id0110008010a2

Warning

•  Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.

•  Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure”. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [LF, L3].)

1.  Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2.  Remove the plug hole plate. (L3 engine model) (See PLUG HOLE PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3].)

3.  Remove the spark plugs. (See SPARK PLUG REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L3].)

4.  Remove the tire (RH).

5.  Remove the under cover.

6.  Loosen the water pump pulley bolt and removal the drive belt. (See DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT [LF, L3].)

7.  Remove the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor. (See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L3].)

8.  Drain the engine oil. (See ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT [LF, L3].)

9.  Remove the P/S oil pump with the oil hose still connected and position the P/S oil pump so that it is out of the way. (See POWER STEERING OIL PUMP REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

10.  Remove the front drive shaft (RH) from the joint shaft. (See JOINT SHAFT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

11.  Remove in the order indicated in the table.

12.  Install in the reverse order of removal.

13.  Start the engine and:

•  Inspect for the engine oil, engine coolant, transaxle oil and fuel leakage.

•  Verify the ignition timing, idle speed and idle mixture. (See IGNITION TIMING INSPECTION [LF, L3].)(See IDLE MIXTURE INSPECTION [LF, L3].)

14.  Perform a road test.
