Fuel & Ignition System Requirements

Running a dual-injection Gen 3 Coyote requires specialized engine management and serious fuel pressure.

• You must run a high-volume electric fuel pump capable of feeding the mechanical direct-injection pump on the engine.
• Requires the Ford Performance Control Pack or a compatible standalone ECU to drive the variable cam timing and dual injectors.

Installation, Break-In Oil & Priming Instructions

Protect your complex DOHC valvetrain by following strict Ford factory startup procedures.

• Use a pressurized oil tank connected to the block galley to push oil through the timing chain tensioners before hitting the starter.
• Run a high-quality 5W-20 synthetic blend break-in oil for the first 500 miles to seat the piston rings properly.
