Fuel Rail Assembly
Removal Procedure
NOTE:
Do not attempt to remove the fuel inlet fitting on the
fuel rail. It is staked in place. Removing the fuel inlet
fitting will result in damage to the fuel rail or the
internal O-ring seal.
Use care when removing the fuel rail assembly in
order to prevent damage to the injector electrical
connector terminals and the injector spray tips.
Fittings should be capped and holes plugged during
servicing to prevent dirt and other contaminants from
entering open lines and passages.

Spark Plug Gap Check
Check the gap of all spark plugs before installation.
Use a round wire feeler gauge to ensure an accurate
check.
Plugs installed with the wrong gap can cause poor
engine performance and excessive emissions.
Installation Procedure
NOTE: The plug must thread smoothly into the cylinder
head and be fully seated. Use a thread chaser if
necessary to clean the threads in the cylinder head.
Cross-threading or failure to fully seat the spark plug can
cause plug overheating, exhaust blow-by gas, or thread
damage. Do not overtighten the spark plugs. Over
tightening can cause aluminum threads to strip.
1. Install the spark plug in the engine. Use the
appropriate spark plug socket.
Tighten
Tighten the spark plug to 18 Nꞏm (13 lb ft.).
2. Install the ignition coil and spark plug boot over the
spark plug.

3. Secure the ignition coil to the rocker cover with two
screws.

temperature reaches 70 – 80°C (158 – 176°F).
2. Remove the following parts.
Glow plugs
Fuel cut solenoid connector
QOS (Quick-On Start System) fuse in the fuse
box.
3. Set the adapter and compression gauge to the No.
1 cylinder glow plug hole.
Compression Gauge
(with Adapter): 5-8840-2008-0
4. Turn the engine over with the starter motor and take
the compression gauge reading.
Compression Pressure at 200 rpm

QUICK-ON START 4 SYSTEM
Quick-On Start System Inspection Procedure
1. Disconnect the ECT-sensor connection around the
thermostat outlet pipe.
2. Turn the starter switch to the “ON” position.
If the Quick-On Start 4 System is operating
properly, the glow relay will make a clicking sound
within seven seconds after the starter switch is
turned on.
3. Measure the glow plug terminal voltage with a
circuit tester immediately after turning the starter
switch to the “ON” position.
Glow Plug Terminal Voltage: 8 – 9V
NOTE: Electrical power to the quick-on start system will
be cut after the starter has remained in the “ON”
position for twenty seconds.
Turn the starter switch to the “OFF” position and back
to the “ON” position.
This will reset the Quick-On Start 4 System.
