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, "

Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of for-
eign material.

When installing O-ring, do not scratch it with tool or fin-
gernails.

Do not twist or stretch the O-ring.
b. Make sure that the backup spacer is in the O-ring connecting surface of the fuel damper.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove engine assembly. Refer to EM-70, "REMOVAL" .
2. Remove the drive plate.

Hold the crankshaft pulley bolt to lock the crankshaft and remove the drive plate bolts.

Loosen bolts diagonally.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage drive plate. Especially avoid
deforming and damaging of signal plate teeth (circum-
ference position).

Place the drive plate with signal plate surface facing
other than downward.

Keep magnetic materials away from signal plate.
3. Lift the engine with hoist to install it onto engine stand. Refer to EM-70, "
REMOVAL" .
CAUTION:

Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large
enough for supporting the engine weight.

Before removing the hanging chains, make sure the engine stand is stable and there is no risk
of overturning.

If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the
potential risk of overturning the stand.
–Remove fuel tube and fuel injector assembly. Refer to EM-29, "REMOVAL" .
–Remove intake manifold. Refer to EM-15, "REMOVAL" .
–Remove exhaust manifold. Refer to EM-19, "REMOVAL" .
–Remove A/C compressor fitting bolts and brackets. Refer to ATC-166, "REMOVAL" .
–Remove ignition coil. Refer to EM-26, "REMOVAL" .

Checking Fuel LinesEBS00IKN
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionsEBS00IKO
WA RN ING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.

Put a “CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.

Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.

Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
CAUTION:

Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
–Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
–Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-46, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
–Disconnect the battery negative terminal.

Always replace O-rings and clamps with new ones.

Do not kink or twist hoses when they are being installed.

Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging
hoses.
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp
end is 3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Check that the screw does not contact adjacent parts.

After connecting the fuel tube quick connectors, make sure
the quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that the connector and resin tube do not contact
any adjacent parts.

After installing 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 con-
nections.
–Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at
connections.

Use only a Genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement.
If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the MIL may come on.

For servicing “Evaporative Emission System” parts, refer to
EC-633, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" .

For servicing “On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery
(ORVR)” parts, refer to EC-640, "

more than the level as shown (full or almost full), drain the fuel
from the fuel tank until the fuel gauge indicates the level as
shown, or less.

If the fuel pump does not operate, use the following procedure
to drain the fuel to the specified level.
a. Insert a suitable hose of less than 15 mm (0.59 in) diameter into
the fuel filler pipe through the fuel filler opening to drain the fuel
from fuel filler pipe.
b. Remove the LH rear wheel and tire. Refer to WT-6, "
