Steps 1 - 44

Special Tools:

CAUTION: This vehicle is equipped with a composite material fuel supply manifold. If the supply manifold is used as a leverage device, damage may occur to the supply manifold. Care must be taken when working around the fuel supply manifold.

1. Rotate the drive belt tensioner counterclockwise and remove the drive belt.





2. Remove the bolts and position the accessory bracket aside.





3. Remove the generator mounting bracket.





4. Disconnect the throttle position (TP) sensor electrical connector.





5. Disconnect the idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connector.





6. Disconnect the EGR valve vacuum hose.





7. Disconnect the camshaft position (CMP) sensor electrical connector.





8. Disconnect the ignition coil electrical connectors





9. Disconnect the radio ignition interference capacitor electrical connector.





10. Disconnect the exhaust gas regulator (EGR) vacuum regulator.





11. Disconnect the differential pressure feedback EGR transducer.
1 Disconnect the electrical connector.
2 Disconnect the vacuum hoses.





12. Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor electrical connector.





13. CAUTION: Spark plug wires must be connected correctly. Mark the spark plug wires before removing them.

Using the special tool, remove the spark plug wires from the spark plug.





14. Disconnect the RH upper intake manifold vacuum hose.





15. Disconnect the crankcase ventilation hose.





16. Remove the upper intake manifold.





17. Disconnect the RH vapor management valve (VMV) hose.





18. Disconnect the LH VMV hose.
19. Remove the upper intake manifold.





20. Remove the lower intake manifold.





21. Disconnect the water temperature indicator sender unit and the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor electrical connectors.





22. Note: The LH side is shown, the RH side is similar.

Disconnect the six fuel injector electrical connectors.





23. Remove the fuel charging wiring.





24. Disconnect the EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube from the EGR valve.





25. Disconnect the EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube from the exhaust manifold.





26. Remove the bolt and position the lower fuel line bracket aside.





27. Remove the fuel injection supply manifold.





28. Remove the LH valve cover and the gasket.





29. Remove the RH valve cover and the gasket.





30. Remove the fuel injectors.





31. Remove the VMV hose bracket and position aside.





32. Disconnect the water bypass hose.





33. Remove the thermostat housing.





34. Remove the crankcase vent separator spring steel clip and remove the separator.





35. Remove the oil level indicator tube.





36. Remove the knock sensor.





37. Remove the RH exhaust manifold and the gasket.





38. Remove the LH exhaust manifold and the gasket.





39. Remove the water pump.





40. Remove the bolt.





41. Using the special tool, remove the crankshaft pulley.





42. Remove the RH hydraulic chain tensioner.





43. CAUTION: The right-hand camshaft sprocket bolt is a left-hand threaded bolt.

Remove the RH camshaft sprocket bolt.





44. Remove the camshaft sprocket from the camshaft and install a rubber band on the cassette to hold the chain and camshaft sprocket in place.
