REMOVAL
a.Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
b. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the engine coolant temperature drops below normal
temperature before removing it.
c. When handling a metal gasket, take care not to fold the gasket or damage the contact surface of the gasket.
d. To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
a.Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
b. Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is at top dead center.
1. Remove the air duct and the battery(A) after disconnecting the terminals(B) from the battery.
2.Remove the engine cover.
3. Remove the intake air hose and air cleaner assembly.
(1) Disconnect the MAF connector(A).

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Perform the following :a. Adjust the shift cable.
b. Refill the engine with engine oil.
c. Refill the transaxle with fluid.
d. Refill the radiator with engine coolant.
e. Bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
f. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper assemble them, then apply grease to prevent
corrosion.
g. Inspect for fuel leakage.
After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for
approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
