INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF, L5]

id0113a0800400

Warning
•  A hot engine and intake air system can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool before removing the intake air system.
•  Fuel line spills and leakage from the pressurized fuel system are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure”.

1.  Complete the “BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION”. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [L8, LF, L5].)

2.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF, L5].)

3.  Remove in the order indicated in the table.

4.  Install in the reverse order of removal.

5.  Complete the “AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION”. (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [L8, LF, L5].)

6.  Add the engine coolant to the cooling system filler neck and the coolant reserve tank to replace that during servicing.

7.  Inspect the engine coolant level. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [L8, LF, L5].)

8.  Inspect for engine coolant leakage. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION [L8, LF, L5].)

Resonance Chamber Removal Note

1.  Remove the front mudguard (LH). (See FRONT MUDGUARD REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2.  Remove the resonance chamber.


Air Hose Removal Note

1.  Remove the purge solenoid valve bracket. (See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF, L5].)

2.  Remove the air hose.


Throttle Body Removal Note

Warning
•  Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the pressure escapes.
•  When you are sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap using the cloth, turn it, and remove it.
Caution
•  Do not plug the water hose with a sharp-edged object. Otherwise, the hose could be damaged.

1.  Wrap a clean cloth around the cooling system cap and release the pressure by loosening the cap slowly.

2.  Remove the water hose from the throttle body and plug the water hose quickly.

3.  Remove the throttle body.


Intake Manifold Removal Note

1.  Remove the aerodynamic under cover No.2. (See AERODYNAMIC UNDER COVER NO.2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2.  Remove the coolant reserve tank. (See COOLANT RESERVE TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF, L5].)

3.  Remove all clips for securing wiring harnesses from the intake manifold.

4.  Disconnect the vacuum hoses connecting the intake manifold.

5.  Remove the fuel distributor. (See FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF, L5].)

6.  Remove the intake manifold.


Throttle Body Installation Note

1.  Tighten the installation bolts in the order shown in the figure.

8—11 N·m {82—112 kgf·cm, 71—97 in·lbf}

2.  Remove the plug from the water hose and install the water hose to the throttle body quickly.


Air Cleaner Case Installation Note

Caution
•  Before assembling the air cleaner, verify that the rubber mounts have not fallen off from the air cleaner bracket (3 locations).
•  Always install the air cleaner case using the following procedure.
Note
•  When inserting the rubber mounts into the air cleaner case, soapy water can be applied.

1.  Verify that the rubber mounts are set in the air cleaner bracket (3 locations).

2.  Install the projections on the frame side (2 locations).

3.  Verify that the projections on the frame side are installed securely.

4.  Install the projection on the engine side (remaining location).

5.  Verify that the projection on the engine side installed securely.


Ventilation Hose (Air Hose Side) Installation Note

Note
•  Install the ventilation hose so that it passes over the brake vacuum hose.

1.  Connect the ventilation hose (air hose side).

2.  Verify that the ventilation hose connection area is inserted completely.
