Reolacement
!!@ Do not smoke while working on fuel system. Keep open flame away from your work a.ea.
1. Relieve the fuel pressure(seepagell-118).
2. Jack up the vehicle, and support it with jackstands.
3. Remove the drain bolt, and drain the fuel into an approved container.
4. Remove the rear seat (Hatchbackt Remove the spare tire lid and the protective cover), and access panels, and discon-
nect the 2P and 3P connectors.
5. Remove the EVAP two way valve cover and fuel hose protector, and disconnect the connectors.
6. Disconnect the hoses (see page 11-105). Slide back the clamps, then twist hoses as you pull, to avoid damaging them.
7. Place a tack, or other support, under the tank.
8. Remove the strap nuts, and let the straps fall free.
9. Remove the fuel tank.
lf it sticks on the undercoat applied to its mount, carefully pry it offthe mount.
10. lnstallthe drain bolt with a new washer, then coat the drain bolt with Noxrust 1248. Allow the Noxrust to dry tor 20
minutes.
11. Installthe remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.

The system supplies air for all engine needs. lt consists of the intake air pipe. Air Cleaner (ACL), intake air duct, Throttle
Body (TB), ldle Air Control (lAC) Valve, fast idle thermo valve (A,/T model only), and intake manifold.
A resonator in the intake air pipe provides additional silencing as air is drawn into the system.

Description
The throttle body is of the single barrel side-draft type.
The lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by
engine coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting
screw which increases/decreases bypass air is located on
the top ot the thronle body.

Inspection
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load {in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
2. Stop the engine, and check that the throttle cable
operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
. lf the throttle body pon is clogged, clean it with
carburetor cleaner.
. lf there are any abnormalities in the above steps,
check for:
Excessive wear or play in the throttle valve shaft.- Sticky or binding throttle lever at full close posi-
tion.- Clearance between throttle stop screw and throt-
tle lever at fullclose position.

There should beno clearance.

Intake Air System
Intake Air Bypass (lAB) Control System [818C1 enginel
Descriplion
Two air intake oaths are erovided in the intake manifold to allow the selection of the intake path most favofable for a given
engine speed.
Satjsfactory power performance is achieved by closing and opening the intake air bypass (lAB) control valves. High torque
at low RpM is acheived when the valves are closed, whereas high power at high RPM is achieved by when the valves are
opened.
