ROAD TESTING:

1. Turn the ignition OFF and disconnect

the vehicle's negative battery cable.

2. Disconnect the mass air sensor

electrical connection.

3.  Loosen the hose clamp and discon-

nect the intake tube from the air cleaner

assembly. NOTE: Remove the factory

hose clamp as it will not be reused.

4.

Using a 10mm socket, loosen and

remove the three bolts that secure the

air cleaner assembly.

5. Remove the air cleaner assembly.

7a. On 1990 models, assemble the saddle

to the ”L” bracket with the provided hard-

ware as shown above.

7b. On 1991-93 models, assemble the

saddle to the “Z” bracket with the provided

hardware as shown above.

8. On 1990 models equipped with fac-

tory cruise control, use a 10mm socket to

loosen and remove the three nuts that

hold the cruise control actuator in place.

Move the cruise control actuator to the

side.

9. On 1990 models, use a 12mm

open end wrench to loosen and

remove the bolt as shown above.

10a. On 1990 models, mount the

saddle/bracket assembly to the cruise

control actuator bracket using the bolt

removed in the previous step as shown

above. NOTE: On vehicles without factory

cruise control, mount the saddle/bracket

assemble to the existing bracket to the

right of and below the fuse box.

10b. On 1991-93 models, mount the sad-

dle / bracket assembly to the original air-

box mounting location using the provided

hardware.

11. On 1990 models equipped with

factory cruise control, place the cruise

control actuator back into it’s original

location and secure it with the three

original nuts.

12. Install the Filtercharger Element along

with the provided retaining ring onto the

upper portion of the air cleaner assembly,

then secure into place using the three

over center clips as shown above.

13a. On the 1990 models, install the

filtercharger assembly into the stock

intake hose with the locating tab in the

12 o’clock position. Secure the intake

hose to the saddle with the hose clamp

provided as shown above.

13b. On 1991-93 models, install the filter-

charger assembly into the stock intake

hose with the locating tab in the 12 o’clock

position and secure with the hose clamp

provided. Attach the saddle-bracket to the

intake hose using the second hose clamp

provided as shown above.

15. Re-connect the mass-air sensor

electrical connection.

17. The C.A.R.B. exemption sticker,

(attached), must be visible under the hood,

so that an emissions inspector can see it

when the vehicle is required to be tested

for emissions. California requires testing

every two years, other states may vary.

18. It will be necessary for all FIPK’s

to be checked periodically for realign-

ment, clearance and tightening of all

connections. Failure to follow  the

above instructions or proper mainte-

nance may void warranty.

1.

Start the engine with the transmis-

sion in neutral or park, and the parking

brake engaged. Listen for air leaks or

odd noises. For air leaks secure hoses

and connections. For odd noises, find

cause and repair before proceeding.

This kit will function identically to the

factory system except for being louder

and much more responsive.

2.

Test drive the vehicle. Listen for odd

noises or rattles and fix as necessary.

3.

If road test is fine, you can now

enjoy the added power and performance

from your kit.

4. K&N suggests checking the

Filtercharger element periodically for

excessive dirt build-up. When the ele-

ment becomes covered in dirt (or once

a year), service it according to the

instructions on the Recharger service

kit that is included in this kit.

6. Release the three over center clips

and remove the upper air cleaner

assembly with the mass air sensor

attached. NOTE: The lower portion of

the air cleaner will not be re-used.
