2001 NISSAN ALMERA N16 pump

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do
not carelessly disconnect the harness connectors which are
related to the engine control system and TCM (Transmission
Control Module) system. The connectors should be discon-
nected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
SGI787
PRECAUTIONS FOR MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION
SYSTEM OR ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
NJGI0001S04+Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for
the multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to ªOFFº position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
+Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
+Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air
flow sensor.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THREE WAY CATALYSTNJGI0001S05If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the cata-
lyst temperature will be excessively high. To prevent this, follow the
instructions below:
+Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously
damage the three way catalyst.
+When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine
compression, make tests quickly and only when necessary.
+Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the
engine may misfire, causing damage to the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable
material off the exhaust pipe and the three way catalyst.

PRECAUTIONS FOR HOSESNJGI0001S06Hose Removal and InstallationNJGI0001S0601+To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose
with tapered tool or screwdriver.

1. Warm up engine.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Release fuel pressure.
Refer to EC-38, ªReleasing Fuel Pressureº.
4. Remove ignition coils.
5. Remove spark plugs.
+Clean area around plug with compressed air before removing
the spark plug.

6. Attach a compression tester to No. 1 cylinder.
7. Depress accelerator pedal fully to keep throttle valve wide
open.
8. Crank engine and record highest gauge indication.
9. Repeat the measurement on each cylinder as shown above.
+Always use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified
engine speed.

10. If cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a
small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole and retest compression.
+If adding oil improves cylinder compression, piston rings
may be worn or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after
checking piston.
+If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat. Refer
to SDS, EM-70. If valve or valve seat is damaged
excessively, replace them.
+If compression in any two adjacent cylinders is low and if add-
ing oil does not improve compression, there is leakage past the
gasket surface. If so, replace cylinder head gasket.
11. Reinstall spark plugs, ignition coils and fuel pump fuse.
12. Perform ªSelf-diagnosis Procedureº referring to EC-68, ªHow
to Erase DTCº if any DTC appears.
