Protege L4-2.0L DOHC (2003)
1. To close the valve, fit a jig part number FS8N-20-150 in the lever.
NOTE: Fitting the jig can be simplified by applying vacuum to the actuator with a hand vacuum pump.
2. Replace each valve's screw with a new one according to the following procedure.
- If no looseness is observed in the valve and shaft; replace each valve's screw with a new one, one by one, tightening each screw as it is replaced
using the SST (torque screwdriver).
CAUTION: Please be careful if the two screws are loosened at the same time, the valve shaft's location will vary and will come into contact with
the port. This will cause the valve to get damaged or stuck.
- If looseness is observed in the valve and shaft, perform the following procedure.
a. Using a flat screwdriver, move the play of the shaft toward the lever.
b. Loosen the two screws until the valve is just free to move.
c. First remove one screw. Then, by moving the valve toward the lever, tighten a new screw using an SST (torque screwdriver). Do the same on
the other new screw.
CAUTION: Make sure the valve is in position. Otherwise, the valve will come into touch with the port. This will cause the valve to get damaged
or stuck.
3. Remove the jig from the lever. Move the lever by hand to confirm it functions normally.
