Removal and Installation: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never drain the coolant when the engine is hot.
- Remove the engine room cover.
- Release the fuel pressure. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE CHECK ".
- Drain engine coolant from the radiator. Refer to
"CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
".CAUTION: Perform this step when engine is cold.NOTE: This step necessary only when removing electric throttle control actuator from the vehicle.
- Remove the battery tray. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (QR25DE BATTERY TRAY) ".
- Disconnect the MAF sensor electrical connector.
- Remove air cleaner case and air duct assembly. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".
- Remove cowl top. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".
- Disconnect the following components at the intake side:
- PCV hose
- EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid
- Electric throttle control actuator
- Brake booster vacuum hose
- Disconnect the fuel quick connector on the engine side.
- Using Tool perform the following steps to disconnect the quick connector.
Tool number : - (J-45488)
- Remove quick connector cap.
- With the sleeve side of Tool facing quick connector, install Tool onto fuel tube.
- Insert Tool into quick connector until sleeve contacts and goes no further. Hold the Tool on that position.CAUTION: Inserting the Tool hard will not disconnect quick connector. Hold Tool where it contacts and goes no further.
- Pull the quick connector straight out from the fuel tube.
CAUTION:
- Pull quick connector holding it at the "A" position, as shown in the figure.
- Do not pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick connector may be damaged.
- Prepare container and cloth beforehand as fuel will leak out.
- Avoid fire and sparks.
- Be sure to cover openings of disconnected pipes with plug or plastic bag to avoid fuel leakage and entry of foreign materials.
- Using Tool perform the following steps to disconnect the quick connector.
- When removing fuel hose quick connector at vehicle piping side, perform as follows.
- Remove quick connector cap.
- Hold the sides of the connector, push in tabs and pull out the tube. (The figure is shown in the figure for reference only.)
- If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them by pulling.
CAUTION:
- The tube can be removed when the tabs are completely depressed. Do not twist it more than necessary.
- Do not use any tools to remove the quick connector.
- Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful when welding near the tube.
- Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte etc. from getting on the resin tube.
- Do not bend or twist the tube during installation and removal.
- Do not remove the remaining retainer on tube.
- When the tube is replaced, also replace the retainer with a new one. Retainer color: Green.
- To keep clean the connecting portion and to avoid damage and foreign materials, cover them completely with plastic bags or something similar.
- If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them by pulling.
- Remove EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve.
- Loosen mounting bolts diagonally, reposition the electric throttle control actuator and position aside without disconnecting the coolant hoses.CAUTION:
- Handle carefully to avoid any shock to electric throttle control actuator.
- Never disassemble.
- Disconnect intake manifold collector harness, and vacuum hose.CAUTION: Cover engine openings to avoid entry of foreign materials.
- Loosen the bolts in the order shown in the figure to remove the intake manifold assembly, using power tools.
Inspection After Removal
Surface Distortion
- Using straightedge and feeler gauge, inspect surface distortion of intake manifold adapter and intake manifold surface.
