The injectors come out easy.

Take off the cover and remove all the bolts on the top the intake 6-7 of them and one nut, so the harness and the throttle cable mounts are loose. Were the fuel lines come to the fuel rail on the drivers side you take out the torx screws 15T i think and remove the Little retainer plates. do the same on the passenger side and remove cross tube. Don't lose the O-rings,3 of them.

2 torx screws hold each fuel rail in place, remove them. remove the wiring harness from the injectors. There is a grey retainer on each plug. The retainer unclasps from the wire, tip it to the side and pull it up out of the connector. Once pulled out,pinchthe release tab of the connector to pull off the plug. once all the injector wiring is gone the rail with the injectors pulls out. O-rings is all that hold them in, clips hold the injectors on the rail.....

See, easy.

they clean the injectors in-place with the engine running nowdays so don't pull them to take to the dealer....

Throttle cable??? oops, I forgot that you have an 02.

I had a terraclean service done on mine last year. It seems to be running good at 106,000 but now I'm curious about how well that stuff really worked. Thanks for the info on how to pull the injectors if I get that bored and decide to look into it.
