FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE
• 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.
• When installing O-ring, be careful not to scratch it with tool or fingernails. Also be careful not to
twist or stretch O-ring. If O-ring was stretc hed while it was being attached, do not insert it
quickly into fuel tube.
• Insert O-ring straight into fuel tube. Do not angle or twist it.
3. Install fuel injector to fuel tube.
a. Insert clip into clip mounting groove on fuel injector. • Insert clip so that lug “A” of fuel injector matches notch “A” ofthe clip.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse clip. Replace it with a new one.
• Be careful to keep clip from interfering with O-ring. Ifinterference occurs, replace O-ring.
b. Insert fuel injector into fuel tube with 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 fuel tube flange is securely fixed in flange fixing groove on clip.
c. Make sure that installation is complete by checking that fuel injector does not rotate or come off.
• Make sure that protrusions of fuel injectors are aligned withcutouts of clips after installation.
4. Install fuel tube and fuel injector assembly to intake manifold. CAUTION:
Be careful not to let tip of injector nozzle come in contact with other parts.
• Tighten fuel tube assembly bolts “a” to “b” in illustration and in
two steps.
5. Install fuel hose assembly. • Follow the precautions for fuel injector when handling O-ring.
• Insert connectors straight, making sure 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 flange and fuel tube after tightening bolts.
6. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
After installing fuel tubes, make sure there are no fuel leaks at connections using the following steps.
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at connections.
2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections. WARNING:

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels in cluding engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are
lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel leakage at the connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, che ck again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

5. Install the camshaft sprockets using the following procedure:• A: LH bank shown
a. Install the camshaft sprockets aligning them with the matching marks painted on the timing chain (B) and the camshaft sprock-
ets (C) before removal. Align the camshaft sprocket key groove
with the dowel pin on the camshaft front edge at the same time.
Then temporarily tighten camshaft sprocket bolts.
• Install the intake (VTC) (A) and exhaust (B) side camshaft
sprockets by selectively using the groove of the dowel pin
according to the bank for the exhaust (B) side camshaft
sprockets. (Common part used for both exhaust banks.)
NOTE:
Use the groove marked "R" for RH bank and "L" for LH bank.
b. Lock the hexagonal part of the camshaft in the same way as for removal, and tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts.
c. Check again that the timing alignment mark on the timing chain and on each sprocket are aligned.
6. Install the chain tensioner using the following procedure: NOTE:
LH is shown.
a. Install the chain tensioner. • Compress the plunger and hold it using a stopper pin wheninstalling.
• Loosen the slack guide side timing chain by rotating the cam- shaft hexagonal part if mounting space is small.
b. Remove the stopper pin and release the plunger, and then apply tension to the timing chain.
c. Install the chain tensioner cover onto the front cover. • Apply liquid gasket as shown.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to

• Perform this inspection only when
DTC P0011 is detected in self-diagnostic results of CONSULT III
and it is directed according to inspecti on procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-87, "
On Board Diag-
nosis Logic".
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-8, "
Inspection".
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while checking.
a. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-487, "
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 solenoid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a
shop cloth to prevent engine oil from splash ing on worker, engine components and vehicle.
• Do not allow engine oil to get on rubber components 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 valve and camshaft sprocket (INT), and then check each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary.
7. After inspection, installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
