Before we dive into the replacement process, let's first understand what your Saturn Vue needs. To determine which fuel injector is suitable for your vehicle, consider the make, model, and engine size. For 2003 models, this could be a 2.2L L61, 2.4L BAS hybrid, 3.0L L81, or 3.5L L66 engine.

Tools Needed:

2. Relieve Fuel System Pressure: Allow the pressure in the fuel system to release before proceeding.

3. Remove Intake Manifold and Unplug Electrical Connectors: Remove the intake manifold and unplug the fuel injector electrical connectors.

6. Lubricate New Fuel Injector O-Rings: Apply clean engine oil to the new fuel injector O-rings.
