REMOVAL
1) Release fuel pressure in fuel feed line by referring to Section
6.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Drain coolant.
4) Remove strut tower bar (2).
5) Disconnect coupler from intake air temp. sensor, and MAF
sensor.
6) Remove surge tank cover (1).
7) Remove air cleaner upper case, intake air hose, intake air
pipe (1) and surge tank pipe (2) as one component. Do not
disassemble them, when removing and reinstalling. CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove

NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.
“Hard water”, if used, will foul up the cooling circuit by scale formation. Tap water available from
city water supply is the best available water, in a practical sense, for the cooling system. Distilled
water is ideal but is a luxury in most cases.
