10. REMOVE ENGINE WIRE
a. Disconnect the 2 wire clamps from the wire clamp brackets on the RH delivery pipe.
11. REMOVE FUEL PRESSURE PULSATION DAMPER ASSY
a. Disconnect the fuel delivery pipe and fuel pipe by removing right and left pulsation dampers.
b. Remove the 4 gaskets.
12. REMOVE FUEL DELIVERY PIPE SUB-ASSY
a. Remove the installation bolts of the water by-pass pipe No. 1 and No. 2.
b. Disconnect the injector connectors.
c. Remove the 2 nuts. Then remove the fuel delivery pipe No. 1 by pulling it straight upward holding both ends.
13. REMOVE FUEL DELIVERY PIPE SUB-ASSY NO.2
a. Disconnect the injector connectors.
b. Remove the 2 nuts. Then remove the fuel delivery pipe No. 2 by pulling it straight upward holding both ends.
14. REMOVE FUEL INJECTOR ASSY
a. Remove the injector from the intake manifold.
NOTE: Pull upward on the injector. Adding force in the horizontal direction may cause the O-ring to become stuck.
b. Remove the O-ring, grommet and vibration insulator from the injector.
15. INSTALL FUEL INJECTOR ASSY
a. Install a new grommet and vibration insulator to the injector.
b. Check the injector's grooves (where O-rings are installed) for foreign matter or damage. Apply gasoline to 2 new O-rings and install them to the injector's grooves.
c. To install the fuel injector into the fuel delivery pipe, push the fuel injector while twisting it back and forth. Position the injector connector outward.
d. Check that the injector rotates smoothly.
NOTE: If the injector does not rotate smoothly, the O-ring may be caught on something. Remove the injector, replace the O-ring and reinstall the injector.
16. INSTALL FUEL DELIVERY PIPE SUB-ASSY NO.2
a. Install the injector (with delivery pipe) to the intake manifold. Then position the injector connector so that it faces outward.
b. Check that the injectors rotate smoothly within a range of approximately 45 .
HINT: If injectors do not rotate smoothly, the probable cause is incorrect installation of O-rings. Replace the O-rings.
c. Set a new spacer on the intake manifold, and install the delivery pipe to the intake manifold with the 2 nuts.
Torque: 21 N.m (214 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf)
17. INSTALL FUEL DELIVERY PIPE SUB-ASSY
a. Install the injector (with delivery pipe) to the intake manifold and then position the injector connector so that it faces outward.
b. Check that the injectors rotate smoothly. Turn the injector both ways by approximately 45 degrees. HINT: If injectors do not rotate smoothly, the probable cause is incorrect installation of O-rings. Replace the O-rings.
c. Set a new spacer on the intake manifold, and install the delivery pipe to the intake manifold with the 2 nuts.

Torque: 21 N.m (214 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf)
18. INSTALL FUEL PRESSURE PULSATION DAMPER ASSY
a. Set new upper and lower gaskets into the fuel main hose, and insert the pulsation damper through the hose and gaskets.
b. Install the pulsation damper to the fuel delivery pipe No.2.
