  4. Align the protrusion of the fuel injector holder to the anti-rotation slot of the fuel injector pipe RH, and install the fuel injector straight to the fuel injector pipe RH.
    CAUTION:
    • Always use a new fuel injector pipe RH.
    • Check the inside of the fuel injector insertion hole of the fuel injector pipe for foreign materials or damage.
    • Be careful not to allow gasoline to contact with the fuel injector seal and the inside of the mounting hole.
    • Apply liquid paraffin to the O-ring seal and install it.
    • In order to prevent damaging the O-ring seal, do not install the fuel injector to the fuel injector pipe by tilting or twisting it.
    • Make sure there is no gap between the fuel injector pipe and the fuel injector holder.
    • Make sure there is no gap between the fuel injector and the fuel injector holder.
    • 2.0 L model

  5. Insert the fuel injector pipe RH and fuel injector as a single unit into the cylinder head, and align their positions. Then, evenly press the sections (A) and (B).
    CAUTION:
    • When installing, apply liquid paraffin to the fuel injector seal.
    • In order to prevent damaging the O-ring seal, do not install the fuel injector pipe and fuel injector by tilting them toward the cylinder head.

  7. Temporarily tighten the fuel pressure sensor to the fuel injector pipe RH until it cannot be turned by hand.
    CAUTION: Always use a new fuel pressure sensor.
  8. Tighten the fuel pressure sensor.
    CAUTION:
    • Be careful not to spill oil on the screw sections of the fuel pressure sensor and the fuel injector pipe RH.
    • Be careful not to let foreign matter enter into the fuel pressure sensor during installation.
    • The sensor should be installed perpendicularly to the fuel pressure sensor's threaded hole of the fuel injector pipe RH, and tightened to the specified torque.
    • Do not recheck the tightening torque after tightening the fuel pressure sensor with specified torque.

    Tightening torque: 

    46 N.m (4.7 kgf-m, 33.9 ft-lb)
