REMOVAL
1) Release fuel pressure in fuel feed line. Refer to “FUEL
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE” in Section 6.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Remove engine hood.
4) Drain engine oil.
5) Drain coolant.
6) Remove radiator, radiator fan shroud, cooling fan and radia-
tor reservoir. Refer to “COOLING FAN AND FAN CLUTCH”
and “RADIATOR” in Section 6B.
7) Disconnect accelerator cable (1) and A/T throttle cable (for
A/T vehicle) (2) from throttle body.
8) Remove strut tower bar and surge tank cover.
9) Disconnect IAT sensor coupler and MAF sensor coupler then
remove air cleaner upper case, intake air hose, intake air
pipe and surge tank pipe as a component.

NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.
“Hard water”, if used, will foul up the cooling circuit by scale formation. Tap water available from
city water supply is the best available water, in a practical sense, for the cooling system. Distilled
water is ideal but is a luxury in most cases.
