Warning
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep
sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and
damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the “Fuel Line
Safety Procedure”. (See F2–45 Fuel Line Safety Procedures.)
1. Remove the timing belt. (See B2–9 TIMING BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2. Remove the vacuum pump. (See P–13 VACUUM PUMP REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (MZR-CD (RF
TURBO)).)
3. Remove the P/S oil pump with the oil hose still connected. Position the P/S oil pump so that it is out of the way.
Use wire or rope to secure. (See N–16 POWER STEERING OIL PUMP (MZR-CD (RF Turbo)) REMOVAL/
INSTALLATION.)
4. Remove the turbocharger. (See F2–57 EXHAUST SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5. Remove all the glow plugs. (See F2–42 GLOW PLUG REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
6. Remove in the order shown in the table.
7. Install in the reverse order of removal.
8. Inspect valve clearance. (See B2–5 VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION.)
9. Inspect the engine oil level.
•If necessary, add oil. (See D–8 ENGINE OIL INSPECTION.)
10. Inspect the compression. (See B2–8 COMPRESSION INSPECTION.)
11. Start the engine and:
(1) Inspect the pulleys and the drive belt for runout and contact.
(2) Inspect the engine oil, engine coolant, and fuel leakage.
(3) Inspect the idle speed. (See F2–34 IDLE SPEED INSPECTION.)

Warning
•Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it and the
engine oil have cooled.
•A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is dangerous. It can slip or fall,
causing death or serious injury. Never work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely
supported on safety stands.
•Continuous exposure to USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your
skin by washing with soap and water immediately after working with engine oil.
Caution
•In case you spill engine oil on the front pipe, wipe it off completely. If you fail to wipe the spilled
oil, it will produce fumes because of the heat.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Remove the the oil filler cap.
3. Remove the under cover.

•The PCM terminal voltages vary with change in measuring conditions and vehicle conditions.
Always carry out a total inspection of the input systems, output systems, and PCM to determine
the cause of trouble. Otherwise, a wrong diagnosis will be made.
1. Measure the voltage at each terminal.
•If any incorrect voltage is detected, inspect the related system(s), wiring harnesses and connector(s)
referring to the Action column in the terminal voltage table.

(2) Apply a slight amount of clean engine oil to
the sealing surface of the fuel pump unit.
(3) Align the fuel pipe on the fuel pump unit and
quick release connector so that the tabs of the
retainer are correctly fitted into the quick
release connector. Push the quick release
connector straight into the retainer until a click
is heard.
(4) Lightly pull and push the quick release
connector a few times by hand and verify that
it can move 2.0—3.0 mm {0.08—0.11 in} and
it is connected securely.
•If the quick release connector does not
move at all, verify that O-ring is not
damaged of that is has not slipped, and reconnect the quick release connector.
2. When the retainer is removed, perform the following procedure.

FUEL TANK INSPECTIONA6E401242110202
Caution
•Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause
damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector
joint area before disconnecting/connecting using a cloth or soft brush, and make sure that it is
free of foreign material.
Note
•This inspection is for two rollover valves and check valve (two-way) integrated in the fuel tank.
1. Remove the fuel tank with the fuel gauge sender unit. (See F2–45 FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2. Plug the fuel pipe of the fuel gauge sender unit.
3. Plug port C.
4. Connect the pump to port B.
5. Level the fuel tank.
6. Apply pressure of +2.0 kpa {+34 mmHg, +1.3
inHg} to port B.
(1) Verify there is airflow from port A.
•If there is no airflow, replace the fuel tank.
7. Apply pressure of –5.9 kPa {–44 mmHg, –1.7
inHg} to port B.
•If there is no vacuum, replace the fuel tank.
•If there is vacuum, turn the fuel tank
upside-down and proceed to next step.
8. Apply pressure of +2.0 kPa {+15 mmHg, +0.6
