Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten all fasteners to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Adjust all control cables, linkages as necessary. Check and fill and fluid levels as necessary.
- Release fuel pressure. See «FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE»(ref-8488-S39985979722000090100000). Remove engine undercover. Drain radiator and engine block. Remove Radiator and air duct hose. Separate accelerator control cable and Automatic Speed Control Device (ASCD) control cable from intake manifold collector.
- Remove necessary wires, hoses, valves and components for access to intake manifold collector and intake manifold. Remove spark plugs. Remove power steering pump..
- Remove fuel inlet and return hoses from fuel injector tube assembly. Disconnect all injector harness connections. Remove fuel tube assembly. Remove intake manifold/collector bolts in reverse order of tightening sequence. Remove intake manifold/collector and gasket. (Scheme 2) If required, remove throttle body from intake manifold collector.
Install intake manifold/collector using NEW gaskets, "O" rings and insulators. Tighten intake manifold/colector bolts to specification in reverse order of removal. (Scheme 2) See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
