I am in the reassembly process after installing an upgraded throttle body shaft and new rocker box seals. According to the manual . . .the leads from the harness to the fuel injectors are marked "Front" and "Rear" . . .I don't seem to be able to find the promised "marks". The leads are, however, color wrapped differently. One is pink the other is green. Anyone care of offer which color is the front injector lead?

Thanks in advance . .

Front: pink harness and red mark on the injector.
Rear: green harness and white mark on the injector.

...and the moral of the story is....?

Mark any colors you see, as you disassemble : )

. . . and/or verify the information provided in the maintenance manual is in fact accurate.

As it turned out I was able to verify Garrcano's information by checking the wiring diagram . . .it indicated that the connector with the yellow/white wire was the one for the front injector.

True enough.

Manual or no, if I'm unhooking more than one identical component on anything...both halves of every component get marked. Then I just line up my own marks on reassembly.

Touchup paint is your friend : )

Agreed! Taking some good photos isn't a bad idea either.
