PRECAUTION
1. BEFORE WORKING ON FUEL SYSTEM, DISCONNECT NEGATIVE (-) TERMINAL CABLE FROM BATTERY
HINT: Any diagnostic trouble code retained by the computer will be erased when the negative (-) terminal cable is removed from the battery.
Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnosis before removing the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
2. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR AN OPEN FLAME WHEN WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM
3. KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM RUBBER OR LEATHER PARTS
4. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
(a) Take following precautions to prevent the engine misfire.
(b) Take following precautions to handle the oxygen sensor.
5. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE RADIO SYSTEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the IN section.
6. AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
(a) Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV hose, etc. may cause the engine to be out of tune.
(b) Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air induction system between the throttle body and cylinder head will cause air suction, which makes the engine out of tune.
7. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
(a) Disconnect the power by either turning the ignition switch OFF or disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery before removing SFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc.
HINT: Always check the diagnostic trouble code before disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
(b) When installing the battery, be especially careful not to incorrectly connect the positive (+) and negative (-) cables.
(c) Do not a severe impact during removal or installation.
Handle all SFI parts carefully, especially the ECM.
(d) Be careful during the troubleshooting as there are numerous transistor circuit, and even slight terminal contact can cause further troubles.
(e) Do not open the ECM cover.
(f) When inspecting in rainy weather, take care to prevent entry of water. Also, when washing the engine compartment, prevent water from getting on the SFI parts and the wiring connectors.
(g) Parts should be replaced as the original assembly.
(h) Care should be taken when pulling out and inserting the wiring connectors.
(i) Use SST for the inspection, the injector and the wiring connector test.
SST 09842-30070
8. FUEL SYSTEM
(a) When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large amount of gasoline may be spilled:
(b) When connecting the union bolt (fuel pressure pulsation damper) on the high pressure pipe union, follow the procedure below:
SST 09612-24014 (09617-24011)
Torque: 33 N·m (340 kgf·cm, 24 ft·lbf) for use with SST 39 N·m (400 kgf·cm, 29 ft·lbf)
HINT: Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).
(c) When connecting the flare nut on the high pressure pipe union, follow the procedure below:
SST 09023-12700
NOTICE: Do not rotate the fuel filter outlet when tightening the flare nut.
Torque: 34 N·m (345 kgf·cm, 25 ft·lbf) for use with SST 38 N·m (380 kgf·cm, 28 ft·lbf)
HINT: Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).
(d) Take following precautions to remove and install the injectors.
(e) Install the injector to the delivery pipe and lower intake manifold as shown in the illustration.
Before installing the injector, spindle oil or gasoline must be applied on the place where the delivery pipe or the intake manifold touches the O-ring of the injector.
(f) Take following precautions to disconnect the fuel tube connector (quick type):
Type B: When the connector and the pipe are stuck, turn and pull the connector to disconnect. Do not use any tool at this time.
(g) Take following precautions to connect the fuel tube connector (quick type):
(h) Take following precautions to handle the nylon tube.
(i) Check that there are no fuel leaks on the fuel system after doing the maintenance.
NOTICE: Do not start the engine.
The pressure in the high pressure line will rise to approx. 392 kPa (4 kgf/cm2, 57 psi). In this state, check to see that there is no leak on any part of the fuel system.
NOTICE: Always pinch the hose. Do not bend as it may cause the hose to crack.
