PrecautionsNJEC0603+Before connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect nega-
tive battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the
ECM because battery voltage is applied to ECM even if
ignition switch is turned off.
SEF881Y
+When connecting ECM harness connectors, push in both
sides of the connector until you hear a click. Maneuver the
lever until you hear the three connectors on the inside
click. Refer to the figure at left.
SEF291H
+When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
MEF040D
+Before replacing ECM, perform Terminals and Reference
Value inspection and make sure ECM functions properly.
Refer to EC-659.
SAT652J
+If MI illuminates or blinks irregularly when engine is
running, water may have accumulated in fuel filter. Drain
water from fuel filter. If this does not correct the problem,
perform specified trouble diagnostic procedures.
+After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº or ªOverall Function
Checkº.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ª DTC Confirma-
tion Procedureº if the repair is completed. The ªOverall
Function Checkº should be a good result if the repair is
completed.

Spray Pattern TestNJEC0619S051. Check spray pattern by pumping tester handle one full stroke
per second.
NG spray pattern:
Does not inject straight and strong (B in the figure).
Fuel drips (C in the figure).
Does not inject evenly (D in the figure).
2. If the spray pattern is not correct, replace injection nozzle
assembly.

15. Remove the fuel injection pump mounting bolts.
+The seal washer of the mounting bolts cannot be reused.
CAUTION:
For removal, be careful not to drop the seal washer into the
engine.
JEF366Y
InstallationNJEC0620S02+It is not necessary to adjust the injection timing by changing the
installation angle which used to be performed with conven-
tional fuel injection pumps. The installation position can be
simply decided by the dowel pin and the mounting bolts.
1. Before the fuel injection pump is installed, check that the notch
of its flange and the 6 mm (0.24 in) dia. hole on the body are
aligned.
JEF367Y
2. Insert the fuel injection pump to the mounting position from the
rear of the engine.
+Adjust the fuel injection pump bracket position to the dowel pin,
then install it.
JEF364Y
3. Using the extension bar (SST) and the Torx socket, tighten the
mounting bolts of the fuel injection pump.
4. Remove the sprocket holder (SST).
JEF358Y
5. Using the torx wrench (SST), turn the pump shaft gradually to
adjust the position of the flange. Then, insert the positioning
stopper pin (SST) to the 6 mm (0.24 in) dia. hole of the fuel
injection pump sprocket through the pump flange and the
pump body.
6. Remove the torx wrench (SST).

3. Install the fuel filter, filter bracket, and protector assembly tem-
porarily. Then, drain the water by pumping the priming pump
with the filter standing straight.
+Extend the drain hose if necessary.
Water amount when the MI lights up:
65 - 100 m!(2.3 - 3.5 Imp fl oz)
CAUTION:
When the water is drained, the fuel is also drained. Use a pan,
etc. to avoid fuel adherence to the rubber parts such as the
engine mount insulator.
4. Tighten the water draining cock, then install the fuel filter, filter
bracket, protector assembly in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not over-tighten the water draining cock. This will damage
the cock thread, resulting in water or fuel leak.
5. Bleed air of the fuel filter. Refer to EC-625.
+Start engine and let it idle for at least one minute after
performing air bleeding.
6. Start the engine, then check that the MI goes off. (If water in
fuel filter sensor is equipped.)
