2. Disconnect the fuel tube spring lock coupling.
3. Remove the LH engine mount.
4. Remove the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve.
5. Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor electrical connector.
6. Disconnect the A/C compressor electrical connector.
7. Disconnect the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve electrical connector.
8. Disconnect the A/C pressure sensor electrical connector.
9. Disconnect the electronic engine control electrical connector.
10. Disconnect the A/C accumulator switch electrical connector.
11. Disconnect the PCV tube quick connect coupling from the PCV valve.
12. Disconnect the 4 RH ignition coil electrical connectors.
13. Disconnect the 3 wire harness retainers from the valve cover and position wire harness aside.
14. Lower the engine.

15. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surface. These tools cause scratches and gouges that make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of the gasket material.

Loosen the 7 studs, the 3 bolts and remove the valve cover and discard the gasket.
^ Clean the gasket surfaces with a plastic scraping tool and metal surface cleaner.

Installation

1. NOTE: If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply sealant in the location shown.
