3. Remove spark plug with spark plug wrench (commercial service
tool).
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock it.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Use standard type spark plug for normal condition.
Hot type spark plug is suitable when fouling occurs with standard type spark plug under conditions such as:
Frequent engine starts
Low ambient temperatures
Cold type spark plug is suitable when spark plug knock occurs with standard type spark plug under conditions
such as:
Extended highway driving
Frequent high engine revolution
1. Ignition coil 2. Spark plug 3. Rocker cover

Do not pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick
connector may be damaged.
Prepare container and cloth beforehand as fuel will leak out.
Avoid fire and sparks.
Keep parts away from heat source. Especially, be careful when welding is performed around
them.
Do not expose parts to battery electrolyte or other acids.
Do not bend or twist connection between quick connector and fuel feed hose during installa-
tion/removal.
To keep clean the connecting portion and to avoid dam-
age and foreign materials, cover them completely with
plastic bags or something similar.

generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection of Camshaft Sprocket (INT) Oil Groove
CAUTION:
Perform this inspection only when DTC P0011 is detected in self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-II
and it is directed according to inspection procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-82, "
SELF-DIAG
RESULTS MODE" .
Check when the engine is cold so as to prevent burns from any splashing engine oil.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL" .
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-49, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
b. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors.
3. Remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to EM-41, "
CAMSHAFT" .

4. Crank the engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out
from intake valve timing control cover oil hole. End crank after
checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belt, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
Engine oil may squirt from intake valve timing control sole-
noid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a shop
cloth to prevent the engine components and the vehicle. Do
not allow engine oil to get on rubber components such as
drive belt or engine mount insulators. Immediately wipe off
any splashed engine oil.
Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve if engine oil does not
come out from intake valve timing control cover oil hole. Refer to LU-5, "
LUBRICATION SYSTEM" .
5. Remove components between intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.
Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-5, "LUBRICATION SYSTEM" .
6. After inspection, install removed parts.
Valve ClearanceBBS00596
INSPECTION
Perform inspection as follows after removal, installation or replacement of camshaft or valve-related parts, or if
there is unusual engine conditions regarding valve clearance.
1. Remove rocker cover. Refer to EM-39, "
ROCKER COVER" .
2. Open splash guard on RH undercover.
3. Measure the valve clearance with the following procedure:
a. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC of its compression stroke.
Rotate crankshaft pulley clockwise and align TDC mark to
timing indicator on front cover.
At the same time, make sure that both intake and exhaust
cam noses of No. 1 cylinder face outside as shown in the fig-
ure.
If they do not face outside, rotate crankshaft pulley once more
(360 degrees) and align as shown in the figure.
