• If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.
• As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified in t he procedure, it should also be
applied outside the holes.
• Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
• If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten after the installation.
• Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling the
engine with engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.

• 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).

FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE
7. Remove the fuel injector from the fuel tube using the followingsteps.
a. Spread open and remove the clip.
b. Remove the fuel injector from the fuel tube by pulling straight out.
CAUTION:
• Be careful with remaining fuel that may leak out from fueltube.
• Do not damage injector nozzles during removal.
• Do not bump or drop fuel injectors.
• Do not disassemble fuel injectors.
8. Remove the fuel damper from each fuel tube.
INSTALLATION

• Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of for-eign material.
• When installing O-ring, do not scratch it with tool or fin-
gernails.
• Do not twist or stretch the O-ring.
b. Make sure that the backup spacer is in the O-ring connecting surface of the fuel damper.
NOTE:
The backup spacer is part of the fuel damper assembly.
c. Insert the fuel damper until it seats on the fuel tube. CAUTION:
• Insert straight, making sure that the axis is lined up.
• Do not pressure-fit with excessive force.
d. Install the cap, and then tighten the bolts evenly. • After tightening the bolts, make sure that there is no gap between the cap and fuel tube.

• If O-ring was stretched while it was being att ached, do not insert it quickly into fuel tube.
• Insert O-ring straight into fuel tube. Do not angle or twist it.
3. Install the fuel injector to the fuel tube using the following steps.
a. Insert new clip into clip mounting groove on the fuel injector. • Insert clip so that lug ″A ″ of fuel injector matches notch ″A ″ of
the clip.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse clip. Replace it with a new one.
• Do not allow the clip to interf ere with the O-ring. If inter-
ference occurs, replace the O-ring.
b. Insert the fuel injector into the fuel tube with the clip attached. • Insert it while matching it to the axial center.
• Insert fuel injector so that lug ″B ″ of fuel tube matches notch
″ 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.
• Tighten bolts evenly in several steps.
• Make sure that there is no gap between the flange and fuel tube after tightening the bolts.
CAUTION:
• Handle O-ring with bare hands. Do not wear gloves.
• Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
• Do not clean O-ring with solvent.
• Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of foreign material.
