5. Install remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
●Check for fuel leakage with following procedure.
1. Turn ignition switch ON (do not start engine), and check connections for leakage by applying fuel pressure
to fuel piping.
2. Start engine, and re-check connections for fuel leakage by increasing engine speed. 1st step : 11.8 - 13.8 N·m (1.2 - 1.4 kg-m, 9 - 10 ft-lb)
2nd step : 17 - 23 N·m (1.7 - 2.4 kg-m, 13 - 17 ft-lb)

REMOVAL
1. Move harnesses on top surface and right side of rocker cover, and move them aside.
2. Remove ignition coil. Refer to EM-24, "
Removal and Installation" .
3. Disconnect PCV hoses on rocker cover side.
4. If necessary, remove PCV control valve.
5. If necessary, remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft position sensor (PHASE).
CAUTION:
●Do not shock it.
●Do not disassemble it.
●Tip of camshaft position sensor (PHASE) generates strong magnetic fields. Keep it away from
metal particles or objects affected by magnetic fields.
