I'm in the process of removing the intake manifold on my 2003 stype 4.2L non turbo to replace the valley hose. I've run into a problem with disconnecting the fuel line from the fuel rail in that I don't understand the connection between the two? If you can describe the fix, I'd appreciate it. I didn't want to continue and damage those parts.
Thanks,
Bob


The fuel line leading to the fuel rail on the driver's side of the engine. LH drive


The mystery connection. I don't know what I'm seeing here?

Fuel line removed

Got the correct tool from Auto Zone - Loaner

The silver 1/2" tool on the left didn't fit, so I used the green plastic tool.

 

Nice write up as always....keep plugging away, you will be a jaguar mechanic in no time
