Injector Base Removal and Installation: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Pilot, 2010 Honda Pilot, and 2009 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Install the front injector base (A) and the rear injector base (B) using new gaskets (C). Tighten the injector base mounting bolts/nuts (D) in a crisscross pattern in three steps, beginning with the inner nuts.
NOTE: The front injector base gasket is different from the rear one. Do not mix injector base gasket types.

Install the injectors (see INJECTOR REPLACEMENT ).
Install the intake manifold (see INTAKE MANIFOLD REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
Install the P/S pump and the P/S hose bracket (see step 26 on CYLINDER HEAD INSTALLATION ).
Install the drive belt (see DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT ).
Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch to 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.
