fuel tube by pulling straight out.
CAUTION:
• Be careful with remaining fuel that may leak out from fuel
tube.
• Do not damage injector nozzles during removal.
• Do not bump or drop fuel injectors.
• Do not disassemble fuel injectors.
10. Remove fuel damper from each fuel tube.
INSTALLATION
1. Install fuel damper to each fuel tube.
a. Apply engine oil to O-ring and set it into the cap of fuel tube. CAUTION:
• Handle O-ring with bare hands. Never wear gloves.
• Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
• Do not clean O-ring with solvent.
• Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of for- eign material.
• When installing O-ring, be car eful not to scratch it with
tool or fingernails. Also be careful not to twist or stretch
O-ring.
b. Make sure that backup spacer is in the O-ring connecting sur- face of fuel damper.
NOTE:
Backup spacer is fuel damper assembly part.
c. Insert fuel damper until it seats on fuel tube. CAUTION:
• Insert straight, making sure that the axis is lined up.
• Do not pressure-fit with excessive force.
d. Install cap, and then tighten bolts evenly by turns. • After tightening bolts, make sure that there is no gap between cap and fuel tube.
2. Install O-rings to fuel injector paying attention to the items below. CAUTION:

• Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
• Do not 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 stretc hed while it was being attached, do not insert it
quickly into fuel tube.
• Insert O-ring straight into fuel tube. Do not angle or twist it.
3. Install fuel injector to fuel tube.
a. Insert clip into clip mounting groove on fuel injector. • Insert clip so that lug “A” of fuel injector matches notch “A” ofthe clip.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse clip. Replace it with a new one.
• Be careful to keep clip from interfering with O-ring. Ifinterference 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 lug “B” of fuel tube matches notch
“B” of the clip.
• Make sure that fuel tube flange is securely fixed in flange fixing groove on clip.
c. Make sure that installation is complete by checking that fuel injector does not rotate or come off.
• Make sure that protrusions of fuel injectors are aligned withcutouts of clips after installation.
4. Install fuel tube and fuel injector assembly to intake manifold. CAUTION:
Be careful not to let tip of injector nozzle come in contact with other parts.
• Tighten fuel tube assembly bolts “a” to “b” in illustration and in
two steps.
5. Install fuel hose assembly. • Follow the precautions for fuel injector when handling O-ring.
• Insert connectors straight, making sure that the axis is lined up with fuel tube side to prevent O-ring from
being damaged.
• Tighten bolts evenly in several steps.
• Make sure that there is no gap between flange and fuel tube after tightening bolts.
6. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
After installing fuel tubes, make sure there are no fuel leaks at connections using the following steps.
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at connections.
2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections. WARNING:

b. Select the one most visible notch of the four on the bolt flange.Corresponding to the selected notch, put a alignment mark
(such as paint) on the crankshaft pulley.
14. Rotate the crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when viewed from engine front) to check for parts interference.
15. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse of order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels in cluding engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are
lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-13, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel leakage at the connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, che ck 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 and 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, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

• Perform this inspection only when
DTC P0011 is detected in self-diagnostic results of CONSULT III
and it is directed according to inspecti on procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-88, "
On Board Diag-
nosis Logic".
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-8, "
Inspection".
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while checking.
a. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-489, "
Fuel Pressure Check".
b. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors if practical.
3. Remove IVT control solenoid valve.
4. Crank engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out from IVT control cover oil hole. End cranking after checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive be lts, idler pulley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Engine oil may squirt from IVT control solenoid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a
shop cloth to prevent engine oil from splash ing on worker, engine components and vehicle.
• Do not allow engine oil to get on rubber components such as drive belts or engine mount insula- tors. Immediately wipe off any splashed engine oil.
5. Clean oil groove between oil strainer and IVT control solenoid valve if engine oil does not come out from IVT control valve cover oil hole. Refer to LU-7, "
Schematic".
6. Remove components between IVT control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT), and then check each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary.
7. After inspection, installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
