• Do not use a wire brush for cleaning the spark plugs. Replace as
necessary.
• If plug is covered with carbon, a spark plug cleaner may be used.
• Checking and adjusting plug gap is not required between change intervals. If the gap is out of s pecification, replace the spark plug.
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock plug.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
CAUTION:
Always tighten the spark plug to sp ecified torque to align the orientation of electrodes. The ground
electrode of a genuine spark plug is positioned in the area of maximum ignitability by tightening to the
specified torque. When replacing spark plugs, use genuine spark plugs of which the ground electrode
is adjusted.

O• Handle O-rings with bare hands only. Do not wear gloves.
• Do not clean O-rings with solvent.
• Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of foreign material.
• Be careful not to scratch O- rings during installation.
• Do not twist or stretch the O-ring. If the O-ring was stretched while it is attached, do not insert it
into the fuel tube immediately.
2. Install the fuel injector (5) into the fuel tube (1) with the following procedure:
(2): O-ring (black)
(4): O-ring (green)
a. Insert the new clip (3) into the clip mounting groove (F) on fuel injector (5).
• Insert the clip (3) so that prot rusion (E) of fuel injector (5)
matches cutout (C) of the clip (3).
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse clip (3), replace it with a new one.
• Be careful to keep clip from interfering with O-ring. If
interference occurs, replace O-ring.
b. Insert fuel injector (5) into fuel tube (1) with clip (3) attached. • Insert fuel injector (5) so that protrusion (A) of fuel tube (1)
matches cut-out (B) of the clip (3).
• Check that fuel tube flange (G) is securely fixed in flange
groove (D) on the clip (3).
c. Check that installation is comple te by checking that fuel injector
(5) does not rotate or come off.
3. Install fuel tube and fuel injector assembly with the following procedure.
a. Insert the tip of each fuel injector into intake manifold.

is positioned slightly below the quick connector bottom end.
CAUTION:
• Hold at position (A) as show n, when inserting the fuel
tube into the quick connector.
• Carefully align to center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to the O-ring inside the quick connector.
• Insert the fuel tube until you hear a “click” sound and
actually feel the engagement.
• To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar
sound, be sure to perform the next step.
• Do not reuse O-ring.
e. Before clamping the fuel hose with the hose clamp, pull the quick connector hard by hand, holding at the
(A) position, as shown. Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it does not come off of the
fuel tube.
NOTE:
Recommended pulling force is 50 N (5.1 kg, 11.2 lb).
f. Install quick connector cap (1) over fuel hose side (B) and fuel tube side (A).
NOTE:

5. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure there are no fuel leaks at connections as follows:
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. • Perform procedures for “Throttle Valve Closed Posi tion Learning” after finishing repairs. Refer to EC-
178, "Work Procedure".
• If electric throttle control actuator is replaced, perform procedures for “Idle Air Volume Learning” after
finishing repairs. Refer to EC-179, "Work Procedure"
.

c. At the same time, make sure that the mating marks (outer
groove) (B) on camshaft sprockets are lined up with the pink
links (A) in the timing chain, as shown.
• If not, rotate crankshaft pulley one more turn to line up the
mating marks (outer groove) (B) to the pink links (A), as
shown.
10. Remove the timing chain tensioner (primary) with the following procedure.
a. Pull the lever down and release the plunger stopper tab. • Plunger stopper tab can be pushed up to release (coaxial
structure with lever).
b. Insert the stopper pin into the tensioner body hole to hold the lever and keep tab released.
NOTE:
Allen wrench [2.5 mm (0.098)] is used for a stopper pin as an
example.
c. Insert plunger into tensioner body by pressing slack guide.
d. Keep slack the guide pressed and hold it by pushing the stopper
pin through the lever hole and body hole.
e. Remove the bolts and remove the timing chain tensioner (pri- mary).
11. Remove camshaft sprockets with the following procedure. CAUTION:
• Do not rotate the crankshaft or camshaft while the timing chain is removed. It causes interference between valve
and piston.
NOTE:
• Chain tension holding work is not necessary. Timing chain does not fall off the crankshaft sprocket while the front cover is
attached.
