INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL INJECTORS AND DELIVERY PIPE
(a) Install new insulator and grommet to each injector.
(b) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline to 2 new O±
rings and install them to each injector.
(c) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline on the place
where a delivery pipe touches an O±ring of the injector.
(d) While turning the injector clockwise and counterclock-
wise, push it to the delivery pipe. Install the 6 injectors.
(e) Position the injector connector outward.
(f) Place the 3 spacers in position on the intake manifold.
(g) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline on the place
where a intake manifold touches an O±ring of the injector.
(h) Place the 6 injectors together with the delivery pipe and
3 bolts in position on the intake manifold.
(i) Temporarily install the 3 bolts holding the delivery pipe to
the intake manifold.
(j) Check that the injectors rotate smoothly.
HINT:
If injectors do not rotate smoothly, the probable cause is incor-
rect installation of O±rings. Replace the O±rings.
(k) Position the injector connector upward.
(l) Connect the 6 injector connectors.
HINT:
The Nos.1, 3, 5 injector connectors and dark gray, and the
Nos.2, 4, 6 injector connectors are brown.
(m) Tighten the 3 bolts holding the delivery pipe to the intake
manifold.
Torque: 21 N´m (210 kgf´cm, 15 ft´lbf)
(n) Connect the camshaft position sensor connector.
(o) Connect the throttle position sensor connector.
(p) Connect the VSV connector for EVAP.
2. INSTALL FUEL PRESSURE PULSATION DAMPER
(See page SF±27)
3. INSTALL AIR INTAKE CHAMBER
(See page SF±49)
4. INSTALL ENGINE COVER
Install the engine cover with the 4 nuts.

THROTTLE BODY
ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. REMOVE ENGINE COVER
Remove the 4 nuts and engine cover.
2. INSPECT SYSTEM OPERATION
(a) Check that the throttle linkage moves smoothly.
(b) Inspect the throttle control motor for operating sound.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor
lever, check the running sound of the motor. Also,
check that there is no friction sound.
If operation is not as specified, check the throttle control motor,
wiring and ECM.
(c) Inspect the throttle position sensor and accelerator pedal
position sensor function.
(1) Connect the LEXUS hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor
lever to the full±open position, check that the
throttle valve opening percentage (THROTTLE
POS) of the CURRENT DATA showns the standard
value.
Throttle valve opening percentage: 60 % or more
If operation is not as specified, check that the throttle position
sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor, wiring and ECM.
(d) Start the engine, and check that the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) does not light up.
(e) Inspect the air assist system.
(1) Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating
temperature.

STEERING WHEEL
INSPECTION
1. CHECK STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY
With the vehicle stopped and tires pointed straight ahead, rock
the steering wheel gently back and forth with light finger pres-
sure.
Freeplay should not exceed the maximum.
Maximum freeplay: 30 mm (1.18 in.)
2. CHECK STEERING EFFORT
(a) Center the steering wheel.
(b) Remove the steering wheel pad. (See page SR±11)
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Measure the steering effort in both directions.
Reference: 7 N´m (70 kgf´cm, 61 in.´lbf)
HINT:
Be sure to consider the tire type, pressure and contact surface
before making your diagnosis.
(e) Disconnect the PPS solenoid connector.
(f) Measure the steering effort in both directions and check
that the steering effort exceeds the reference value in (d),
and that the power assist is operating. If steering effort is
not heavier than (d), check the solenoid.
HINT:
Take the tire type, pressure and contact surface into consider-
ation before making your diagnosis.
(g) Connect the connector.
(h) Torque the steering wheel set nut.
Torque: 35 N´m (360 kgf´cm, 26 ft´lbf)
(i) Install the steering wheel pad.
