Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Intake Manifold
If stud bolts were removed, install them and tighten to the specified torque below.
Tighten in numerical order as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
No. 6 means double tightening of bolt No. 1.
Intake Manifold Collector
Tighten in numerical order as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
No. 8 means double tightening of bolt No. 1.
Electric Throttle Control Actuator
Tighten mounting bolts equally and diagonally in several steps
and in numerical order as shown in the figure.
Perform the “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning” when har-
ness connector of electric throttle control actuator is discon-
nected. Refer to EC-46, "
Throttle Valve Closed Position
Learning" (WITH EURO-OBD) or EC-508, "Throttle Valve
Closed Position Learning" (WITHOUT EURO-OBD).
Perform the “Idle Air Volume Learning” and “Throttle Valve
Closed Position Learning” when electric throttle control actuator
is replaced. Refer to EC-46, "
Idle Air Volume Learning" (WITH
EURO-OBD) or EC-508, "
Idle Air Volume Learning" (WITHOUT
EURO-OBD).
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure there are no fuel leaks at connections with the following procedure:
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then make sure
there are no fuel leaks at connections.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking on invisible points.
2. Start engine. With engine speed increased, make sure again there are no fuel leaks at connections.
CAUTION:
Do not touch engine immediately after stopped as engine becomes extremely hot. : 10.8 N·m (1.1 kg-m, 8 ft-lb)

Heated Oxygen Sensor
CAUTION:
Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using heated oxygen
sensor thread cleaner and apply anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).
Do not over torque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to the heated oxygen
sensor, resulting in the “MI” coming on.
