Checking Fuel LinesNJFE0009Inspect 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.
Removal and InstallationNJFE0004WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
+Put a ªCAUTION: FLAMMABLEº sign in workshop.
+Be sure to furnish workshop with a CO
2fire extinguisher.
+Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from work area.
CAUTION:
+Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
a) Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely.
b) Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to EC-38, ªFuel Pressure Releaseº.
c) Disconnect battery ground cable.
+Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
+Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
+Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
+After installing tubes, run engine and check for fuel leaks at connections.

Checking Exhaust SystemNJFE0010Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, chafing or deterioration.
Removal and InstallationNJFE0005CAUTION:
+Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when
reassembling.
+With engine running, check all tube connections for
exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for unusual noises.
+Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting
insulators are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive
noise or vibration.
+Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been
dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a
hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
+Before installing a new oxygen sensor, clean exhaust sys-
tem threads using oxygen sensor thread cleaner tool and
apply anti-seize lubricant.
+Do not overtorque the oxygen sensor. Doing so may
cause damage to the oxygen sensor, resuiting in the MIL
coming on.
+Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts which are
designed especially for heat resistance, corrosion
resistance, and shape.
+Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully
cooled down because the system will be heated just after
the engine stops.
+Be careful not to cut your hand on the insulator edge.

Removal and InstallationNJFE0013CAUTION:
+Do not disassemble the accelerator pedal assembly. Do not remove the sensors and the switches
from the assembly.
+Avoid impact from dropping etc. during handling.
+Be careful to keep the assembly away from water.
+Do not adjust the adjusting screw (painted white) of the accelerator work unit.
+When the connector of the accelerator sensor is disconnected, reconnect the connector, and touch
ªCLEARº in ªOFF ACCEL PO SIGº of the active test using the CONSULT-II. Or, warm up the engine,
then leave it idling for approximately 10 minutes.
YFE007
InspectionNJFE0020+Check that the accelerator pedal moves smoothly within the
whole operation range.
+Check that the accelerator pedal securely returns to the origi-
nal position.
+Check that the drum of the accelerator work unit can be fully
opened.
+Refer to EC-536, ªBasic Inspectionº for the inspection of the
accelerator work unit and the accelerator pedal switch.

2. Remove fuel filter using a fuel filter wrench (commercial ser-
vice tool).
CAUTION:
Do not spill the fuel during removal. If the fuel is spilt, imme-
diately wipe it off. Be especially careful to prevent the fuel
from adhering to the insulators of the engine mounts.
3. Remove fuel-level warning sensor from fuel filter.

INSTALLATIONNJFE0021S02+Install in the reverse order of removal.
+Tighten the fuel filter so that the sealing face contacts the
packing, then retighten it manually by approximately 2/3 turn.
+After installation, operate the priming pump vertically to per-
form air bleeding.

Bleeding Fuel FilterNJFE00231. After the repair, bleed air from the piping by pumping the prim-
ing pump up and down until it becomes heavy.
2. To start the engine, rotate the starter for a maximum of 30
seconds.
To start the engine more quickly, crank the engine while pump-
ing the priming pump (requires two workers).
3. If the engine does not start after rotating the starter for a maxi-
mum of 30 seconds, stop it once, and pump the priming pump
again until it becomes heavy.
4. Rotate the starter again until the engine starts running.
5. After the engine starts, let it idle for at least 1 minute to stabi-
lize the behavior.
NOTE:
+When air is bled completely, pumping the priming pump sud-
denly becomes heavy.
Stop the operation at that time.
+If it is difficult to bleed air by pumping the priming pump (the
priming pump does not become heavy during pumping), dis-
connect the fuel supply hose between the fuel filter and the
injection pump. Then, pump the priming pump up and down,
and make sure that fuel comes out. (Use a pan and be care-
ful not to spill fuel. Keep fuel clear of the engine.) After that,
connect the hose, then bleed air again.
DEF017
Checking Priming PumpNJFE0024Before checking priming pump, make sure that fuel filter is
filled with fuel.
1. Disconnect fuel return hose.
Place a suitable container beneath hose end.
2. Pump priming pump and check that the fuel overflows from the
hose end. If not, replace priming pump.
Removal and InstallationNJFE0015WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
+Put a ªCAUTION: FLAMMABLEº sign in workshop.
+Be sure to furnish workshop with a CO
2fire extinguisher.
+Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from work area.
CAUTION:
+Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
a) Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely.
b) Disconnect battery ground cable.
