When remove the engine and transaxle assembly, be careful not to damage any surrounding parts or body components. |
|
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
|
Perform the following:
| • |
Refill engine with engine oil. |
| • |
Refill a transaxle with fluid. |
| • |
Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant. |
| • |
Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble. |
| • |
Inspect for fuel leakage. |
| - |
After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch
(do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for
approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes. |
| - |
Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line. |
| • |
Bleed air from the cooling system. |
| - |
Start engine and let it run until it warms up (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times). |
| - |
Turn off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add
coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the
cooling system. |
| - |
Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks. |
