Replacing the fuel injectors on a 2005 Nissan Altima is a complex task that requires removing the air intake ductwork and several wiring harnesses. The process can be completed in under an hour, but putting everything back together takes longer. It is important to remove the intake manifold, the air intake and vent hose, the wiring harness for the coils, the PVC hose on the front side of the air intake manifold, and the fuel injector wiring harness to gain sufficient access to the fuel rail and injectors.

What You'll Learn
Disconnect the fuel pump and fuel lines
To disconnect the fuel pump and fuel lines on a 2005 Nissan Altima, you will need to remove the air intake ductwork and a couple of wiring harnesses. This will give you sufficient access to the fuel rail and injectors.
You will need to remove four things: the air intake and vent hose; the wiring harness for the coils, including disconnecting everything after the coils (cam sensor, coolant temp sensor, OS sensor, throttle body connection and purge volume control value plug); the PVC hose on the front side of the air intake manifold; and the fuel injector wiring harness.
You should also purge the fuel lines of any fuel by removing the fuse and cranking.
Once you have access to the fuel rail, you can remove it to access and replace the fuel injectors.

Remove the air intake ductwork
To remove the air intake ductwork of a Nissan Altima 2.5L (2012-2018), you will need to disconnect the fuel pump and fuel lines and remove the fuel rail to access and remove, inspect, and replace the fuel injectors.
Firstly, you will need to remove the air intake and vent hose, as well as the wiring harness for the coils. This includes disconnecting everything after the coils, such as the cam sensor, coolant temp sensor, OS sensor, throttle body connection, and purge volume control value plug.
Next, you will need to remove the PVC hose on the front side of the air intake manifold. After this, you can remove the fuel injector wiring harness, giving you free access to the fuel rod and injectors.
It is important to note that removing the air intake ductwork is only one part of the process of replacing the fuel injectors. Other steps include purging the fuel lines of any fuel by removing the fuse and cranking, removing the upper intake plenum, unplugging electrical connectors, and removing screws.
Additionally, it is recommended to cover the valve train with a lintless cloth while removing and installing the fuel rail and injectors, as this can make the project faster and reduce the chance of dropping or losing parts.

Remove the fuel rail
To remove the fuel rail, you will first need to remove the air intake ductwork and a couple of wiring harnesses. This will give you sufficient access to the fuel rail and injectors. You will then need to disconnect the fuel pump and fuel lines.
To disconnect the wiring harnesses, you will need to remove the following:
- Air intake and vent hose
- Wiring harness for the coils, including disconnecting everything after the coils (cam sensor, coolant temp sensor, OS sensor, throttle body connection, and purge volume control value plug)
- PVC hose on the front side of the air intake manifold
- Fuel injector wiring harness (just enough to give free access to the fuel rod and injectors)
It is also recommended that you cover the valve train with a lintless cloth while you remove/install the fuel rail and injectors. This will make the project much faster and reduce the chance of dropping or losing parts and pieces.

Next, you will need to remove the following four things:
- The air intake and vent hose
- The wiring harness for the coils, including disconnecting everything after the coils (cam sensor, coolant temp sensor, OS sensor, throttle body connection, and purge volume control value plug)
- The PVC hose on the front side of the air intake manifold
- The fuel injector wiring harness (just enough to give free access to the fuel rod and injectors)
Once you have removed these components, you will have access to the valve cover. You can then remove the valve cover by unscrewing the bolts that secure it in place.
It is important to note that removing the valve cover is just one step in the process of replacing the fuel injectors. Other steps include disconnecting the fuel pump and fuel lines, removing the fuel rail, and inspecting and replacing the fuel injectors.

Blow out the injector ports
To blow out the injector ports, you will need to remove the valve cover and cover the valve train with lintless cloth. This will make the project much faster and reduce the chance of dropping or losing parts and pieces. You should do this before removing the injectors, as it will clear out the usual garbage and crap that collects in hidden spaces.
To replace the fuel injectors on a 2005 Nissan Altima, you will need to remove four things to get sufficient access to the fuel rail and injectors. These include the air intake and vent hose, wiring harness for the coils, including disconnecting everything after the coils (cam sensor, coolant temp sensor, OS sensor, throttle body connection and purge volume control value plug), PVC hose on the front side of the air intake manifold, and the fuel injector wiring harness (just enough to give free access to the fuel rod and injectors).
You will also need to remove the upper intake plenum and unplug electrical connectors and remove screws. Then, pull really hard and pop the injector off. You may need to use a thin flathead to help pry.
