Perform the following steps to disconnect the quick connector
using Tool.
a. Remove quick connector cap (engine side only).
b. With the sleeve side of Tool facing quick connector, install Tool
onto fuel tube.
c. Insert Tool into quick connector until sleeve contacts and goes
no further. Hold the Tool in that position.
CAUTION:
Inserting the Tool hard will not disconnect quick connector.
Hold Tool where it contacts and goes no further.
d. Draw and pull out quick connector straight from fuel tube.
CAUTION:
Pull quick connector holding A position in illustration.
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.
Be sure to cover openings of disconnected pipes with plug or plastic bag to avoid fuel leakage
and entry of foreign materials.
6. Remove or disconnect harnesses, brackets, vacuum hose, vacuum gallery and PCV hose and tube from
intake manifold.
7. Remove electric throttle control actuator by loosening bolts diagonally.
CAUTION:
Handle carefully to avoid any damage to the electric throttle control actuator.
Do not disassemble.
8. Remove the fuel injectors and fuel tube assembly. Refer to EM-29, "
Removal and Installation" .
9. Loosen the bolts in reverse order shown using power tool.
10. Remove the intake manifold.
CAUTION:
Cover engine openings to avoid entry of foreign materials.Tool number : 16441 6N210 (J-45488)

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Tighten the intake manifold bolts in numerical order as shown.
Install the EVAP canister purge control solenoid valve connector with it facing front of engine.
Tighten the electronic throttle control actuator bolts of the electric throttle control actuator equally and
diagonally in several steps.
After installation perform procedure in EM-18, "INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION" .
Install the water hose so that its overlap width for connection is between 27 mm (1.06 in) and 32 mm (1.26
in) (target: 27 mm 1.06 in).
Connecting Quick Connector of Fuel Tube
Install quick connector as follows (the steps are the same for quick connectors on both engine side and vehi-
cle side except for the quick connector cap).
1. Make sure no foreign substances are deposited in and around tube and quick connector, and they are not
damaged.
2. Thinly apply new engine oil around the fuel tube from tip end to the spool end.
3. Align center to insert quick connector straight into fuel tube.
Insert until the paint mark for engagement identification
(white) goes completely inside quick connector so that you
cannot see it from the straight side of the connected part. Use
a mirror to check this where it is not possible to view directly
from the straight side, such as quick connector on vehicle
side.
Insert fuel tube into quick connector until top spool is com-
pletely inside quick connector, and 2nd level spool exposes
right below quick connector on engine side.
CAUTION:
Hold A position in illustration 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.
4. Pull quick connector by hand holding A position. Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it
does not come out from fuel tube.
NOTE:
Recommended pulling force is 50 N (5.1 kg, 11.2 lb).

5. Install the quick connector cap on the quick connector joint (on
engine side only).
6. Install the fuel hose and tube to hose clamps.
7. Refill the engine coolant. Refer to MA-13, "
REFILLING ENGINE
COOLANT" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
After installing fuel tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.
–Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for
fuel leaks at connections.
–Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections.
Perform procedures for “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning” after finishing repairs. Refer to EC-44,
"Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning" .
If electric throttle control actuator is replaced, perform procedures for “Idle Air Volume Learning” after fin-
ishing repairs. Refer to EC-44, "
Idle Air Volume Learning" .
