SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
*: The ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
When the engine is running at low or medium speed, the power valve isfully closed. Under this condition, the
effective suction port length is equivalentto the total lengt h of the intake manifold collector's suction port includ-
ingthe intake valve. This long suction port provides incr eased air intake whichresults in improved suction effi-
ciency and higher torque generation.
The surge tank and one-way valve are provided. When engine is runningat high speed, the ECM sends the
signal to the VIAS control solenoid valve.This signal introduces the intake manifold vacuum into the power
valve actuatorand therefore opens the power valve to two suction passages together in thecollector.
Under this condition, the effective port length is equi valent to thelength of the suction port provided indepen-
dently for each cylinder. Thisshortened port length results in enhanced engine output with reduced suctionre-
sistance under high speeds.
The power valve is always open regardless of the engine speed when gear position is in N or P.

Precaution for Assembly and InstallationINFOID:0000000001325697
Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified,
do exactly as specified.
Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
Dowel pins are used for several parts alignment. When replacing and reassembling parts with dowel pins, make sure that dowel pins are installed in the original position.
Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for any restriction and blockage.
Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely re move foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
Release air within route when refilling after draining engine coolant.
After repairing, start the engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, engine oil, and
exhaust gases for leakage.
Precaution for Angle TighteningINFOID:0000000001325698
Use the angle wrench [SST: KV10112100 (BT8653-A)] for the final tightening of the following engine parts:
- Cylinder head bolts
- Main bearing cap bolts
- Connecting rod cap bolts
- Crankshaft pulley bolt (No the angle wrench is required as bolt flange is provided with notches for angletightening)
Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.
Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000001325699
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
After removing mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating sur- face using the seal cutter (SST) and remove old liquid gasket seal-
ing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
Tap the seal cutter to insert it, and then slide it by tapping on the side as shown in the figure.
In areas where the seal cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic ham-
mer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason tool such as a screwdriver is
used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket application surface and the mating surface.
Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the gas-
ket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur- face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.

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 ra tio sensor 1 and heated oxygen sen sor 2. Doing so may cause damage
to air fuel ratio sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2, resulting in the “MIL” coming on.
