PRECAUTION
1. BEFORE WORKING ON FUEL SYSTEM, DISCON-
NECT NEGATIVE (±) TERMINAL CABLE FROM BAT-
TERY
HINT:
Any diagnostic trouble code retained by the ECM will be erased
when the battery negative (±) terminal cable is removed from
the battery.
Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnostic trouble code(s) be-
fore removing the negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
2. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
WHEN WORKING ON FUEL SYSTEM
3. KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM RUBBER OR LEATH-
ER PARTS
4. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
(a) Precaution when the connecting gauge.
Use battery as the power source for the timing light, etc.
(b) In the event of engine misfire, these precautions should
be taken.
(1) Check proper connection of battery terminals, etc.
(2) Handle high±tension cords carefully.
(3) After repair work, check that the ignition coil termi-
nals and all other ignition system lines are recon-
nected securely.
(4) When cleaning the engine compartment, be espe-
cially careful to protect the electrical system from
water.
(c) Precautions when the handling heated oxygen sensors.
(1) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against an
object.
(2) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with
water.
5. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE RADIO SYS-
TEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system,
refer to the precaution in the IN section.
6. AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
(a) Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV
hose, etc. may cause the engine to run out of tune.
(b) Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will cause air suction and cause the engine to run
out of tune.

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL INJECTORS AND DELIVERY PIPE
(a) Install new insulator and grommet to each injector.
(b) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline to 2 new O±
rings and install them to each injector.
(c) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline on the place
where a delivery pipe touches an O±ring of the injector.
(d) While turning the injector clockwise and counterclock-
wise, push it to the delivery pipe. Install the 6 injectors.
(e) Position the injector connector outward.
(f) Place the 3 spacers in position on the intake manifold.
(g) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline on the place
where a intake manifold touches an O±ring of the injector.
(h) Place the 6 injectors together with the delivery pipe and
3 bolts in position on the intake manifold.
(i) Temporarily install the 3 bolts holding the delivery pipe to
the intake manifold.
(j) Check that the injectors rotate smoothly.
HINT:
If injectors do not rotate smoothly, the probable cause is incor-
rect installation of O±rings. Replace the O±rings.
(k) Position the injector connector upward.
(l) Connect the 6 injector connectors.
HINT:
The Nos.1, 3, 5 injector connectors and dark gray, and the
Nos.2, 4, 6 injector connectors are brown.
(m) Tighten the 3 bolts holding the delivery pipe to the intake
manifold.
Torque: 21 N´m (210 kgf´cm, 15 ft´lbf)
(n) Connect the camshaft position sensor connector.
(o) Connect the throttle position sensor connector.
(p) Connect the VSV connector for EVAP.
2. INSTALL FUEL PRESSURE PULSATION DAMPER
(See page SF±27)
3. INSTALL AIR INTAKE CHAMBER
(See page SF±49)
4. INSTALL ENGINE COVER
Install the engine cover with the 4 nuts.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. REMOVE ENGINE COVER
Remove the 4 nuts and engine cover.
2. INSPECT SYSTEM OPERATION
(a) Check that the throttle linkage moves smoothly.
(b) Inspect the throttle control motor for operating sound.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor
lever, check the running sound of the motor. Also,
check that there is no friction sound.
If operation is not as specified, check the throttle control motor,
wiring and ECM.
(c) Inspect the throttle position sensor and accelerator pedal
position sensor function.
(1) Connect the LEXUS hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor
lever to the full±open position, check that the
throttle valve opening percentage (THROTTLE
POS) of the CURRENT DATA showns the standard
value.
Throttle valve opening percentage: 60 % or more
If operation is not as specified, check that the throttle position
sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor, wiring and ECM.
(d) Start the engine, and check that the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) does not light up.
(e) Inspect the air assist system.
(1) Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating
temperature.

(2) Turn the A/C switch ON and OFF, and check the idle
speed.
Idle speed (Transmission in neutral):
700 ± 50 rpm (A/C OFF)
750 ± 50 rpm (A/C ON)
NOTICE:
Perform inspection under condition without electrical load.
(3) With engine idling, pinch the air assist hose and
check that engine speed drops, and then returns
back up to idle speed.
If operation is not as specified, check the throttle body, wiring
and ECM.
(f) After checking the above (b) to (e), perform the diving test
and check that there is no sense of incongruity.
3. INSPECT THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR
(a) Disconnect the throttle control motor connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minal 3 (CL±) and 4 (CL+).
Resistance: 4.2 ± 5.2 W at 20°C (68°F)
(c) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minal 1 (M+) and 2 (M±).
Resistance: 0.3 ± 100 W at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the throttle control
motor. (See page SF±37)
(d) Reconnect the throttle control motor connector.
4. INSPECT THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
(a) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals VC and E2.
Resistance: 1.2 ± 3.2 kW at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the throttle position
sensor. (See page SF±37)

5. INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SEN-
SOR
(a) Disconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor con-
nector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals VC and E2.
Resistance: 1.2 ± 3.2 kW at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the accelerator ped-
al position sensor. (See page SF±37)
