lThe 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 toEM-43, "
TIMING CHAIN".
1. Release fuel pressure. Refer toEC-34, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE",EC-399, "FUEL PRESSURE
RELEASE".
2. Remove parts listed below.
lIgnition Coil; Refer toEM-27, "Removal and Installation".
lRocker cover; Refer toEM-31, "Removal and Installation".
3. Remove power steering reservoir tank.

lIf 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 mal-
functioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
lIf 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.

WAR NIN G:
Be sure to read “General Precautions” when working on fuel system. Refer toFL-3, "
General Precau-
tions"
1. Release fuel pressure from fuel line.
Refer toEC-34, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE"(WITH EURO-
OBD),EC-399, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE"(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.
lAs 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 position.

assembly, and sub fuel level sensor unit.
CAUTION:
lDo not bend the float arm during removal.
lAvoid impacts such as falling when handling compo-
nents.
lRemoval of main fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter, fuel pump
assembly.
lRaise the sender unit, and remove the jet pump to remove the
sender unit.
lLeave the jet pump on the fuel tank with the fuel hose.
lIf necessary, remove the chamber from the bottom of the fuel tank.
lRemove the chamber by sliding toward the rear of the vehicle.
Removal of sub fuel level sensor unit.
lRaise and release the sub fuel level sensor unit to remove.
lIf necessary, remove the jet pump inlet from the bottom of the fuel tank.
To remove it, pinch the tabs (2 places).
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Make sure the fuel pump strainer is free from foreign materials, If any are found, remove them.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal paying attention to the follow-
ing.
lWhen installing the chamber and jet pump, insert them fully until
a click sound of full stopper engagement is heard (Ditto for jet
pump inlet).
lConnect the quick connector as follows.
1. Check the connection for damage and foreign materials.
2. Align the connector with the tube, then insert the connector straight into the tube until a click is heard.
3. After connecting, make sure that the connection is secure by following the steps below.
lVisually confirm that the two retainer tabs are connected to the connector.
lPull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely connected.
