1. COMPONENT REMOVAL

A. It is necessary to remove the refrigerant from the air condi-

tioning system. This should be performed by a qualified
technician using a Refrigerant Recycling System.
Releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere is environ-
mentally irresponsible and should be avoided.

B. Disconnect the battery (negative lead).
C. Remove the air inlet. Pull out the intake air temperature

(IAT) sensor but leave it connected to the harness. Remove
the bellows, air filter cover and the entire assembly forward
of the throttle body. (If the vehicle is a 1994 model or later,
the mass air meter must be removed and set aside by
unplugging the wiring connection and cutting the clamps
fastening it to intake bellows).

D. Remove the radiator overflow tank underneath the right

(passenger) side headlight.

E. Remove the accessory drive belt and harmonic balancer.

(Do not remove the hub from the crankshaft.)

F. Drain coolant from the radiator. The drain fitting is located on

the bottom of the right tank.

G. Remove the radiator hose from the right side.
H. Remove the power steering reservoir and its related brack-

ets and hardware. Use a small container to catch the fluid
when the hoses are removed.

I.

Remove the ignition coil and all of its mounting hardware on
the right side.

J. Number and remove the spark plug wires from the right

bank of the distributor. Place the wires out of the way.

K. Remove the right side injector cover.
