WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never drain the coolant when the engine is hot.
1. Disconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector from mass air flow sensor and clamp.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-775, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE (WITH EURO-OBD)],

REMOVAL
The following procedure describes removing and installing camshaft without removing front cover. If the front
cover is removed or installed, removal of No. 1 camshaft bracket is easier before step 8. Installation is easier
after step 3. Regarding removal and installation of front cover, refer to EM-37, "
TIMING CHAIN" .
1. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-775, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE (WITH EURO-OBD)],

●If the engine speed is out of specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine
speed again with normal battery gravity.
●If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with
combustion chamber (Valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure compression pressure again.
●If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug
hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
–If the added engine oil improves the compression, the piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
the piston rings and replace if necessary.
–If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be
malfunctioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
●If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, the gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace the cylinder
head gaskets.
8. Install spark plug, ignition coil and harness connectors.

WARNING:
Be sure to read “General Precautions” when working on fuel system. Refer to FL-3, "
General Precau-
tions" .
1. Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to EC-775, "
FUEL
PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE (WITH EURO-OBD)], EC-
11 3 9 , "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE (WITHOUT
EURO-OBD)],EC-42, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE"
[QR25DE (WITH EURO-OBD)] or EC-452, "FUEL PRESSURE
RELEASE" [QR25DE (WITHOUT EURO-OBD)].
2. Open fuel filer lid.
3. Open the filler cap and release the pressure inside the fuel tank.
4. Check fuel level on level place. If gauge indicates more than the
level shown in figure (full or almost full), drain fuel from fuel tank
until gauge indicates level shown in figure or below.
In case of fuel pump does not operate, take following procedure.
a. Insert fuel tube of less than 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter into fuel
filler tube through fuel filler opening to draw fuel from fuel filler
tube.
b. Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler tube.
c. Insert fuel tube into fuel tank through fuel filler hose to draw fuel
from fuel tank.
●As a guide, fuel level becomes the position shown in figure or
below when approximately 15 liter (13-1/4 lmp qt) of fuel are drained from fuel tank.
NOTE:
Adjusting fuel level is to prevent fuel from spilling, when fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump
assembly is removed.
