• Tighten the intake manifold bolts in numerical order as shown.
• Install the EVAP canister purge control solenoi
d valve connector with it facing front of engine.
• Tighten the electronic throttle control actuator bolts of the electric throttle control actuator equally and diago-
nally in several steps.
• After installation perform inspection after installation.
• Install the water hose so that its overlap width for connection is between 27 mm (1.06 in) and 32 mm (1.26
in) (target: 27 mm 1.06 in).
Connecting Quick Connector of Fuel Tube
Install quick connector as follows (the steps are the same for quick connectors on both engine side and vehi-
cle side except for the quick connector cap).
1. Make sure no foreign substances are deposited in and around tube and quick connector, and they are not
damaged.
2. Thinly apply new engine oil around the fuel tube from tip end to the spool end.
3. Align center to insert quick connector straight into fuel tube. • Insert until the paint mark for engagement identification (white)
goes completely inside quick connector so that you cannot see
it from the straight side of the connected part. Use a mirror to
check this where it is not possible to view directly from the
straight side, such as quick connector on vehicle side.
• Insert fuel tube into quick connector until top spool is com- pletely inside quick connector, and 2nd level spool exposes
right below quick connector on engine side.
CAUTION:
• Hold "A" position in illustration when inserting fuel tubeinto quick connector.
• Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.
• Insert 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.
4. Pull quick connector by hand holding "A" position. Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it does not come out from fuel tube.
NOTE:
Recommended pulling force is 50 N (5.1 kg, 11.2 lb).

″ B ″ of the clip.
• Make sure that the fuel tube flange is securely seated in the flange fixing groove on the clip.
c. Make sure that installation is complete by checking that the fuel injector does not rotate or come off.
• Make sure that the protrusions of the fuel injectors are alignedwith the cutouts of the clips after installation.
4. Install the fuel tube and fuel injector assembly to the intake manifold. CAUTION:
Do not let the tip of the injector nozz le come in contact with other parts.
• Tighten fuel tube assembly bolts ″a ″ to ″b ″ in illustration in two
steps.
5. Install the fuel hose assembly. • Insert connectors straight, making su re that the axis is lined up with fuel tube side to prevent O-ring from
being damaged.

2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-80, "
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 soleno id valve installation hole during cranking. Use a
shop cloth to prevent engine oil from splashin g on worker, engine components and vehicle.
• Do not allow engine oil to get on rubber compon ents 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 va lve and camshaft sprocket (INT), and then check
each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary.

INSPECTION
NOTE:
Perform the following inspection after removal, installation or replacement of camshaft or valve-related parts,
or if there are unusual engine conditions due to changes in valve clearance over time (starting, idling, and/or
noise).
1. Warm up the engine. Then stop the engine.
2. Remove the engine cover and. Refer to EM-12, "
Removal and Installation".
3. Remove the battery cover. Refer to SC-8, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Remove the air cleaner and air duct assembly EM-15, "
Removal and Installation".
5. Remove the RH bank and LH bank rocker covers using power tool. Refer to EM-35, "
Removal and Instal-
lation".

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up the engine thoroughly. Then stop the engine.
2. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-80, "
Fuel Pressure Check".
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is not used to release fuel pressure leave the fu el pump fuse disconnected until
step 7.
3. Remove the spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-29, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Connect the engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
5. Install the compression tester with Tool into the spark plug hole.
6. With the accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn the ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabi-
lizes, read the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform
these steps to check each cylinder.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain specified engine speed.
• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, che ck the battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the
engine speed again with normal battery gravity.
• If the compression pressure is below the minimum value, check the valve clearances and parts associ- ated with the combustion chamber (valve, valve seat , piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head,
cylinder head gasket). After checking, measure the compression pressure again.
• If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour a small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
- If the added engine oil improves the compression, t he piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
the piston rings and replace if necessary.
- If the compression pressure remains at a low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be
malfunctioning. Check the valves for damage. R eplace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low co mpression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, the gaskets may be leaking, or a valve in adjacent cylinders
may be damaged. Inspect and repair as required.
7. Install the components in the reverse order of removal.
8. Start the engine and confirm that it runs smoothly.
9. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-32
.

Valve Stem Diameter
Measure the diameter of the valve stem using suitable tool.
Valve Guide Inside Diameter
Measure the inside diameter of the valve guide using suitable tool.
Valve Guide Clearance
• (Valve guide clearance) = (Valve guide inside diameter) – (Valve stem diameter).
• If the calculated value exceeds the limit, replace valve and/or valve guide.
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT
When the valve guide is removed, replace it with an oversized (0.2 mm, 0.008 in) valve guide.
