3. While securely holding the square hole (A) in pulley center of
auto tensioner (1) with a spinner handle, move spinner handle in
the direction of arrow (loosening direction of drive belt).
CAUTION:
Avoid placing hand in a location where pinching may occur
if the holding tool accidentally comes off.
4. Under the above condition, insert a metallic bar of approximately
6 mm (0.24 in) diameter [hexagonal wrench (C) shown as exam-
ple in the figure] through the holding boss (B) to lock auto-ten-
sioner pulley arm.
5. Remove drive belt.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Make sure drive belt is securely installed around all pulleys.

Make sure drive belt is correctly engaged with the pulley groove.

Check for engine oil and engine coolant are not adhered drive belt and pulley groove.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise several times to equalize tension between each pulley, and then confirm ten-
sion of drive belt at indicator (notch on fixed side) is within the possible use range. Refer to EM-12, "
Checking
Drive Belts" .

4. Remove electric throttle control actuator (bank1, bank2) as follows:
NOTE:
When removing only intake manifold collector, move electric throttle control actuator without disconnect-
ing water hose.
a. Drain engine coolant.
CAUTION:
Perform this step when engine is cold.
b. Disconnect water hoses from electric throttle control actuator. When engine coolant is not drained from
radiator, attach plug to water hoses to prevent engine coolant leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
c. Disconnect harness connector.
d. Loosen mounting bolts in reverse order as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:

Handle carefully to avoid any shock to electric throttle
control actuator.

Do not disassemble.
NOTE:

Figure shows electric throttle control actuator (bank1) viewed
from the air duct side.

Viewed from the air duct side, order of loosening mounting
bolts of electric throttle control actuator (bank2) is the same
as that of the electric throttle control actuator (bank1).
5. Disconnect vacuum hose, PCV hose and EVAP hose from intake manifold collector.
6. Remove EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve and EVAP tube assembly from intake mani-
fold collector.

Install in the reverse order of removal.

Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:

Handle carefully to avoid any shock to electric throttle
control actuator.

Do not disassemble.

The figure shows the electric throttle control actuator
(bank1) viewed from the air duct side.

Viewed from the air duct side, order of tightening mount-
ing bolts of electric throttle control actuator (bank2) is
the same as that of the electric throttle control actuator
(bank1).

Perform the “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning” when harness connector of electric throttle control
actuator is disconnected. Refer to EC-77, "
Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning" .

Perform the “Idle Air Volume Learning” and “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning” when electric throt-
tle control actuator is replaced. Refer to EC-77, "
