PRECAUTION
Note
After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notice before proceeding with work Click here.
DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Note
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.

w/ Wiper Deicer System:
Disengage the clamp (A).
Disengage the 2 clamps (B).
Disconnect the connector and separate the wire harness from the front outer cowl top panel sub-assembly.
Disengage the 2 clamps and separate the wire harness from the front outer cowl top panel sub-assembly.
Remove the 10 bolts and front outer cowl top panel sub-assembly.
REMOVE THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY
REMOVE VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE ASSEMBLY (for ACIS)
Disconnect the union to vacuum tube hose and wire harness clamp.
Disconnect the 2 vacuum hoses and connector.
Remove the bolt and vacuum switching valve assembly from the intake manifold.
DISCONNECT NO. 2 VENTILATION HOSE
Disconnect the No. 2 ventilation hose from the intake manifold.
DISCONNECT UNION TO VACUUM TUBE HOSE
Disconnect the union to vacuum tube hose from the intake manifold.
DISCONNECT FUEL TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Remove the No. 1 fuel pipe clamp.
| *1 | Fuel Pipe |
| *2 | Fuel Tube Connector |
| *3 | Nylon Tube |
| *4 | O-ring |
| *5 | Retainer |
|
Pinch |
|
Pull |
Pinch the retainer of the fuel tube connector, and then pull the fuel tube connector off of the fuel pipe.
Note
Check for foreign matter on the fuel tube around the fuel tube connector. Clean it if necessary. Foreign matter can affect the ability of the O-ring to seal the fuel tube connector and fuel pipe.
Do not use any tools to separate the fuel tube connector and fuel pipe.
Do not forcibly bend, kink or twist the nylon tube.
Keep the fuel tube connector and fuel pipe free from foreign matter.
If the fuel tube connector and fuel pipe are stuck, push and pull to release them.
Cover the fuel tube connector and fuel pipe with plastic bags to prevent damage and contamination.
Disconnect the fuel tube sub-assembly from the fuel hose clamp.
REMOVE FUEL DELIVERY PIPE
Remove the 2 bolts, and then remove the fuel delivery pipe together with the 4 fuel injector assemblies.
Note
Be careful not to drop the fuel injector assemblies when removing the fuel delivery pipe.
Remove the 2 fuel delivery spacers from the cylinder head.
Remove the 4 injector vibration insulators from the cylinder head.
REMOVE INTAKE MANIFOLD
Remove the 2 bolts and 2 wire harness clamp brackets from the intake manifold.
Disconnect the fuel vapor feed hose from the intake manifold.
Disconnect the 3 wire harness clamps and connector from the intake manifold.
Remove the bolt and wire harness clamp bracket.
Apply battery voltage to the terminals of the connector to close the tumble control valves (w/ TCV).
| Standard | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Note
If this procedure is not performed, the tumble control valves may be damaged when the intake manifold is removed.
Apply battery voltage for 1 to 3 seconds.
If battery voltage is applied for more than 3 seconds, the intake air control valve actuator may be damaged.
Do not allow the lead wires to contact the other terminals.
Remove the bolt and separate the wire harness.
Disconnect the 2 wire harness clamps and intake air control valve actuator connector (w/ TCV).
Disconnect the 2 wire harness clamps (w/o TCV).
| *A | w/ TCV |
| *B | w/o TCV |
Remove the 6 bolts and intake manifold (w/ TCV).
Note
The tumble control valves may be damaged if they are not closed before removing the intake manifold.
Tech Tips

Remove the 6 bolts and intake manifold (w/o TCV).
Remove the intake manifold gasket from the intake manifold (w/ TCV).
Remove the intake manifold gasket from the intake manifold (w/o TCV).
Disconnect the 2 vacuum hoses from the intake manifold and remove the No. 1 check valve.
Remove the bolt and wire harness clamp bracket from the intake manifold.
