Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection System
or Engine Control System
1. Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector forthe multiport fuel injection system or ECM (Engine Control
Module):
Turn ignition switch to ªOFFº position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
2. Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure to eliminate danger.
3. Be careful not to jar components such as control unit and air flow meter.
Precautions for Catalyst
If a large amount of unburned fuel enters the converter, the con-
verter temperature will rise to excessively high values. To prevent
this, follow the procedure below:
1. Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriouslydamage the catalytic converter.
2. When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, perform tests quickly and only when necessary.
3. Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, as a result the engine may misfire causing damage to the converter.
4. Do not place the vehicle on inflammable material. Keep inflam- mable material off the exhaust pipe.
Precautions for Turbocharger
The turbocharger turbine revolves at extremely high speeds and
becomes very hot. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a clean
supply of oil flowing through the turbocharger and to follow all
required maintenance instructions and operating procedures.
For proper operation of the system, follow the procedure below:
1. Always use the recommended oil. Follow the instructions forproper time to change the oil and proper oil level.
2. Avoid accelerating engine to a high rpm immediately after start- ing.
3. If engine had been operating at high rpm for an extended period of time, let it idle for a few minutes prior to shutting it off.
