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.

NOTE:
- Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
- For release the fuel system pressure before remove the engine assembly, start the engine without fuel pump relay. And then turn off the ignition switch after engine stops.

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

Tightening torque :
7.8 - 9.8N.m (0.8 - 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 - 7.2lb-ft)




3. Remove the engine cover (A).
4. Remove the strut bar (B).




5. Loosen the drain plug and drain the engine coolant.

WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high pressure escaping from the radiator.

6. After recovering refrigerant, remove the high & low pressure pipe.
7. Remove the intake air hose and air cleaner assembly.
(1) Remove the air duct (A).
(2) Disconnect the Barometric Pressure Sensor(BPS) connector (B).
(3) Disconnect the breather hose (C).
(4) Disconnect the vacuum hose (D).
(5) Remove the intake air hose (E) and air cleaner assembly (F).

Tightening torque
Hose clamp bolt :
2.9 - 4.9 N.m (0.3 - 0.5 kgf.m, 2.2 - 3.6 lb-ft)
Air cleaner assembly bolts :
7.8 - 9.8 N.m (0.8 - 1.0 kgf.m, 5.8 - 7.2 lb-ft)




8. Remove the front wheels.
9. Remove the under covers. (A)

Tightening torque :
7.8 - 11.8N.m (0.8 - 1.2kgf.m, 5.8 - 8.7lb-ft)




10. Remove the radiator upper hose (A) and lower hose (B).








11. Disconnect the ATF cooler hoses.
12. Disconnect the heater hoses (A).
13. Disconnect the PCSV hose (B).




14. Disconnect the ECM connector (A), TCM connector (B), IDB connector (C), brake fluid level switch connector (D) and the ground (E).

Tightening torque
Ground (E) :
10.8 - 13.7 N.m (1.1 - 1.4 kgf.m, 7.9 - 10.1 lb-ft)




15. Disconnect the wiring (A) from the fuse box.




16. Disconnect the fuel hose (A).
17. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose (B).




18. Disconnect the engine ground line (A).

Tightening torque :
10.8 - 13.7N.m (1.1 - 1.4kgf.m, 8.0 - 10.1lb-ft)




19. Remove the cooling fan.
20. Remove the oil hose fro the power steering pump.
21. Disconnect the steering gear box.
22. Remove the engine mounting bracket nut.

Tightening torque :
66.7 - 83.4N.m (6.8 - 8.5kgf.m, 49.2 - 61.5lb-ft)

23. Remove the hood.
24. Remove the engine assembly by lifting the engine jack.





CAUTION:
When removing the engine and transmission 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.
