9. Install the heat shield and tighten nuts to 8 Nm (70 in. lbs.).





10. Position the wire harness mounted onto the right hand inner fender panel and secure fasteners.
11. Install the Power Distribution Center (PDC) and mounting bracket.

CAUTION: Over or under tightening the knock sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper spark control.





12. Raise and support the vehicle.
13. Position the appropriate knock sensor (1) onto the engine block.

NOTE: The foam strip used on bolt threads is used only to retain the bolts to the sensors for plant assembly. It is not used as a sealant. Do not apply any adhesive, sealant or thread locking compound to these bolts.

14. Install the appropriate knock sensor retaining bolt (2) and tighten to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.).
15. Connect the appropriate knock sensor electrical connector (3).
16. Snap the heat shield onto the appropriate knock sensor.

20. Connect the oxygen sensor electrical connectors (2).
21. Lower the vehicle.





22. Position the air filter housing into the engine compartment.
23. Install the air filter housing retaining bolt (3) and tighten to 5 Nm (44 in. lbs.).
24. Connect the clean air tube to the throttle body and the air filter housing and tighten clamps to 3 Nm (30 in. lbs.).
25. Connect the make up air hose (MUA) (2).
26. Connect the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor (5) connector.
