system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and TM sections.
Three Way CatalystINFOID:0000000003771200
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
• Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
• When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec-
essary.
• Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the
catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precaution for Fuel (Unlead ed Premium Gasoline Recommended)INFOID:0000000005892332
NISSAN/INFINITI recommends the us e of unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI
(Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96). If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,
unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91), but
you may notice a decrease in performance.
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Usin g leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Using a fuel
other than that specified could adversely affect the emission cont rol devices and systems, and could
also affect the warranty coverage validity.
CAUTION:
Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel
can cause damage to the fuel system components an d is not covered by the INFINTI vehicle limited
warranty.
Multiport Fuel Inje ction System or Engine Control SystemINFOID:0000000003771202
• Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for the
multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
• Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injec- tors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
• Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air flow sensor.

HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
• To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose withtapered tool or screwdriver.

2. Fill the radiator and the reservoir tank (to the “MAX”
line), with water. Reinstall the radiator cap and leave
the vented reservoir cap off.
3. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
4. Press the engine accelerator two or three times under no-load.
5. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain the water from the engine cooling system.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 until clear water begins to drain from the radiator.
Checking Fuel LineINFOID:0000000004215533
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loos e connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Fuel FilterINFOID:0000000003776989
The fuel filter is part of the fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly. Refer to FL-7, "Removal
and Installation" .
WARNING:
Before replacing the fuel filter, release the fuel pressure from the fuel system. Refer to EC-487, "
Fuel
Pressure Check".
Changing Engine Air Cleaner FilterINFOID:0000000004215529
REMOVAL
NOTE:
• The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning between replacement intervals.
• Replace the air filter as necessary for periodic maintenance. Refer to MA-8, "
