Installation Time

1 days

SECTION A – DISASSEMBLY

The following section will guide you through the disassembly of the stock components. Special care should be taken to label fasteners and parts that are taken off during this procedure since many will be reused:

1. Cover both fenders with fender covers to protect the vehicle finish.

2. Release the fuel system pressure.

NOTE: The following procedure is taken directly from the Ford Service Manual).

WARNING: Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when the engine is not running. Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel lines or fuel system components, the fuel system pressure must be relieved. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.

WARNING: flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related components. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and can be ignited, resulting in personal injury.

a. Open the vehicle doors and lift the bottom cushion of the back seat. It is held in place by a push tab in the center of each cushion.



b. Disconnect the Fuel Pump Control Module electrical connector located under the driver side back seat. 


c. Start the engine and allow it to idle until it stalls.

d. After the engine stalls, crank the engine for approximately 10 seconds to make sure the fuel injector supply manifold pressure has been released.

e. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

3. Open the hood. Remove the push pins from the battery cover panel located on the passenger side of the engine bay, and remove the panel.


4. Loosen the retaining nuts and disconnect the (-) negative and ( ) positive connections to the battery. Stow the cables out of the way.

FRONT COVER MODIFICATION

WARNING: Wear safe eye protection when grinding to prevent serious personal injury.

1. If not already done so, clean the engine surfaces with brake clean and dry with shop air.
2. Block off the grinding area to prevent debris and metal shavings from spreading through the engine compartment.
3. Using a grinder or cut-off wheel, modify the front cover in the areas shown. The two (2) bosses located at A and B need to be reduced in height such that they are flush, or lower than the height of the nearby rib structure. The boss located at C needs to be reduced in height and cut in half.


Surfaces A and B, must be lower than or equal to the adjacent rib height. Cut in half and remove material off of boss C until flush.
Refer to the following closeup example views for detail.

Crosshatched surfaces A and B must be lower than or equal to this rib height.

INTAKE VALLEY MODIFICATION

1. Mark the boss in the intake valley behind the water pump mounting location as shown.


2. Use a grinder or suitable tool to grind the boss down across the entire length. Make sure to take off material uniformly along the angle. If high spots are left, the intake manifold will not seat properly on the engine.


3. Vacuum out metal shavings.

TPS/ETC WIRING

1. Locate the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) (6-wire) connector and harness at the front of the passenger side cylinder head. Using a proper de-pinning tool, pop out the locking tab and remove the connector from the harness.



2. Depress the locking tab and separate the “empty” female 1 x 6 connector from the new TPS/ETC Extension Harness (131114A595). It will be used in the next step.

3. Route the extension wiring harness to the RH side cylinder head.
4. Install the Connector Block (1315-14A464), found in Hardware Kit E (1315-TVSHKE), into the IMRC 3-pin sensor connector (dark grey) located at the rear of the driver side cylinder head.


TPS/ETC AND EECPV HARNESS ROUTING

1. Remove the wiring retainer and clip on the engine harness.


2. Route both extension harnesses along the engine harness. Secure them in place with zip ties.




3. When complete, the secured harnesses will look similar to this. Trim the excess length from the zip ties.


4. Wrap electrical tape around the two (2) blue CMCV connectors at the rear of the cylinder head as shown.


ENGINE HARNESS GROUND WIRE

1. Pry up the engine harness retainers at the RH front and side of the engine.


2. Peel back the insulation at the base of the ground wire that was attached to the stud on the front cover. Trim back part of the insulation until the ground wire is exposed.

4. Rewrap the ground wire with electrical tape.


5. Use snips to cut off the bent metal tab on the end of the ground tab.


6. Using a step bit, drill the hole on the tab to enlarge the opening. The hole must be larger to accommodate a larger bolt.
TIP: Hold the tab with pliers when drilling to keep the tab stationary.


INTERCOOLER PUMP WIRING

1. Lift up the fuse box by releasing the two (2) retaining tabs and locate the hole underneath the fuse box near the PCM. The intercooler pump relay will be attached at this location.

9. Route the intercooler pump wire harness over the top and in front of the wiper washer bottle. Secure it in place with zip ties as necessary.


10. Zip tie the excess harness out of the way and secure it to a safe location.

KNOCK SENSOR ORIENTATION ADJUSTMENT

The knock sensors must be reoriented and the harnesses rewrapped to accommodate the new fuel charging assembly. It will be necessary to split the two (2) sensor wires further up the harness in order to gain the necessary slack for proper sensor positioning towards the side of the engine valley.
1. Remove the 90-degree plastic wiring retainer clipped to the connector and taped to the wiring convolute.


2. Loosen the two (2) bolts which retain the knock sensors to the engine block (10 mm socket). If necessary, one (1) of the bolts and sensors can be removed for this modification process.
3. Peel back the tape from the connectors and remove the convolute approximately 1-1/2" past where they meet at the harness.


4. Temporarily fit the sensors as follows to determine where to rewrap the wires. Install and rotate the RH and LH knock sensors as far as possible to the outside of the valley of the block. Check that the sensors lay low on the engine valley so they will not interfere with the fuel charging assembly once it is installed.


5. Reinstall the convolute and rewrap the wires with electrical tape as required.
6. Install the knock sensors in position. Install the bolts and torque them to 20-30 Nm.
