therefore extra care must be taken when
disconnecting a fuel line hose. Loosen any
fuel hose slowly to avoid a sudden release of
pressure which may cause fuel spray. As an
added precaution, place a rag over each
union as it is disconnected to catch any fuel
which is forcibly expelled.
Fuel usage
Refer to Part A of this Chapter. 
Catalytic coverters
Before attempting work on these items,
carefully read the precautions listed in Part D
of this Chapter.

end nipple from the throttle cam (see
illustration).
2On vehicles with an alloy inlet manifold,
release the cable from its retaining clip on the
engine compartment bulkhead (see
illustration).
3On vehicles with a plastic inlet manifold,
release the cable from its retaining clip on the
manifold.
4It may be necessary to remove the
windscreen wiper motor to gain access to
where the cable passes through the bulkhead. 
5Release the cable outer from the bulkhead
by turning its retaining clip (see...

detach the connecting hose from between the
throttle housing and air cleaner (see
illustration).
10Loosen the stepper motor hose-to-throttle
housing retaining clip and detach the hose
from the housing.
11Disconnect the multiplug from the throttle
potentiometer.
12Disconnect the breather hose from the
throttle housing after loosening its retaining
clip. 
13Pull the accelerator cable adjuster nut
from its abutment bracket and release the
cable inner from the throttle cam.
14Remove the four bolts securing...

hose-to-camshaft cover retaining clip and
detach the hose (see illustration).
15Disconnect the multiplug from the stepper
motor.
16Disconnect the inlet manifold breather
hose from the camshaft cover.
17Disconnect the vacuum pipe from the fuel
pressure regulator.
18Loosen the retaining clip and disconnect
the fuel return hose from the fuel rail.
19Remove the two bolts which secure the
fuel feed pipe to the fuel rail and release the
pipe from the rail, discarding the O-ring (see
illustration 14.4)....

41Refitting is the reverse of the removal
procedure, noting the following:
a) Carefully clean the mating surfaces of the
throttle housing and potentiometer.
b) Refit the potentiometer so that the flat on
the spindle is aligned with the mating
portion of the potentiometer.
c) When pressing the potentiometer onto
the spindle, apply finger pressure only to
the shaded area shown (see illustration).
d) Rotate the potentiometer anti-clockwise
only to align the fixing holes.
e) Tighten the potentiometer screws...

8Release the retaining clip and disconnect
the breather pipe from the manifold chamber
(see illustration).
9Release the retaining clips and disconnect
the three breather hoses from the manifold
chamber (see illustration, also illus-
tration 16.8).
10Unscrew the brake servo line banjo bolt
from the manifold chamber, discarding both
sealing washers (see illustration).
11Remove the five bolts securing the
manifold chamber to the inlet manifold. 
12Remove the support stay to manifold
chamber securing bolt....

release it from the manifold (see
illustrations).
37Disconnect the ECU vacuum pipe from
the manifold.
38Loosen the retaining clip and disconnect
the fuel return hose from the fuel rail, covering
the open connections to prevent any ingress
of dirt (see illustration).
39Disconnect the coolant system expansion
tank hose from the inlet manifold.
40Release the fuel return hose from its
retaining clips.
41Disconnect the injector harness and air
temperature sensor multiplugs.
42Remove the two bolts which secure...
