  9. Install the charge air cooler (see CHARGE AIR COOLER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
  10. Clean up any spilled engine coolant.
  11. After installation, check that all tubes, hoses, and connectors are installed correctly.
  12. Inspect for fuel leaks: Turn the ignition switch ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so the fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel line. Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
  13. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed the air from the cooling system with the heater valve open (see step 6 under COOLANT REPLACEMENT ).
