Installthe battery. Clean the battery posts and
cable terminals with sandpaper, then assemble
them and apply grease to prevent corrosion.
Check that the transmission shifts into gear
smoothly.
Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch ON(ll) {do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump
runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel
line. Repeat this operation two or three times, then
check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
Refillthe engine with engine oil (see page 8-5).
Refill the transmission with fluid (see page 13-3).
Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed
air from the cooling system with the heater valve
open (see page 10-6).
Perform the engine control module (ECM) idle learnprocedure (see page 11-139).
Inspect the idle speed (see page 1 1-138).
Inspect the ignition timing (see page 4-17).
Check the wheel alignment {see page 18-4).
Enter the anti-theft code for the radio, then enter
the customer's radio station presets.

Gylinder Head Removal
NOTE:. Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted
surfaces.
To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors
carefully whlle holding the connector portion.
To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100'F (38"C)
betore loosening the cylinder head bolts.
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.
