(b) When connecting the flare nut or union bolt on the high
pressure pipe union, observe the following procedures:
(1) Union Bolt Type:
Always use 2 new gaskets.
(2) Union Bolt Type:
Tighten the union bolt by hand.
(3) Union Bolt Type:
Tighten the union bolt to the specified torque.
Torque: 29 N·m (300 kgf·cm, 22 ft·lbf)
(4) Flare Nut Type:
Apply a light coat of engine oil to the flare nut, and
tighten the flare nut by hand.
(5) Flare Nut Type:
Using SST, tighten the flare nut to specified torque.
SST 09631−22020
NOTICE:
Do not rotate the fuel pipe, when tightening the flare nut.
Torque: 34 N·m (350 kgf·cm, 25 ft·lbf)
28 N·m (285 kgf·cm, 21 ft·lbf) for SST
HINT:
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).
(c) Observe the following precautions when removing and
installing the injectors.
(1) Never reuse the O−ring.
(2) When placing a new O−ring on the injector, take
care not to damage it in any way.
(3) Coat a new O−ring with spindle oil or gasoline be-
fore installing−never use engine, gear or brake oil.
(4) Install the injector to the delivery pipe and intake
manifold as shown in the illustration.

ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT IAC VALVE OPERATION
(a) Initial conditions:
Engine at normal operating temperature
Idle speed check correctly
Transmission in neutral position
(b) Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the DLC1.
SST 09843−18020
(c) Maintain engine speed in the range between 900 − 1,300
rpm for 5 seconds. Check that it returns to idle speed.
If the engine speed operation is not as specified, check the IAC
valve, wiring and ECM.
(d) Remove the SST.
SST 09843−18020
2. INSPECT IAC VALVE RESISTANCE
NOTICE:
”Cold” and ”Hot” in these sentences express the tempera-
ture of the coils themselves. ”Cold” is from −10°C (14°F) to
50°C (122°F) and ”Hot” is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C
(212°F).
(a) Disconnect the IAC valve connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minal +B and other terminals (RSC, RSO).
Resistance:
Cold: 17.0 − 24.5 Ω
Hot: 21.5 − 28.5 Ω
If resistance is not as specified, replace the IAC valve.
(c) Reconnect the IAC valve connector.

INSPECTION
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
(a) Keep the vehicle level.
(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON® II or III
HINT:
Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on the
reservoir. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the COLD
LEVEL range.
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80°C (176°F)
(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If there is foaming or emulsification, bleed power steering
system (See page SR−4).
(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise: 5 mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed power steering system
(See page SR−4)
(i) Check the fluid level.

(f) With the engine idling, close the valve of the SST and ob-
serve the reading on the SST.
Minimum fluid pressure:
7,355 kPa (75 kgf/cm
2, 1067 psi)
NOTICE:
Do not keep the valve closed for more than 10 se-
conds.
Do not let the fluid temperature become too high.
(g) With the engine idling, open the valve fully.
(h) Measure the fluid pressure at engine speeds of 1,000 rpm
and 3,000 rpm.
Difference fluid pressure:
490 kPa (5 kgf/cm
2, 71 psi) or less
NOTICE:
Do not turn the steering wheel.
(i) With the engine idling and valve fully opened, turn the
steering wheel to full lock.
Minimum fluid pressure:
7,355 kPa (75 kgf/cm

NOTICE:
Do not maintain lock position for more than 10 se-
conds.
Do not let the fluid temperature become too high.
(j) Disconnect the SST.
(k) Connect the pressure feed tube (See page SR−42).
(l) Bleed the power steering system (See page SR−4).
