Surface Distortion
Check the surface distortion of the intake manifold mating sur-
face with a straightedge and a feeler gauge.
If it exceeds the limit, replace intake manifold.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
Before installing a new air fuel ratio sensor 1 and new heated oxygen sensor 2, clean exhaust sys-
tem 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 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2. Doing so may cause dam-
age to air fuel ratio sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2, resulting in the “MIL” coming on.
