23. Install the drive belt (see DRIVE BELT INSPECTION ).  

24. After installation, check that all tubes, hoses, and connectors are installed correctly.  

25. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so 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.  

26. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open 

(see COOLANT CHECK ).  

27. Do the crankshaft position (CKP) pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure (see CRANK (CKP) 

PATTERN CLEAR/CRANK (CKP) PATTERN LEARN ).  

28. Inspect the idle speed (see IDLE SPEED INSPECTION ).  

29. Inspect the ignition timing (see IGNITION TIMING INSPECTION ).
