- Hand start the fuel pump assembly bolts (5) evenly. Tighten the fuel pump bolts evenly to 8 N.m (71 lb in) plus 50 degrees using the EN-45059 meter.
- Hand start both ends of the NEW fuel feed intermediate pipe (5).
- Tighten the fitting nut to the fuel rail to 15 N.m (11 lb ft).
- Tighten the fitting nut to the fuel pump to 15 N.m (11 lb ft).
- Tighten the fitting nut to the fuel rail a final pass to 30 N.m (22 lb ft).
- Tighten the fitting nut to the fuel pump a final pass to 30 N.m (22 lb ft).
- Install the fuel pump insulator (6).NOTE: Replace the noise cancelling foam component if it is exposed to and has absorbed automotive fluids.
- Install the fuel pump cover and bolts. Tighten the bolts to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
- Install a new throttle body gasket (3).
- Install the throttle body (2).
- Install the throttle body bolts (1) and tighten to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
