Removal
- Release fuel pressure. See «FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE»(ref-49181-S40922400862001011500000) . Remove hood. Disconnect battery cables. Drain cooling system and engine oil. Remove radiator.
- Remove accessory drive belts, alternator and cooling fan assembly. Remove power steering pump and A/C compressor with hoses attached and secure aside. Disconnect necessary air intake hoses, vacuum hoses, fuel hoses, coolant hoses, control cables and electrical connections.
- Raise and support vehicle. Remove lower engine covers. Remove necessary exhaust pipes for engine and transmission removal. Disconnect oil cooler lines, control linkages and electrical connections from transmission. Remove oil dipstick tube from transmission. NOTE: Check markings on heads of drive shaft bolts before removing. Bolts must be installed in original location.
- Mark drive shaft flange at rear axle for installation reference. Remove retaining bolts and drive shaft. Plug drive shaft opening in transmission. Remove starter motor.
- Remove torque converter-to-flywheel bolts. Support transmission with transmission jack. Remove transmission crossmember located below transmission. Remove transmission support brace-to-cylinder block. Support engine with hoist.
- Remove transmission-to-cylinder block bolts. Remove transmission. Remove engine mount-to-frame nuts. Lift engine from vehicle.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten all fasteners to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Adjust all control cables, linkages and fluid levels.
- Release fuel pressure. See «FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE»(ref-49181-S40922400862001011500000). Drain cooling system. Disconnect necessary air intake hoses, coolant hoses, fuel hoses, vacuum hoses, electrical connections and control cables.
- Remove necessary valves, etc. for access intake manifold collector and intake manifold. (Scheme 2) Remove retaining bolts, intake manifold collector and gasket. NOTE: DO NOT remove left and right throttle bodies and accel-drum unit from intake manifold collector unless necessary, as special installation procedure must be used during installation.
- Remove retaining bolts, fuel rail along with fuel injectors and insulators. Remove retaining bolts/nuts, intake manifold and gaskets.
To install, reverse removal procedure using NEW gaskets, "O" rings and insulators. Tighten all fasteners to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
Note. If throttle bodies and accel-drum unit were removed from intake manifold collector, ensure proper throttle body and accel-drum unit installation procedure is used. See THROTTLE BODIES .
