FRONT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
(HO2S1) (1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Notice : The oxygen sensor uses a permanently attached
pigtail and connector. This pigtail should not be removed
from the oxygen sensor. Damage or removal of the pigtail
or the connector could affect proper operation of the oxy-
gen sensor. Take care when handling the oxygen sensor.
Do not drop the oxygen sensor.
2. Disconnect the front heated oxygen sensor
(HO2S1) connector.
Notice : The oxygen sensor may be difficult to remove
when engine temperature is below 48°C (120°F). Exces-
sive force may damage threads in the exhaust manifold.
3. Carefully remove the HO2S1 from the exhaust
manifold.
Installation Procedure
Important : A special anti–seize compound is used on the
oxygen sensor threads. This compound consists of a liq-
uid graphite and glass beads. The graphite will burn away,
but the glass beads will remain, making the sensor easier
to remove. New or service sensors will already have the
compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is removed
from any engine and if for any reason it is to be reinstalled,
the threads must have anti–seize compound applied be-
fore reinstallation.
1. Coat the threads of the HO2S1 with an anti–seize
compound, if needed.
2. Install the HO2S1 into the exhaust manifold.
Tighten
Tighten the oxygen sensor to 42 NSm (31 lb–ft).
3. Connect the HO2S1 connector.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.

Notice : Do not use methyl ethyl ketone because it can
damage the parts.
6. Clean the IAC valve O–ring seal area, the pintle
valve seat, and the air passage with a suitable fuel
system cleaner.
Installation Procedure
Important : If installing a new IAC valve, be sure to re-
place it with an identical part. The IAC valve pintle shape
and diameter are designed for the specific application.
Measure the distance between the tip of the IAC valve
pintle and the mounting flange. If the distance is greater
than 1.1 inches (28 mm), use finger pressure to slowly re-
tract the pintle. The force required to retract the pintle will
not damage the IAC valve. The purpose of the 1.1–inch
(28–mm) setting is to prevent the IAC pintle from bottom-
ing out on the pintle seat. This 1.1–inch (28–mm) setting
is also an adequate setting for controlled idle on a restart.
1. Lubricate a new O–ring with engine oil. Install the
new O–ring onto the valve.
2. Install the IAC valve into the throttle body.
3. Install the IAC valve retaining bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the idle air control valve retaining bolts to 3
NSm (27 lb–in).
4. Connect the IAC valve connector.
5. Install the air intake resonator.
6. Connect the negative battery cable.
7. Start the engine and check for the proper idle
speed.
