8. Install two bolts (A) securing the evaporativeemission (EVAP) canister purge valve bracket.
9. Connect the breather hose (B), and install the dipstick (C).
10. Connect the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve connector.
11. Install the four ignition coils (see page 4-21).
12. Install the engine cover. NOTE:
Use fender covers to avoid damaging the painted surfaces.
To avoid damaging the wire and terminals, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the
connector portion.
Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to the data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3),
and monitor the engine coolant temperature (ECT)
sensor 1. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait
until the engine coolant temperature drops below
38 °C (100 °F) before loosening the cylinder head
bolts.
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection. Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.
1. Relieve the fuel pressure (see page 11-322).
2. Drain the engine coolant (see page 10-8).
3. Remove the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345).
4. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-31).
5. Remove the intake manifold: K20Z2 engine (see page 9-3)
K20Z3 engine (see page 9-7)
6. Remove the exhaust manifold (see page 9-11).
7. Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister hose (A) and the brake booster vacuum
hose (B).

25. Install the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345).
26. After installation, check that all tubes, hoses and connectors are installed correctly.
27. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so that 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.

1. Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to thedata link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3).
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain
control module (PCM). If it does not communicate,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11- 204).
4. Check for DTCs (see page 11-3). If a DTC is present, diagnose, and repair the cause before continuing
with this test.
5. Check the OIL PRESSURE SWITCH in the PGM-FI DATA LIST with the HDS.
Replace the gauge control module (tach)
(see page 22-277).
Go to step 6.
6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
7. Check the oil pressure switch (see page 8-9).
Go to step 8.
Replace the oil pressure switch (see page 8-9).
8. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and jump the SCS line with the HDS, then turn the ignition switch
to LOCK (0).
NOTE: This step must be done to protect the ECM/
PCM from damage.
9. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector B (44P) and the oil pressure switch connector. 10. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector
terminal B7 and the oil pressure switch connector.
Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the
latest software (see page 11-227), or substitute a
known-good ECM/PCM (see page 11-7), then
recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with
a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original
ECM/PCM (see page 11-228).

pressure switch and ECM/PCM connector terminal
