PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:
●Do not use home heating oil, gasoline or other alternate fuels in your diesel engine. The use of
those can cause engine damage.
●Do not use summer fuel at temperatures below –7°C (20°F). The cold temperatures will cause wax
to form in the fuel. As a result, it may prevent the engine from running smoothly.
●Do not add gasoline or other alternate fuels to diesel fuel.
Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control SystemEAS000FT
●Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for
the multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” 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 Turbocharger (If Equipped)EAS000FU
The turbocharger turbine revolves at extremely high speeds and
becomes very hot. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a clean sup-
ply of oil flowing through the turbocharger and to follow all required
maintenance instructions and operating procedures.
●Always use the recommended oil. Follow the instructions for
proper time to change the oil and proper oil level.
●Avoid accelerating engine to a high rpm immediately after start-
ing.
●If engine had been operating at high rpm for an extended period
of time, let it idle for a few minutes prior to shutting if off.
Precautions for HosesEAS000FV
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
●To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose
with tapered tool or screwdriver.
●To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose inser-
tion length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with
hose stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up
against hose stopper.)

saxle, and simultaneously adjust hoist tension.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the support-
ing surface, secure a completely stable condition.
23. Remove RH engine mounting insulator.
24. Pull LH engine mounting through-bolt out.
25. Remove mounting bolts at front end of center member.
26. Remove front suspension member mounting bolts and nuts.
27. Remove engine, transaxle and transfer assembly with suspen-
sion member from vehicle downward by carefully operating sup-
porting tools.
CAUTION:
●During the operation, make sure that no part interferes
with body side.
●Before and during this lifting, always check if any har-
nesses are left connected.
●During the removal operation, always be careful to pre-
vent vehicle from falling off the lift due to changes in the center of gravity.
●If necessary, support vehicle by setting a jack or equivalent tool at the rear.
28. Remove power steering pump with piping connected from engine. Move it aside on suspension member.
29. Remove front engine mounting and rear engine mounting through-bolts to remove suspension member.
30. Remove starter motor.
31. Separate engine and transaxle. Refer to MT-15, "
TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY" (M/T models) or AT- 4 1 8 ,
"REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION" (A/T models)
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
●Do not allow engine oil to get on mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage mounting insulator.
●When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the direction marks on them referring
to components illustration.
●Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting bolts and nuts.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
●Before starting engine, check the levels of engine coolant, lubrications and working engine oils. If less
than required quantity, fill to the specified level.
●Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
●Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of engine coolant, lubricants, working
engine oil, fuel and exhaust gas.
