I'm working on my 1983 XJS and need to remove the fuel injector wiring harness. So far I have the throttle cable and linkages undone, the fuel rail off, and the harness mostly out, but it cannot fit under my AC compressor. How can I get it out without damaging it or anything else?

 

lf i were you l would remove the AC compressor. l would also do the front 2 spark plugs and coil to coil wires ''while i was there''.

Cheers AOI

 

I agree with AOI except to say that you don't have to remove the A/C compressor. Just just need to move it.

Remove the two rear mounting bolts and loosen the two front bolts then tilt the rear the compressor upward for access to all things below it. Block it in this position while you work.

I might add that once you get it out, check it over well and see if a new one needs to be made. Its not hard to do. also, remove all possible wires from inside the V and run the injector harness up out of the V
