- Stage 5: Rotate each bolt an additional 90 degrees.





6. Install the catalytic converter heat shield and wire harness ground connection.





7. Position the wiring harness and install the harness locator.





8. Install the exhaust manifold. Tighten the bolts in two stages in the sequence shown.
- Stage 1: Tighten to 10 Nm (89 in. lbs.).
- Stage 2: Tighten to 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.).





9. Tighten the exhaust manifold-to-catalytic converter bolts.





10. Install the exhaust manifold heat shield.





11. Install the EGR tube.





12. Reposition and connect the spark plug wires.





13. Connect the EVAP canister purge valve electrical connector.
