Make sure that support is stable with the use of safety
blocks.
16. Install hooks of lifting chain into engine slingers and tighten
chain so that engine still remains on transmission jacks with-
out being lifted up.
17. Remove engine mount insulator RH.
18. Remove through-bolt of engine mount insulator LH.
19. Remove bolts securing center member at front and rear.
JEM190G
20. Carefully lower transmission jacks in accordance with the low-
ering pace of the hoist, and remove engine and transaxle
assembly from vehicle.
While working, check that no parts of engine assembly
interfere with adjacent parts on the vehicle.
While working, make sure that parts requiring disconnec-
tion are not left connected, and that no parts interfere with
vehicle.
To prevent vehicle from falling down, perform operation
carefully so that the center of gravity of the vehicle will not
shift.
21. Remove center member.
Before starting removal operation, first place the assem-
bly on a level surface and securely support the bottom
surface with wood blocks. Using a hoist, lift engine
slingers, and make sure the assembly is stable.
22. Separate engine and transaxle.
INSTALLATIONNJEM0069S02Install in the reverse order of removal, observing the following:
While installing, be careful to keep mount insulators free of oil
smear and damage.
When parts require specified installation directions/positions,
install by using the identifying marks indicating up or front.
While keeping the mount insulators free of twists or distortions,
start tightening from the through-bolt on the engine mount
insulator LH. This mount is used as the reference position.

tion. For A/T models, put selector lever in Park “P” posi-
tion.
1. Check oil level.
2. Remove oil pressure switch.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by  input  signals  (for  engine  speed  and  intake  air)  from  the  crankshaft  position  sensor  (POS),  the  camshaft
position sensor (PHASE) and the mass air flow sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION INCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance under various operat-
ing conditions as listed below.
●During warm-up
●When starting the engine
●During acceleration
●Hot-engine operation
●When selector lever is changed from “N” to “D” (A/T models)
●High-load, high-speed operation
●During deceleration
●During high engine speed operation
MIXTURE RATIO FEEDBACK CONTROL (CLOSED LOOP CONTROL)
The mixture ratio feedback system provides the best air-fuel mixture ratio for driveability and emission control.
The  three  way  catalyst  (manifold)  can  then  better  reduce  CO,  HC and NOx emissions. This system uses
heated  oxygen  sensor  1  in  the  exhaust  manifold  to  monitor  if  the  engine  operation  is  rich  or  lean.  The  ECM
adjusts  the  injection  pulse  width  according  to  the  sensor  voltage  signal.  For  more  information  about  heated
oxygen sensor 1, refer to EC-155
 . This maintains the mixture ratio within the range of stoichiometric (ideal air-
fuel mixture).
This stage is referred to as the closed loop control condition.
Heated  oxygen  sensor  2  is  located  downstream  of  the  three  way  catalyst  (manifold).  Even  if  the  switching
characteristics  of  heated  oxygen  sensor  1  shift,  the  air-fuel  ratio  is  controlled  to  stoichiometric  by  the  signal
from heated oxygen sensor 2.
Open Loop Control
The  open  loop  system  condition  refers  to  when  the  ECM  detects  any  of  the  following  conditions.  Feedback
control stops in order to maintain stabilized fuel combustion.
●Deceleration and acceleration
●High-load, high-speed operation
●Malfunction of heated oxygen sensor 1 or its circuit
●Insufficient activation of heated oxygen sensor 1 at low engine coolant temperature
●High engine coolant temperature
●During warm-up
●After shifting from “N” to “D” (A/T models)
●When starting the engine
MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING CONTROL
The  mixture  ratio  feedback  control  system  monitors  the  mixture ratio  signal  transmitted  from  heated  oxygen
sensor 1. This feedback signal is then sent to the ECM. The ECM controls the basic mixture ratio as close to
the theoretical mixture ratio as possible. However, the basic mixture ratio is not necessarily controlled as orig-
