Nissan Maxima. REMOVAL

  1. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-592, "Inspection".
  2. Disconnect the battery negative terminal. Refer to PG-67, "Removal and Installation (Battery)".
  3. Remove intake manifold collector. Refer to EM-25, "Removal and Installation".
  4. Disconnect fuel tube quick connector at vehicle piping side.
  5. To remove the quick connector cap (1), hold the sides of the connector (A), push in the tabs (2) and pull out the fuel tube (3).

CAUTION:

  • The tube can be removed when the tabs are completely depressed. Do not twist fuel tube.
  • Do not use any tools to remove the quick connector.
  • Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful when welding near the tube.
  • Prevent acid liquids such as battery electrolyte, etc. from getting on the resin tube.
  • Do not bend or twist the tube during removal or installation.
  • Do not remove the remaining retainer on the tube.
  • When the tube is replaced, also replace the retainer with a new one.
  • To keep the connecting portion clean and to avoid damage and foreign materials entering, cover the ends of the fuel tubes with plastic bags or something similar.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Make sure there are no fuel leaks at connections as follows:

  1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning ignition switch ON with engine stopped. Then check for fuel leaks at connections.
  2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections.

CAUTION: Do not touch engine immediately after stopping as engine is extremely hot.
