very simple.its located near the rear on the drivers side.you may need to jack your car up a little to get to it but from there its self explanatory.

Make sure you pull the fuse to the fuel pump or disconnect the battery.

Why?

The ignition is off and the pump isn't going to run w/it like that. Just hit the pressure release on the fuel rail (looks like a valve stem end) and you're good to go.

I just did mine yesterday for the !st time,i know that's just wrong but it's just something I didn't think much about.I checked out the instructions on www.installuniversity.com and it was a piece of cake ! The prep & clean up time took much longer than the actual install. I've heard every 10,000 miles is good
