1. Remove the ignition coil cover (A).
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (B), then remove the ignition coils (C).
3. Install the ignition coils in the reverse order of removal. 1. Remove the spark plugs, then inspect the
electrodes and the ceramic insulator.
Burned or worn electrodes may be caused by these conditions:
– Advanced ignition timing
– Loose spark plug
– Plug heat range too hot
– Insufficient cooling
Fouled plugs may be caused by these conditions: – Retarded ignition timing
– Oil in combustion chamber
– Incorrect spark plug gap
– Plug heat range too cold
– Excessive idling/low speed running
– Clogged air cleaner element
– Deteriorated ignition coils
2. If the spark plug electrode is dirty or contaminated, clean the electrode with a plug cleaner.
NOTE: Do not use a wire brush or scrape the iridium electrode since this will damage the electrode.
When using a sand blaster spark plug cleaner, do not clean for more than 20 seconds to avoid
damaging the electrode.

16. If you removed the pulley, put the rotor in the drive- end housing, then tighten its locknut to 110 N·m
(11.2 kgf·m, 81.0 lbf·ft).
17. Remove any grease or any oil from the slip rings.
18. Put the rear housing assembly and the drive-end housing/rotor assembly together, tighten the four
through bolts.
19. Push the brushes (A) in, then insert a pin or drill bit (B) (about 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) diameter) to hold them
there.
20. Install the brush holder assembly, and pull out the pin or drill bit.
21. Install the end cover.
22. After assembling the alternator, turn the pulley by hand to make sure the rotor turns smoothly and
without noise.
23. Install the alternator (see page 4-36) and the drive belt (see page 4-31).

27. Drain the engine oil (see page 8-10).
28. Drain the transmission fluid: Manual transmission (see step 3 on page 13-5)
Automatic transmission (see step 3 on page14-232)
29. Disconnect the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor connector (A).
30. Remove the grommet (B), then disconnect the secondary heated oxygen sensor (secondary
HO2S) connector (C).
31. Remove the three way catalytic converter (TWC) (D).
32. A/T model: Remove the shift cable. Do not bend the cables excessively (see step 39 on page 14-239).
33. Separate the stabilizer links (see page 18-25).
34. Separate the knuckles from the lower arms (see step 6 on page 18-21).
35. Remove the driveshafts (see page 16-4). Coat all precision-finished surfaces with new engine oil. Tie
plastic bags over the driveshaft ends. 36. Remove the steering gearbox bracket (A).
37. Remove the steering gearbox mounting bolt (B),
the stiffener mounting bolt (C), and the stiffener (D).
38. Remove the steering gearbox mounting bolt (A), the stiffener mounting bolt (B), and the stiffener (C).
39. Remove the harness clamp (D) from the subframe.

56. Install the ECM/PCM (A), then install the ECM/PCM
cover (B).
57. Connect the battery cables (A) to the under-hood fuse/relay box.
58. Install the harness clamp (B). 59. Install the pipe (A).
60. Connect the connector (B), and install the harness
clamps (C).
61. Install the under cowl-panel (see step 4 on page 20-164).
62. Install the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345).
63. Install the front wheels.
64. Do the battery installation procedure (see page 22-69).
65. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so the fuel pump
runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel
line. Repeat this operation three times, then check
for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
66. Refill the engine with engine oil (see step 4 on page 8-10).
