CKP Pulse Plate Replacement
CKP Pulse Plate ReplacementNOTE:
^ Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
^ To avoid damaging the wires and terminals, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
^ To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the engine coolant temperature drops below 100°F (38°C) before loosening the cylinder head bolts.
^ Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection. Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or hoses, or interfere with other parts.
^ Keep the cam chain away from magnetic fields.
1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the audio system, then write down the audio presets.
2. Relieve the fuel pressure.
3. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
4. Drain the engine coolant.
5. Drain the engine oil.
6. Loosen the water pump pulley bolts.
7. Remove the drive belt.
8. Remove the cylinder head.
9. '00 - 05 models: Remove the vacuum tank.
10. Remove the water bypass hose, then remove the three bolts securing the water bypass tube.
11. Remove the water pump pulley.
12. Remove the auto-tensioner.
13. Remove the alternator.
14. Remove the idler pulley, then remove the idler pulley base.
15. Remove the oil pan.
16. Remove the crankshaft pulley.
17. Remove the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
18. Remove the chain case.
19. Remove the CKP pulse plate.
20. Install the CKP pulse plate.
21. Check the chain case oil seal for damage. If the oil seal is damaged, replace the chain case oil seal.
22. Remove any old liquid gasket from the chain case mating surfaces, bolt, and bolt holes.
23. Clean and dry the chain case mating surfaces.
24. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the cylinder block mating surface of the chain case.
NOTE: Do not install the parts if 5 minutes or more have elapsed since applying liquid gasket. Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the old residue.
25. Install the dowel pins and chain case using a new O-ring.
26. Install the crankshaft pulley.
27. Install the CKP sensor.
28. Install the oil pan.
29. Install the idler pulley base, then install the idler pulley.
30. Install the alternator.
31. Install the auto-tensioner.
32. Install the water pump pulley.
33. Install the water bypass hose, and tighten the three bolts securing the water bypass tube.
34. Install the cylinder head.
35. Install the drive belt.
36. Install the vacuum tank.
37. After installation, check that all tubes, hose, and connectors are installed correctly.
38. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
39. Connect the negative cable to the battery.
40. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel line. Repeat this operation three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
41. Refill the engine with engine oil.
42. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
43. '00 - 05 models: Do the engine control module (ECM) idle learn procedure.
44. '06 - 08 models: Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure.
45. Inspect the idle speed.
46. Inspect the ignition timing.
47. Enter the anti-theft code for the audio system, then enter the audio presets. Set the clock.
