that position.
CAUTION:
Inserting quick connector release hard will not disconnect
quick connector. Hold quick connector release where it
contacts and goes no further.
6. Draw and pull out quick connector straight from fuel tube.
CAUTION:
Pull quick connector holding “A” position.
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 during installa-
tion/removal.
To keep clean the connecting portion and to avoid dam-
age and foreign materials, cover them completely with
plastic bags or something similar.
7. Remove intake manifold. Refer to EM-18, "

Never 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, never insert it quickly
into fuel tube.
Insert O-ring straight into fuel tube. Never twist it.

2. Install fuel injector (4) to fuel tube (1) with the following proce-
dure:
a. Insert clip (2) into clip groove (F) on fuel injector.
Insert clip so that protrusion (G) of fuel injector matches cut-
out (D) of clip.
CAUTION:
Never 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
cut-out (C) of clip.
Make sure that fuel tube flange (A) is securely fixed in flange
fixing groove (E) on clip.
c. Make sure that installation is complete by making sure that fuel
injector does not rotate or come off.
3. Set fuel tube and fuel injector assembly at its position for installation on cylinder head.
CAUTION:
For installation, be careful not to interfere with fuel injector nozzle.
4. Tighten bolts in numerical order as shown.
5. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.

7. Remove camshaft position sensor (PHASE) from camshaft bracket.
CAUTION:
Handle carefully to avoid dropping and shocks.
Never disassemble.
Never allow metal powder to adhere to magnetic part at sensor tip.
Never place sensor in a location where it is exposed to magnetism.
8. Put the matching mark (A) on the camshaft sprocket (INT) (2)
and the camshaft bracket (1) as shown.
NOTE:
It prevents the knock pin of the camshaft (INT) from engaging
with the incorrect pin hole when installing the camshaft sprocket
(INT).
9. Remove camshaft sprockets (INT) (1) and (EXH) (2).
Secure hexagonal part (A) of camshaft with a wrench. Loosen
camshaft sprocket bolts and remove camshaft sprocket.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft or camshaft while timing chain
is removed. It causes interference between valve and
piston.
Never loosen the bolts with securing anything other
than the camshaft hexagonal part or with tensioning
the timing chain.
10. Loosen bolts in reverse order as shown.
11. Cut liquid gasket by prying the position ( ) shown, and then
remove the camshaft bracket.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surface.
A more adhesive liquid gasket is applied compared to

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak.
Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to GI-46, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in the guide may
generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.
Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil
and engine coolant.
Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
Inspection of Camshaft Sprocket (INT) Oil Groove
CAUTION:
Perform this inspection only when DTC P0011 is detected in self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-II
and it is directed according to inspection procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-47, "
ON BOARD
DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM" .
Check when engine is cold so as to prevent burns from the splashing engine oil.
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-5, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Remove intake manifold. Refer to EM-18, "
