Changing Engine CoolantNBMA0011WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the cool-
ant when the engine is hot.
ÐDRAINING ENGINE COOLANTÐNBMA0011S011. Set air conditioning system as follows to prevent coolant from
remaining in the system.
a. Turn ignition switch ªONº and set temperature controller to
maximum hot position.
b. Wait 10 seconds before turning ignition switch ªOFFº.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator.
3. Remove radiator filler cap.
Remove reservoir tank, drain coolant, then clean reservoir
tank.
Install it temporarily.
IBe careful not to allow coolant to contact drive belts.
SMA092D
SMA093D
SMA094DA
4. Open drain plugs on right side of cylinder block and water
pump side, then open air relief plugs to drain coolant.
5. Check drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, coorro-
sion or discoloration. If contaminated flush engine cooling
system, ªRefer to FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEMº, MA-16.

steps 4 through 8 until coolant level no longer drops.
IClean excess coolant from engine.
ÐFLUSHING COOLING SYSTEMÐNBMA0011S031. Open air relief plug.
2. Fill radiator with water until water spills from the air relief holes,
then close air relief plugs. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with
water and reinstall radiator cap.
3. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
5. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain water.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 until clear water begins to drain from
radiator.
SMA803A
Checking Fuel LinesNBMA0012Inspect fuel lines and tank for improper attachment, leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace faulty parts.
MMA104A
CAUTION:
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp end is
3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Ensure that screw does not contact adjacent parts.

Changing Fuel FilterNBMA0013WARNING:
Before removing fuel filter, release fuel pressure from fuel line.
WITH CONSULT-IINBMA0013S011. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2. Perform ªFUEL PRESSURE RELEASEº in ªWORK SUP-
PORTº mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank engine two or three times to release
all fuel pressure.

Changing Spark PlugsNBMA00171. Remove engine cover.
2. Remove throttle wires.
3. Remove air duct with air cleaner assembly.
4. Disconnect harness connectors and harness brackets around
ignition coil sides.
5. Remove throttle body. (Only when removing the No. 4 cylinder
spark plug)
6. Disconnect ignition coil harness connectors.
7. Loosen ignition coil fixing bolts and pull out coil from intake
manifold connector.
