On 1.8L 1ZZ-FE models, install and tighten knock sensor to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . On 1.8L 2ZZ-GE models, install knock sensor on stud on cylinder block. Ensure electrical connector fitting on knock sensor is positioned in original location in relation to the cylinder block. Install and tighten knock sensor retaining nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . On all models, reinstall electrical connector on knock sensor. To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure using NEW gaskets.
On 1.8L 2ZZ-GE models, note intake manifold bolt/nut identification before tightening intake manifold bolts/nuts to specification. See Fig 3. On all models, ensure gasket for throttle body is installed with protrusion area facing proper direction. See THROTTLE BODY under FUEL SYSTEMS. Tighten bolts/nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Fill and bleed cooling system. See COOLING SYSTEM BLEEDING under COOLING SYSTEM.
