FUEL INJECTOR
Removal
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, it is
necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure before
servicing the fuel system components.
Caution: After relieving the fuel system pressure, a small
amount of fuel may be released when servicing fuel lines
or connections. Reduce the chance of personal injury by
covering the fuel line fitting with a shop towel before
disconnecting the fittings. The towel will absorb any fuel
that may leak out. When the disconnect is completed,
place the towel in an approved container.
1. Depressurize the fuel system.
2. Disconnect the fuel inlet.
3. Disconnect the fuel return line.
4. Remove the fuel rail from the intake manifold.
5. Remove the fuel injector from the fuel rail by disengaging
claws.
Installation
1. Install the fuel injector to the fuel rail by engaging claws.
2. Install the fuel rail to the intake manifold.
3. Connect the fuel return line firmly.
4. Connect the fuel supply line firmly.
Knock sensor
Removal
1. Remove fixing bolts.
2. Disconnect the connector at the other side.

Throttle Valve Position Sensor
Removal
1. Remove wiring harness connector.
2. Remove throttle valve position sensor.
Installation
1. Install throttle valve position sensor.
2. Install wiring harness connector.
Accelerator Pedal and Cable
Removal
1. Remove pad stopper from pedal stop bolt.
Installation
1. Install pad stopper.
Inspection
Ensure that accelerator pedal is fully in idle position and
accelerator level at engine is in closed position.
Pull outer sleeve of accelerator cable towards pedal and check
that clip on sleeve is in slot nearest to grommet.
Reposition clip if necessary, and check that full throttle and idle
positions are obtained at engine lever.

Air Cleaner Filter
NOTE:
The air cleaner filter is not damaged with the edge of the air
cleaner housing.
Removal
(2.4L)
1. Remove air cleaner cover and air cleaner element.
2. Remove air intake nose.
3. Remove lower air cleaner.
4. Remove mud guard.
5. Remove front fender cover.
6. Remove outside air intake duct.
Inspection
Check the air cleaner filter for damage or dust clogging.
Replace if it is damaged, or clean if it is clogged.
130RW002
Cleaning Method
Tap the air cleaner filter gently so as not to damage the paper
filter, or clean the element by blowing with compressed air of
about 490 kPa (71 psi) from the clean side if it is extremely
dirty.
Installation
(2.4L)
1. Install outside air intake duct.
2. Install front fender cover.
3. Install mud guard.
4. Install lower air cleaner.
5. Install air intake hose.
6. Install air cleaner element and air cleaner cover.

Engine Oil Viscosity
The following engine oils can be used:
A = single-grade oils
B = multigrade oils
C = easy run oils
depending on the outside temperature.
Engine Oil Quality
It is important that the following API and CCMC classes are
used:
Engines Single and multigrade oils Easy run oils
Petrol API-SF/CC, SF/CD, SG/CC,
SG/CD, CCMC/G4 API-SF/CC, SF/CD, SG/CD
CCMC-G5/PD2
Important!
CD engine oils designed by manufacturers specially for diesel
engines are not suitable for petrol engines, unless a sufficient
performance class for petrol engines (e.g. API-SF/CCMC-G4)
is also indicated.
Disposal.
Observe the relevant national regulations when disposing of
used oil.
