRemoval Procedure
Caution Remove the fuel tank cap and relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing the fuel system in order to reduce the risk of personal injury. After you relieve the fuel system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when servicing the fuel lines, the fuel injection pump, or the connections. In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, cover the fuel system components with a shop towel before disconnection. This will catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the towel in an approved container when the disconnection is complete.
Notice: Servicing of the supercharger unit itself is limited to replacement only. No attempt should be made to disassemble the supercharger, as parts damage may result.
Caution Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in Service Precautions.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the fuel injector sight shield.
3. Remove the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve heat shield nut, bolt and heat shield.
4. Remove the supercharger drive belt.
5. Remove the right spark plug wires from the ignition control module and reposition.
6. Remove the generator brace.
7. Remove the MAP sensor bracket.
8. Relieve the fuel pressure.
9. Remove the fuel rail assembly.
10. Remove the boost control solenoid.
11. Disconnect the vacuum lines from the following:
