BOSCH 0261500298
High Pressure Fuel Injector Ford Mustang Focus RS Explorer Lincoln MKC 2.3L EcoBoost EJ7Z 9F593 A FJ1216
EJ7Z-9F593-A, EJ7G-9F593-AA, 0261500105, FJ1216, CM5238--200 bar peak rail pressureProduct Overview
The BOSCH 0261500298 is a precision automotive OE replacement component engineered specifically for Ford 2.3L EcoBoost Turbocharged DOHC 16V powertrains. Designed to deliver consistent calibration and factory-specified fuel atomization, this unit restores original throttle response, diagnostic rail pressure stability, and emission compliance.
Always verify the OE reference EJ7Z9F593A, EJ7G9F593AA, FJ1216, CM5238 stamped on your existing injector body before ordering; confirm the engine code and injector part number on the unit body both match your vehicle before unsealing the packaging. 0261500298 needs no ECU calibration coding; no code transfer is required after fitting.

Matched High-Pressure Fuel Pump (Fuel Circuit Assembly)
Operates on the same high-pressure rail circuit. When troubleshooting low rail pressure (DTC P0087), verify pump volumetric delivery before replacing injectors.
Installation Tips
- Depressurize the fuel system completely via diagnostic scan tool or by removing the fuel pump fuse prior to line disassembly.
- Clean all surrounding bracket areas thoroughly using residue-free brake cleaner to prevent abrasive particulate ingress.
- Inspect the mechanical camshaft lobe and roller follower or clean injector bore seating surfaces before hardware alignment.
- Install component using fresh factory O-rings or Teflon combustion chamber seals lubricated only with clean motor oil.
- Torque mounting flange fasteners in alternating increments to 15 N-m (11 lb-ft).
- Torque high-pressure hydraulic tube fittings using a calibrated flare nut wrench to 28 N-m (21 lb-ft).
- Prime low-pressure fuel circuit, cycle ignition key 3-4 times, and inspect for high-pressure hydraulic leaks before road test.
- Always replace single-use high-pressure metal fuel lines and micro-filter seals whenever disconnected.
- Verify camshaft driving lobe surfaces for scoring or flat spots before installing any mechanical pump.
- Reset long-term and short-term fuel trim adaptations via OBD-II diagnostic scanner after physical replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will part 0261500298 fit my Ford, and how can I verify the old injector?
0261500298 is a gasoline direct-injection injector listed for Ford Mustang 2.3 EcoBoost (2015–2023), Focus RS (2016–2018), and Explorer 2.3 (2016–2023) in the Ford 2.0L & 2.3L EcoBoost DOHC 16V GTDI Twin-Scroll Turbo engine family. Listed cross references are 0261500298, EJ7Z9F593A, EJ7G9F593AA, 0261500105, FJ1216, and CM5238. Compare those numbers with the old unit and confirm exact fitment against the vehicle’s EPC before ordering.
What diagnostic trouble codes are listed for this injector?
The listed DTCs are P0300, P0301, P0087, P0302, and P0304. These are diagnostic references only in the supplied facts; confirm the full diagnostic procedure and code interpretation against the vehicle’s EPC/service information.
What system pressure and torque specs apply to this injector?
The listed system pressure is 200 bar. Mounting/hold-down torque is 15 N·m, and high-pressure line torque is 28 N·m. Confirm any additional installation steps against the vehicle’s EPC.
Do I need coding/adaptation or new seals?
The supplied facts do not list coding/adaptation requirements or seal-reuse guidance for this gasoline direct-injection injector. Confirm both against the vehicle’s EPC before installation.
