• Install the EVAP canister purge control solenoid valve connector with it facing front of engine.
• Tighten the electric throttle control actuator bolts of the electric throttle control actuator equally and diagonally in several steps as shown.
• After installation perform INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION.
• Install the water hose so that its overlap width for connection is between 27 mm (1.06 in) and 32 mm (1.26 in) (target: 27 mm 1.06 in).

Connecting Quick Connector of Fuel Tube

Install quick connector as follows (the steps are the same for quick connectors on both engine side and vehicle side except for the quick connector cap).

1. Make sure no foreign substances are deposited in and around tube and quick connector, and they are not damaged.
2. Thinly apply new engine oil around the fuel tube from tip end to the spool end.
3. Align center to insert quick connector straight into fuel tube.
   • Insert until the paint mark for engagement identification (white) goes completely inside quick connector so that you cannot see it from the straight side of the connected part. Use a mirror to check this where it is not possible to view directly from the straight side, such as quick connector on vehicle side.

   • Insert fuel tube into quick connector until top spool is completely inside quick connector, and 2nd level spool exposes right below quick connector on engine side.
   CAUTION:

   • Do not reuse O-rings.
   • Hold (A) position in illustration when inserting fuel tube into quick connector.
   • Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to prevent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.
   • Insert until you hear a "click" sound and actually feel the engagement.
   • To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar sound, be sure to perform the next step.

4. Pull quick connector by hand holding (A) position. Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it does not come out from fuel tube.
   NOTE: Recommended pulling force is 50 N (5.1 kg, 11.2 lb).
5. Install the quick connector cap on the quick connector joint (on engine side only).
6. Install the fuel hose and tube to hose clamps.
7. Refill the engine coolant. Refer to "CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT ".
