To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar sound, be sure to perform the next
step.
c. Before clamping fuel feed hose with hose clamps, pull quick connector hard by hand holding “A” position.
Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it does not come out from fuel feed tube.
d. Install quick connector cap to quick connector connection. (On
both the engine side and the vehicle side)
Install so that the arrow mark on the side faces up.
CAUTION:
Make sure that quick connector and fuel tube are
securely fit into quick connector cap installation groove.
If quick connector cap cannot be installed smoothly,
quick connector may have not been installed correctly.
Check connection again.
NOTE:
There is quick connector cap for the engine side and for the
vehicle side, and they have different shapes. The figure shows engine side as an example.
7. Install fuel feed hose to hose clamp.
8. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check on Fuel Leaks
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then make sure
there are no fuel leaks at connections.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking on invisible points.
2. Start engine. With engine speed increased, make sure again there are no fuel leaks at connections.
CAUTION:
Do not touch engine immediately after stopped as engine becomes extremely hot.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Timing Chain
Check timing chain for cracks and any excessive wear at the roller
links of timing chain. Replace timing chain if necessary.
Balancer Unit Mounting Bolt Outer Diameter
Measure the outer diameters (“d1”, “d2”) at two positions as
shown in the figure.
If reduction appears in “A” range, regard it as “d2 ”.
If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace it
with a new one.
