5. Loosen the drain plug (A), and drain the coolant.





NOTE:
Remove the radiator cap to speed draining.

6. Recover the refrigerant and remove the high & low pressure pipe.
7. Remove the radiator upper hose (A) and lower hose (B).








8. Disconnect the wiring connectors, harness clamps and hoses from the engine.
(1) Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose (A).
(2) Disconnect the oxygen sensor connectors (B).
(3) Disconnect the condenser connector (C).
(4) Disconnect the ignition coil connector (D).
(5) Disconnect the ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor connector.
(6) Disconnect the PCSV (Purge Control Solenoid Valve) connector and the PCSV hose.




(7) Disconnect the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) connector (A).
(8) Disconnect the ISA (Idle Speed Actuator) connector (B).
(9) Disconnect the CMP (Camshaft position sensor) connector (C).




(10) Disconnect the fuel hose (A) and the PCV hose (B).




(11) Disconnect the injector connectors (A).




(12) Disconnect the compressor connector (A), the alternator connector (B) and the 'B' terminal cable (C).




(13) Disconnect the OCV connector (A), the knock sensor connector (B) and the MAP sensor connector (C).




(14) Disconnect the starter connector (A) and the 'B' terminal cable (B).




9. Remove the transaxle wire harness connectors and control cable from the transaxle. .
10. Remove the drive shafts.
11. Remove the stabilizer bar link.
12. Remove the rear roll stopper (A).

Tightening torque :
Bolts (B) :
49.0 - 63.7N.m (5.0 - 6.5kgf.m, 36.1 - 47.0lb-ft)
Bolt (C) :
88.3 - 107.9N.m (9.0 - 11.0kgf.m, 65.1 - 79.6lb-ft)






NOTE:
Mark the rear roll stopper direction for proper installation.

13. Remove the front muffler (A).

Tightening torque :
39.2 - 49.0N.m (4.0 - 5.0kgf.m, 28.9 - 36.2lb-ft)





14. Using a floor jack, support the engine and transaxle assembly.

WARNING:
- After removing the mounting bolt (engine and transaxle), the engine and transaxle assembly may fall downward, and so support them securely with floor jack.
- Verify that the hoses and connectors are disconnected before removing the engine and transaxle assembly.

15. Disconnect the ground cable (A) and then, remove the engine mounting bracket (B).

Tightening torque :
Nut (C) :
63.8 - 83.4N.m (6.5 - 8.5kgf.m, 47.0 - 61.5lb-ft)
Bolt (D) & Nuts (E) :
49.0 - 63.7N.m (5.0 - 6.5kgf.m, 36.2 - 47.0lb-ft)





16. Disconnect the ground cable (A) and then, remove the transaxle mounting bracket (B).

Tightening torque :
Bolts (C) :
88.3 - 107.9N.m (9.0 - 11.0kgf.m, 65.1 - 79.6lb-ft)





17. Remove the engine and transaxle assembly by lifting vehicle.





CAUTION:
When remove the engine and transaxle assembly, be careful not to damage any surrounding parts or body components.

Installation

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Perform the following :
- Adjust the shift cable.
- Adjust the throttle cable.
- Refill the engine with engine oil.
- Refill the transaxle with fluid.
- Refill the radiator and reservoir tank with engine coolant.
- Bleed air from the cooling system
- Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)
- Turn Off engine. Check the coolant level and add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.
- Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run engine again and check for leaks.
- Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper, assemble them and then apply grease to prevent corrosion.
- Inspect for fuel leakage.
- After assembling fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump could run for approximately two seconds and fuel line could be pressurized.
- Repeat this operation two or three times and check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
