14. Disconnect the quick-connect fitting (A): Hold the
connector (B) with one hand, and squeeze the
retainer tabs (C) with the other hand to release
them from the locking tabs (D). Pull the connector
off.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the line (E) or other parts.
Do not use tools.
If the connector does not move, keep the retainer tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.
Do not remove the retainer from the line; once removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.
15. After disconnecting the quick-connect fitting, check it for dirt or damage (see step 4 on page 11-330).
16. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure (see page 22-68). 1. Remove the under-dash fuse/relay box (see page
22-66), then remove PGM-Fl main relay 2 (FUEL
PUMP) (A) from the under-dash fuse/relay box.
2. Reinstall the under-dash fuse/relay box.
3. Start the engine, and let it idle until it stalls. NOTE: If any DTCs are stored, clear and ignore
them.
4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
5. Remove the fuel fill cap.
6. Do the battery terminal disconnection procedure (see page 22-68).

Fuel pressure gauge attachment set 07AAJ-S6MA150 1. Relieve the fuel pressure (see page 11-322).
2. Disconnect the quick-connect fitting. Attach the fuel pressure gauge set and the fuel pressure gauge.
3. Start the engine, and let it idle. If the engine starts, go to step 5.
If the engine does not start, go to step 4.
4. Check to see if the fuel pump is running: Listen to the fuel filler port with the fuel fill cap removed.
The fuel pump should run for 2 seconds when the
ignition switch is first turned on.
If the pump runs, go to step 5.
If the pump does not run, do the fuel pump circuit troubleshooting (see page 11- 318).
5. Read the fuel pressure gauge. The pressure should be 330 380 kPa (3.4 3.9 kgf/cm , 48 55 psi).
If the pressure is OK, the test is complete.
If the pressure is out of specification, replace the fuel pressure regulator (see page 11-337) and the
fuel filter (see page 11-337), then recheck the fuel
pressure. 1. Remove the fuel tank unit (see page 11-334).
2. Using a hand pump, a hose, and a container
suitable for fuel, draw the fuel from the fuel tank.
3. Reinstall the fuel tank unit (see page 11-335).

replacing the fuel rail.
replacing the fuel feed line.
replacing the fuel pump.
replacing the fuel filter.
replacing the fuel gauge sending unit.
replacing the EVAP purge pipe.
replacing the EVAP canister.
replacing the fuel tank.

NOTE: Coat the O-rings with clean engine oil; do
not use any other oil.
Do not pinch the O-rings during installation. The fuel filter should be replaced when
ever the fuel
pressure drops below the specified value (see page

Do not insert your fingers into the installed throttle
body when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II) or
while the ignition switch is ON (II). If you do, you
will seriously injure your fingers if the throttle valve
is activated.
1. Check for damage to the air cleaner. If the air cleaner element is damaged, replace it (see page
11-346).
2. Remove the throttle body; K20Z2 engine (see page 11-348), K20Z3 engine (see page 11-349).
3. Clean off the carbon from the throttle valve and inside the throttle body with a paper towel soaked
in throttle plate and induction cleaner.
NOTE: Remove the throttle body to clean it.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
To avoid removing the molybdenum coating, do not clean the bearing area of the throttle shaft (A).
Do not spray throttle plate and induction cleaner directly on the throttle body.
Use Honda genuine throttle plate and induction cleaner.
4. Install the throttle body (see page 11- 348).
5. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS (see page 11-4).
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 2 seconds.
7. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310). Vacuum pump/gauge, 0 30 in.Hg, Snap-on YA4000A
or equivalent, commercially available
1. Start the engine, then let it idle. NOTE: The engine coolant temperature must be
below 65 °C (149 °F).
2. Remove the engine cover (see step 1 on page 9-3).
3. Remove the vacuum hose (A) from the intake air duct, and connect a vacuum pump/gauge (B) to the
hose.
4. Raise and lower the engine speed, and make sure the vacuum gauge reading changes as the engine
speed changes.
If the vacuum reading does not change, check for
these problems:
Misrouted, leaking, broken, or clogged intake air bypass control system vacuum lines.
A cracked or damaged intake air bypass control thermal valve. Replace the valve if needed
(see page 11-351).
5. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
