Removal and Replacement

Removal

CAUTION:
- Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
- To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.

WARNING:
For release the fuel pressure, start the engine and wait until fuel in fuel line is exhausted. After the engine stop turn the ignition switch OFF.

NOTE:
- Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable (A).
2. Remove the transmission before removing the engine.
3. Remove the strut bar (B).




4. Loosen the drain plug and drain the engine coolant.
5. After recovering refrigerant, remove the high & low pressure pipe.
6. Remove the air duct (A).
7. Remove the air cleaner assembly (C) after removing the AFS connector (B).

Tightening torque :
Bolt : 7.8 - 9.8N.m (0.8 - 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 - 7.2lb-ft)
Clamp : 2.9 - 4.9N.m (0.3 - 0.5kgf.m, 2.2 - 3.6lb-ft)




8. Remove the radiator upper hose (A).




9. Remove the radiator lower hose (A).




10. Disconnect the fuel hoses (B) and brake vacuum hose (A).




11. Remove the cooling fan.
(1) Remove the cooling fan connector (A).
(2) Remove the reservoir tank (B).
(3) Remove the fan assembly (C).




12. Remove the oil hose from the power steering pump.
13. Disconnect the ECM connector (A), brake oil level sensor connector (B) and ground (C).




14. Remove the alternator cable.
15. Disconnect the wirings (A) from the fuse box.




16. Remove the heater hoses (A).




17. Remove the engine mounting bracket nut (A).

18. Remove the hood.
19. Remove the engine assembly by lifting the engine jack.





CAUTION:
- When removing the engine assembly, be careful not to damage any surrounding parts or body components.

Installation

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Perform the following :
- Adjust a shift cable.
- Refill engine with engine oil.
- Refill a transmission with fluid.
- Clean battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper. Reassemble, then apply grease to prevent corrosion.
- Inspect for fuel leakage.
- After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
- Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
- Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant.
- Bleed air from the cooling system.
- Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)
- Turn Off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.
- Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
