ENGINE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP]

id011070800400

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 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” when servicing the fuel system. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [13B-MSP].)
•  After disconnecting the steering shaft joint, always set the EPS system to the neutral position to prevent system malfunction. (See EPS SYSTEM NEUTRAL POSITION SETTING.)
Note
•  Remove the engine, transmission, and crossmember component as a single unit from under the vehicle.

1.  Remove the following parts:

(1)  Front wheel and tires (See GENERAL PROCEDURES (SUSPENSION).)
(2)  Engine cover (See ENGINE COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP].)
(3)  Front suspension tower bar (See FRONT SUSPENSION TOWER BAR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MT].) (See FRONT SUSPENSION TOWER BAR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [AT].)
(4)  Battery cover, battery, battery box and battery tray (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP].)
(5)  Air cleaner, air hose and air cleaner insulator (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP].)
(6)  PCM (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP].)
(7)  AIR pump. (See SECONDARY AIR INJECTION (AIR) CONTROL VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP].)

2.  Drain the engine coolant. (See ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENT [13B-MSP].)

3.  Disconnect the brake vacuum hose.

4.  Disconnect the quick release connector going to the charcoal canister from the engine room side. (See QUICK RELEASE CONNECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP].)

5.  Disconnect the fuel hose from the fuel distributor (housing side). (See FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP].)

6.  Remove the ignition coil and ignition coil bracket as a single unit.

Ignition coil bracket tightening torque
7.8—10.8 N·m {80—110 kgf·cm, 69.1—95.5 in·lbf}

7.  Remove the A/C belt. (See DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT [13B-MSP].)

8.  Remove the A/C compressor with the pipes connected and secure the A/C compressor using wire or rope so that it is out of the way.(See A/C COMPRESSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

9.  Disconnect the engine wiring harness from the main fuse block side.

10.  Remove the aerodynamic under cover. (See AERODYNAMIC UNDER COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

11.  Disconnect front ABS wheel speed sensor connector. (See FRONT ABS WHEEL-SPEED SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

12.  Disconnect the radiator hose, the heater hose and coolant reserve tank hose.

13.  Disconnect the selector link. (AT) (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)

14.  Remove the clutch release cylinder with the pipes connected and secure the clutch release cylinder using wire or rope so that it is out of the way. (MT) (See CLUTCH RELEASE CYLINDER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

15.  Remove the shift lever component. (MT) (See TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [P66M-D].) (See TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [R15M-D].)

16.  Remove the engine, transmission, and crossmember component using an engine lifter in the order indicated in the table.

Warning
•  Remove the engine, transmission and crossmember carefully, holding it steady. If the transmission falls it could be damaged or cause injury.

19.  Start the engine and inspect and adjust the following:

•  Pulley and belt for runout, tension, and contact
•  Leakage of engine oil, engine coolant, ATF, MT oil, and fuel
•  Ignition timing, idle speed, and idle mixture (CO and HC) (See ENGINE TUNE-UP [13B-MSP].)
•  Front wheel alignment (See FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT.)
•  Engine-driven accessories operation

20.  Perform the on-road test and verify that there is no vibration or noise.


Oil Hose Removal Note

1.  Remove the clip as shown in the figure and disconnect the oil pipe.

Caution
•  Catch the remaining engine oil in the oil cooler using a plate pipe to prevent spillage.


Power Plant Frame, Crossmember Bolt Removal/Installation Note

Caution
•  The oil pan could be damaged or dented if the engine’s own weight is subjected to an impact against a level surface. Always set two pieces of wood in the positions shown in the figure to prevent the oil pan from being dented. If the oil pan is dented, the amount of intake oil and the fluid pressure will decrease.
