Removal

CAUTIONUse fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces. To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.

Note. Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection. For release the fuel system pressure before remove the engine assembly, start the engine without fuel pump relay. And then turn off the ignition switch after engine stops.

Installation

Install in the reverse order of removal.

Perform the following

  1. Adjust a shift cable.
  2. Adjust a throttle cable.
  3. Refill engine with engine oil.
  4. Refill a transaxle with fluid.
  5. Refill power steering fluid.
  6. Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant.
  7. Place a heater control knob on "HOT" position.
  8. Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble.
  9. Inspect for fuel leakage. After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes. Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
  10. Bleed air from the cooling system. Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.) Turn Off the engine and let it cool down. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system. Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
