2010 MKS-T Flashing CEL and Missing

Pic link updated and I did a couple of WOT hits this morning and it pulls clean like a freight train, feels better than it did when I 1st got it actually. I'm sure the 29* temps were aiding that some but no hiccups and no CEL !

Great news!

The cold sure does help it feel nice, mine pulls hard as hell in below freezing temps, but I don't do it often because it takes so long for the transmission to warm up and I fear spinning haha
 
Glad you got her running great now.
Really good pics of the valves. How was it removing the intake manifold?
Media blasting the intake valves is on my to do list durning the cold months.
 
Thanks !

Glock the removal wasnt bad at all, hardest part were the clamps on the heater hoses lol. Next time I should be able to remove the intake in 30mins or so. I was surprised considering how complex under the hood looks.


I researched here for a while to get an idea of what was involved to do this job so figured from what I gathered Id put it here for those who may need to do this at some point.


For those curious how to remove intake:

* Disconnect battery
* Remove lower air dam to get access to radiator drain plug (Driver side)
* Drain Coolant
* Disconnect all sensor plugs attached to intake
* Remove top boost tube
* Remove TB to IC tube
* Remove top portion of air cleaner assembly
* Disconnect both radiator hoses going into intake Driver/Pass side
* Disconnect 2 large heater hoses and 2 smaller hose (Driver side rear)
* Remove 12 intake bolts
* loosen the right main wire harness so you can slide the intake under it
* Give it a good tug to free it and maneuver it out


Removing the injectors in addition to the above:

* 17mm wrench to loosen pump flare nut at pump and 2 at rails
* Use rag to capture fuel that will come out under pressure
* Remove 1 bolt holding HPFP rail to valve cover then remove rail
* Remove the 6 bolts holding each fuel rail on depending on which inj your replacing
* Lightly wiggle till you arms hurt and eventually the rail will come out
* Remove the clip on top of injector, it slides out the side
* The injectors will require you to turn back and fourth while pulling up to free them from head
* Installing Inj requires a dab of oil on top O rings, do not put anything on bottom Teflon seal
* Install into head 1st then gently wiggle fuel rail onto all injectors till the rail seats and re-install everything above
