INTAKE MANIFOLD

INSTALLATION
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)

7. Remove exhaust manifold cover (lower) and three way catalyst cover from exhaust manifold and three
way catalyst assembly. .
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Surface Distortion

Using straightedge and feeler gauge, check the surface distor-
tion of exhaust manifold and three way catalyst assembly mating
surface.

If it exceeds the limit, replace exhaust manifold and three way
catalyst assembly.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Exhaust Manifold

If stud bolts were removed, install them and tighten to the specified torque below.

Tighten nuts in numerical order as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
No. 6 and 7 mean double tightening of bolts No. 1 and 3.
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.

4. Install oil pan drain plug.

Refer to the figure of components of former page for installation direction of washer. Refer to EM-25,
"Removal and Installation" .
5. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check engine oil level and add engine oil. Refer to LU-7, "ENGINE OIL" .
2. Start engine, and make sure there is no leaks of engine oil.
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check engine oil level again. Refer to LU-7, "

2. Install fuel injector to fuel tube with the following procedure:
a. Insert clip into clip mounting groove on fuel injector.

Insert clip so that lug “A” of fuel injector matches notch “A” of
clip.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse clip. Replace it with a new one.

Be careful to keep clip from interfering with O-ring. If
interference occurs, replace O-ring.
b. Insert fuel injector into fuel tube with clip attached.

Insert it while matching it to the axial center.

Insert fuel injector so that lug “B” of fuel tube matches notch
“B” of clip.

Make sure that fuel tube flange is securely fixed in flange fix-
ing groove on clip.
c. Make sure that installation is complete by checking that fuel
injector does not rotate or come off.
3. From the engine rear side, set fuel tube and fuel injector assembly at its position for installation on intake
manifold.
CAUTION:
For installation, be careful not to interfere with fuel injector nozzle.
4. Set fuel tube protector onto fuel tube.
5. Tighten mounting bolts with the following procedure.

Tighten bolts evenly in two steps in numerical order as shown
in the figure.
6. Connect sub-harness for fuel injector.
7. Note the following, and connect quick connectors at engine side and vehicle side to install fuel feed hose.
NOTE:
There is quick connector for the engine side and for the vehicle side, and they have different shapes. But
connection is same procedure. The following procedure shows the engine side.
a. Check the connection for foreign material and damage.
b. Align center to insert quick connector straightly into fuel tube.

Insert fuel tube into quick connector until the top spool on fuel
tube is inserted completely and the second level spool is posi-
tioned slightly below quick connector bottom end.
CAUTION:

Hold “A” position in the figure when inserting fuel tube
into quick connector.

Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.

Insert until you hear a “click” sound and actually feel the engagement.

To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar sound, be sure to perform the next
step.
c. Before clamping fuel feed hose with hose clamps, pull quick connector hard by hand holding “A” position.
Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it does not come out from fuel tube.
d. Install quick connector cap to quick connector connection. (On
both the engine side and the vehicle side)

Install so that the arrow mark on the side faces up.
CAUTION:

Make sure that quick connector and fuel tube are
securely fit into quick connector cap installation groove.

If quick connector cap cannot be installed smoothly,
quick connector may have not been installed correctly.
Check connection again.
NOTE:
There is quick connector cap for the engine side and for the
vehicle side, and they have different shapes. The figure shows engine side as an example.
8. Install fuel feed hose to hose clamp.
9. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check on Fuel Leaks
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.
