Installation
1. Install the intake manifold (A) with a new gasket (B), and tighten the bolts and nuts in a crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning with the inner bolt.
2. Raise the vehicle on the lift to full height.
3. Install the intake manifold bracket (A), then install the connector (B).
4. Install the splash shield.
5. Lower the vehicle on the lift.
6. Install the water bypass hoses.
7. Install the EVAP canister hose (A) and brake booster vacuum hose (B).
8. Install the harness bracket mounting bolts.
9. Connect the engine wire harness connectors, and install the wire harness clamps to the intake manifold.
- MAP sensor connector
- Throttle actuator connector
10. Install the intake air duct (A), then install the vacuum hose (B) and breather pipe (C).
11. Install the intake manifold cover.
12. Install the front bulkhead (A), then install the radiator upper brackets (B).
13. Apply body paint to the bulkhead mounting bolts.
14. Connect the fan motor connectors (A) and hood switch connector (B), then install the harness clips (C).
15. Install the bulkhead cover.
16. Clean up any spilled engine coolant.
17. After installation, check that all tubes, hoses, and connectors are installed correctly.
18. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed the air from the cooling system with the heater valve open (see step 6 ).
Exhaust Manifold Removal and Installation
1. Disconnect the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor connector and secondary heated oxygen sensor (secondary HO2S) connector, then remove the three way catalytic converter (TWC) (see step 25).
2. Remove the under-cowl cover, then remove the strut brace.
3. Remove the rocker arm oil control solenoid. Remove the cover and exhaust manifold bracket, then remove the exhaust manifold.
4. Install the exhaust manifold, and tighten the bolts and nuts in a crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning with the inner nut.
5. Install the other parts in the reverse order of removal.

Cleaning the Seat Belts
Dirt build-up in the loops of the seat
belt anchors can cause the belts to
retract slowly. Wipe the insides of
the loops with a clean cloth
dampened in mild soap and warm
water or isopropyl alcohol.
If your seat belts get dirty, use a soft
brush with a mixture of mild soap
and warm
Fasten and Position the Seat Belts
Insert the latch plate into the buckle,
then tug on the belt to make sure the
belt is securely latched. Check that
the belt is not twisted, because a
twisted belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash.
The seat belt in the center position
of the back seat can be unlatched
