When I was new to working on the X (and cars), I was always wondered what certain parts of the engine were, or where things were located that other users were talking about, but there wasn't a good overview anywhere. I hope to end that with this overview. These are specific to a normally aspirated (no supercharger) 6 cylinder Gen 1.0 (2000-2001), but should be very close for the 1.5 (2002-2004).
Top Half
Overview
Throttle Routing
Distributor
Engine Right (Bank 1)
Engine Left (Bank 2)
Brake Components
Other things in the same area
Clutch Master (Manual Transmission only)
Intake system
Just below/in front of air filter
Battery
Engine Fuses
And behind that
Air Conditioning parts
O2 Sensor Connectors
Power Steering Pump
Fan
Coolant Thermostat
AC Belt Idler pulley adjustment
Power Steering / Water Pump / Fan Belt Idler pulley adjustment
Kinda n00bish, but I wanted something like this when I was a n00b. I'll get more pics as I work on the X; if there's something specific someone wants to add, lemme know and I'll try to get it.
