plunger and spring. (Return prevention mechanism is avail-
able.)
10. Remove the timing chain slack guide.
11. Remove the cam sprocket and timing chain at the same time.
+Make mating marks on each sprocket and timing chain.
+Hold the hexagon head of the camshaft on the exhaust mani-
fold side, and loosen the cam sprocket installation bolt.
CAUTION:
Do not loosen the installation bolt using a chain tension.
12. Remove the fuel injection pump sprocket and gear as an
assembly.
+Fix the fuel injection pump gear with the pulley holder (SST),
and loosen the installation bolt for removal.
+Try not to move the pump shaft when removing.
+Connect the sprocket and gear with a dowel pin, and tighten
them together with the installation bolt.

13. Make the mating marks on the fuel injection pump flange and
front plate with paint.
14. Remove installation bolts first, and then fuel injection pump
toward the rear side of the engine.
+When the fuel injection pump is stationary, it can still be
retained by the dowel without all bolts.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble or adjust the fuel injection pump.
INSTALLATION
+The injection timing adjustment to correct the installation
angle deviation is not necessary. Install the pump in the
proper position according to the dowel and installation bolts.
1. Install the fuel injection pump from the rear side of the
engine.
+Match the dowel of the spacer to the dowel hole of the pump
side for installation.
+Replace the seal washer of the installation bolt with a new
one.
2. Align the mating marks of the fuel injection pump flange and
front plate, and then adjust the approximate flange position.
+Each hole [6 mm (0.24 in) dia.] is used as a reference point
for the fuel injection pump flange, fuel injection pump gear,
and fuel injection pump sprocket.
+Only during removal/installation at No. 1 cylinder compres-
sion top dead center, can the hole [6 mm (0.24 in) dia.] of the
pump body be aligned.
3. Install the fuel injection pump sprocket and gear as an
assembly.
+Align the mating marks of the idler gear and fuel injection
pump gear properly.
4. Tighten the installation bolt of the fuel injection pump
sprocket.
+Fix the fuel injection pump gear with the pulley holder (SST),
and tighten the installation bolt.
CAUTION:
Before tightening the installation bolt, check again that the
mating marks of the idler gear and fuel injection pump gear
are aligned.

+Align the mating marks of the fuel injection pump sprocket
and cam sprocket, and install the timing chain.
+Holding the hexagon head of the camshaft with a wrench,
tighten the cam sprocket installation bolt.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten the installation bolt using a chain tension.
6. Install the timing chain, related parts, and the chain cover.
Refer to EM section, ªTIMING CHAINº.

nism.
8. Apply the liquid gasket to the screw of the plug, and tighten
the plug.

+Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
9. Install the fuel injection pump rear bracket.
+Tighten all the installation bolts temporarily, and then tighten
them firmly with both surfaces of the fuel injection pump and
cylinder block attached to the installation surface.
10. Connect the harness connector of the fuel injection pump.
+Insert the harness connector until the stopper is completely
locked.
+When the connector is pushed fully to lock the stopper, the

Air Bleeding
Pump the priming pump to bleed air.
+When air is bled completely, the pumping of the priming
pump suddenly becomes heavy. Stop operation at that
time.
+If it is difficult to bleed air by the pumping of the prim-
ing pump (the pumping of the priming pump does not
become heavy), disconnect the fuel supply hose
between the fuel filter and the injection pump. Then, per-
form the operation described above, and make sure that
fuel comes out. (Use a pan, etc. so as not to spill fuel.
Do not let fuel get on engine and other parts.) After that,
connect the hose, and then bleed air again.

2. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by using the data link connector. (See
EC-1035.)
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by changing the diagnostic test mode.
+If the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost after
approx. 24 hours.
+Erasing the emission-related diagnostic information using CONSULT-II is easier and quicker than
switching the diagnostic test mode using the data link connector.
NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)
+If the security indicator lights up with the ignition switch
in the ªONº position or ªNATS MALFUNCTIONº is dis-
played on ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº screen, perform self-
diagnostic results mode with CONSULT-II using NATS
program card. Refer to ªNATS (Nissan Anti-Theft Sys-
tem)º in EL section.
+Confirm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching ªERASEº in ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº
mode with CONSULT-II.
+When replacing ECM, initialization of NATS system and
registration of all NATS ignition key IDs must be carried
out with CONSULT-II using NATS program card.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle
owner. Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization
and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CON-
SULT-II operation manual, NATS.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
DESCRIPTION
The MI is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MI will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON
without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
+If the MI does not light up, refer to EL section (ªWARNING
LAMPS AND CHIMEº) or see EC-1276.
2. When the engine is started, the MI should go off.
If the MI remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
If MI illuminates or blinks irregularly after starting engine,
water may have accumulated in fuel filter. Drain water from
fuel filter. Refer to MA section.
