Exhaust Manifold Gasket
Install in direction shown below. (Follow same procedure for
both banks.)
Locate thick side of port connecting part on right side from tech-
nician’s view.
Locate round press in thick side of port connecting part above
center level line of port.
Exhaust Manifold
If stud bolts were removed, install them and tighten to the specified torque below.
Install exhaust manifold and tighten mounting bolts in numerical
order as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Tighten nuts No. 1 and 2 in two steps. The numerical order No. 7
and 8 shows second step.
Air Fuel Ratio Sensor
CAUTION:
Before installing a new air fuel ratio sensor, clean exhaust system threads using heated oxygen
sensor thread cleaner tool (Commercial Service Tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12) and apply anti-
seize lubricant.
Do not over torque air fuel ratio sensor. Doing so may cause damage to air fuel ratio sensor,
resulting in the “MIL” coming on.

REMOVAL
WAR NING :
Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.
Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.
Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
To avoid the danger of being scalded, do not drain engine coolant when the engine is hot.
1. Remove engine room cover (RH and LH). Refer to EM-14, "
ENGINE ROOM COVER" .
2. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-19, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
3. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-98, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
4. Drain engine coolant, or when water hoses are disconnected, attach plug to prevent engine coolant leak-
age. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant" and EM-19, "INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .

CAUTION:
Perform this step when the engine is cold.
5. Remove fuel feed hose (with damper) from fuel sub-tube.
NOTE:
There is no fuel return route.
CAUTION:
While hoses are disconnected, plug them to prevent fuel
from draining.
Do not separate damper and hose.
6. When separating fuel feed hose (with damper) and centralized under-floor piping connection, disconnect
quick connector as follows:
a. Remove quick connector cap from quick connector connection
on right member side.
b. Disconnect fuel feed hose (with damper) from bracket hose
clamp.
c. Disconnect quick connector from centralized under-floor piping as follows:
CAUTION:
Disconnect quick connector by using quick connector release [SST: — (J-45488)], not by picking
out retainer tabs.
i. With the sleeve side of quick connector release facing quick connector, install quick connector release
onto centralized under-floor piping.
ii. Insert quick connector release into quick connector until sleeve
contacts and goes no further. Hold quick connector release on
that position.
CAUTION:
Inserting quick connector release hard will not disconnect
quick connector. Hold quick connector release where it
contacts and goes no further.
iii. Draw and pull out quick connector straight from centralized
under-floor piping.
CAUTION:
Pull quick connector holding “A” position as shown in
the figure.
Do not pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick connector may be damaged.
Prepare container and cloth beforehand as fuel will leak out.
Avoid fire and sparks.
Keep parts away from heat source. Especially, be careful when welding is performed around
them.
Do not expose parts to battery electrolyte or other acids.
Do not bend or twist connection between quick connector and fuel feed hose (with damper) dur-
ing installation/removal.

pipes.
10. Remove spacers on intake manifold.
11. Remove fuel injector from fuel tube as follows:
a. Open and remove clip.
b. Remove fuel injector from fuel tube by pulling straight.
CAUTION:
Be careful with remaining fuel that may go out from fuel
tube.

Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
Do not clean O-ring with solvent.
Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of foreign material.
When installing O-ring, be careful not to scratch it with tool or fingernails. Also be careful not
to twist or stretch O-ring. If O-ring was stretched while it was being attached, do not insert it
quickly into fuel tube.
Insert new O-ring straight into fuel tube. Do not decenter or twist it.
Insert fuel damper and fuel sub-tube straight into fuel tube.
Tighten mounting bolts evenly in turn.
After tightening mounting bolts, make sure that there is no gap between flange and fuel tube.
2. Install new O-rings to fuel injector, paying attention to the following.
CAUTION:
Upper and lower O-ring are different. Be careful not to confuse them.
Handle O-ring with bare hands. Do not wear gloves.
Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
Do not clean O-ring with solvent.
Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of foreign material.
When installing O-ring, be careful not to scratch it with tool or fingernails. Also be careful not to
twist or stretch O-ring. If O-ring was stretched while it was being attached, do not insert it
quickly into fuel tube.
Insert O-ring straight into fuel injector. Do not decenter or twist it.
3. Install fuel injector to fuel tube as follows:
a. Insert clip into clip mounting groove on fuel injector.
Insert clip so that protrusion “A” of fuel injector matches cutout
“A” of clip.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse clip. Replace it with a new one.
Be careful to keep clip from interfering with O-ring. If
interference occurs, replace O-ring.
b. Insert fuel injector into fuel tube with clip attached.
Insert it while matching it to the axial center.
Insert fuel injector so that protrusion “B” of fuel tube matches
cutout “B” of clip.
Make sure that fuel tube flange is securely fixed in flange fix-
ing groove on clip.
c. Make sure that installation is complete by checking that fuel
injector does not rotate or come off.
Make sure that protrusions of fuel injectors are aligned with
cutouts of clips after installation.
4. Install spacers on intake manifold.
5. Install fuel tube and fuel injector assembly to intake manifold.
