Installation Instructions

Warning: 

• 

Let the engine cool for at least 6 hours before 
opening the cooling system to avoid burn injury.

• 

Always use jack stands to support the weight 
of the vehicle. Never rely on jack alone.  

• 

Make sure to dispose of old coolant properly at 
a recycling facility.

Removal:

1)  Chock the rear wheels, jack up the front of the vehicle 

and safely support on jack stands. Ensure engine is 
cold. Drain the cooling system then reinstall the drain 
plug. (You may need to remove the factory plastic 
splash guard (if equipped) to access the radiator drain 
plug.)

2)  Remove the clamp retaining the hose to the Idle 

Air Control valve. Remove the IAC hose and PCV 
breather hose at the air tube. Loosen the screws 
retaining the air intake tube to the throttle body and 
air filter box. Remove the air intake tube.

3)  Remove the two 10mm bolts retaining the metal 

vacuum line for the power brake booster and throttle 
cable. Remove the vacuum hose at the intake, and lift 
the vacuum line up and out of the way.

4)  Remove the one-wire connector for the coolant 

temperature sensor (temp gauge) located on the 
driver’s side back of the cylinder head, underneath 
the camshaft position sensor. 

Figure 4.1.

 Remove 

the connectors for the camshaft position sensor and 
oxygen sensor. Position the wiring harness out of the 
way.

5)  Remove the three 12mm bolts retaining the coil 

bracket to the back of the valve cover. You can 
leave the spark plug wires and electrical connectors 
connected to ease reassembly if desired. Carefully 
lift the coil bracket up and place on top of the 
valve cover, being careful not to damage the coil 
connectors. 

Note: If you choose to remove the 

electrical connectors at the coil be sure to mark 
them, as they can be easily reversed and installed 
in the wrong coil causing a no start.

Remove the green electrical connector for the two-
wire ECM coolant temperature sensor.
