I, 3, & 5 injectors and plugs are on the firewall side. 2, 4, & 6 are on the oil cap side. Mine had a pool of oil in the intake hose. Also had a lot of oil sucked into the intake manifold. I cleaned it all out and did the PCV orifice mod. Also cleaned the throttle body. The intake put up a fight coming out due to the long bolts in the rear. It put up an even greater fight going back in. In my case I just didn't have enough clearance to replace the rear intake bolts. For those having the same problem, I highly recommend jacking the vehicle up by the front cross frame member and placing it on jack stands. Let the vehicle rest on the jack stands but keep the jack under the cross member. Remove the six cross frame bolts on the bottom ( three on each side) below the condenser. This will allow the engine to rock forward/lower. You may have to lower the jack a little but it will give extra clearance in the rear to reinsert the rear intake bolts. I also snap the same hose, Think egg shell when handling it because it will snap just that easy.
Bro you just freaking helped me out so much!!! Up 2 in the morning looking for a video for this! Going out in 0 degrees to work on it now! Haha yes thanks!
Thanks for the video. My wife has an 08 enclave which has the exact same engine as your Acadia. Hers is idling really rough and I keep getting a code that says running to lean bank 2. I have replaced the spark plugs, catalytic converters, and O2 sensors so I am thanking about putting injectors in.
Taking the fuel cap off does not release the fuel pressure at all. You have to pull the fuel pump fuse or relay, start the car, and let it run till it shuts off. That debleats the fuel pressure.
one issue I have is a vacuum leak on 2009 Acadia. When I spray water on the bolts that hold the intake manifold, the idle changes pretty drastically so know that is part of my vacuum leak. I noticed that the grommets are missing on the bolts, could that be the issue for the leak there? I can't located where to buy these and the advanced auto guy was at a loss as well. Maybe I"m calling it the wrong name but the black sleeve that goes over the bolt. I"m replacing #4 coil and also getting P304 code for coil and also injector may be dirty. Says possible air leak on manifold or in the EGR or PCV.
Ey bro i had one problem with my acadia 2008 Its burning alot of crude gas and it smokes dark smoke I already change spark plugs coil pack change the map air and nothing I was thinking maybe a injector cleaner or may be a bad injector it smells like crude gas when I step on the gas all the way in dark smoke comes out of the exhaust what do you think looks like a injector its not burning gas correctly or something
@@100fredkrueger huh? Why are you replying to a year old comment? But nothing, your needs don't have a thing to do with my comment, and are completely irrelevant to me saving time for most people who found this video looking to change injectors, by posting when the actual content titled starts. Taking six bolts out to get the intake off isn't something anyone should need directions for anyways, let alone shouldn't take 20 minutes. You've wasted my time by replying, just like you wasted your time throwing parts and money at your vehicle. It's most likely a vacuum leak causing your issue.

So the oil in the air intake was from a injector
I've ran into oil in the intakes many times!!

Commonly there are injector wires under the power steering reservoir bracket and they rub through and ground the injector

Did this work?

Thanks for the video. I intend to replace injectors someday. How are manifold intakes look so cleaned?
If your dropping bolts u should put your oil filler cap back on...
Was nervous seeing that opened at the end....bad idea
This was very fucking helpful thank for taking the time to do this video, you just helped me save thousands of dollars $$$
Did it fix your misfire on cylinder 3?
Awesome video. Do you recommend replacing the high pressure intermediate fuel feed pipe?
It is a helpful video
I got a 2010 3.6 V6.... with Direct Injection. Currently 16 mpg. Please send me prayers
This video is great to take them off. Need help putting them back on.
Sick a great vid. Thanks for your help
Hello ,shouldn’t you first disconnect the Fuel pump Relay and even the battery?
Thanks
You did not show re-installation of all six injectors.

you can try to put a little glob of RTV black just under the head of the intake bolts. its like a "cheap fix"
On a 2010 Acadia one of the rails goes into a grove and is a pain to take out. Putting the injectors on first will not work.

Thank you
What are the torque specs for the intake manifold
Should’ve just use liquid Molly 2030 it’s the perfect fuel cleaner
Did you fix your cylinder 3 misfire by replacing the injector?
Would also like to know
The 3.6 is very well known for #3 misfire caused by a burnt, or sticking, valves. The fuel injector is not the root cause.
@@davidduke7531 Good stuff man! thank you, I am dealing with cylinder #3 misfire...
What is the root cause??
i have a 2008 gmc acadia slt and i have a code po1174 on bank2 is this injector number 2 is this the one i change
How many injectors the car have
Did you unplug the negative cable from the battery?
simonem2006 I didn’t but you can for extra safety
Does this apply to a 2009 gmc Acadia?
I cant find a video about it.

There you go if you still need it!
20:34 he finally gets the intake off and starts the work on the injector
But he is showing how to take everything apart. I don’t know how to do it so it’s helpful to me.
