5. Install the quick connector cap on the quick connector joint (onengine side only).
6. Install the fuel hose and tube to hose clamps.
7. Refill the engine coolant. Refer to CO-11, "
REFILLING ENGINE
COOLANT" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

After installing fuel tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.
–Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel
leaks at connections.
–Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at the connections.

Perform procedures for “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning ” after finishing repairs. Refer to EC-78,
"Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning" .

If electric throttle control actuator is replaced, perform procedures for “Idle Air Volume Learning” after fin-
ishing repairs. Refer to EC-78, "
Idle Air Volume Learning" .

Install new exhaust manifold gasket with the top of the triangular
up mark on it facing up and its coated face (gray side) toward
the exhaust manifold side.

Tighten the exhaust manifold nuts in the numerical order shown.
Then recheck the torque of the nuts both (A) and (B).

Before installing new air fuel ration A/F sensors, clean the exhaust system threads using Tool and apply
anti-seize lubricant.
CAUTION:

Do not over tighten the air fuel ratio A/F sensors. Doing so may cause damage to the sensor,
resulting in the MIL coming on.
