FUNDAMENTALS
FOR
THE
DO-ITYOURSELF
OWNER
In
places
where
a
shaft
mustpass
through
a
housing,
flexible
lip
seals
areused
to
keep
the
lubricating
oil
or
grease
from
leak-
ingout
past
the
rotating
shaft
.
Seals
should
never
be
reused
once
they
have
been
removed
.
When
removing
a
seal,
be
care-
ful
not
lo
scratch
or
otherwise
damage
the
metal
surfaces
.
Even
minor
damage
to
sealing
surfaces
can
cause
sea¡
damage
and
leakage
.
The
key
to
sea¡
installation
is
to
get
the
sea¡
in
straight
without
damaging
¡t
.
Use
a
sea¡
driver
that
is
the
same
diameter
as
the
seal
housing
to
gently
and
evenly
insta¡I
into
place
.
If
a
proper
size
seal
driver
is
not
available,
a
socket
of
the
right
size
will
do
.
When
installing
a
seal,
¡t
a
good
idea
to
coat
the
sea¡
with
o¡I
to
aid
installation
.
Some
seals
are
directional
and
special
instal-
lation
instructions
apply
.
Make
sure
¡t
is
installed
with
the
lip
fac-
ing
the
correct
way
.
Normally
the
lip
faces
the
inside
.
Note
the
installation
direction
of
the
old
sea¡before
removing
¡t
.

Wire
Repairs
Repairs
to
a

harness
requirespecial
care
to
make
the
repair
permanent
.
The
wire
endsmust
be
clean
.
lf
frayedor
oth-
erwise
damaged,
cut
off
the
end
.
If
the
wire
is
too
short,
splice
in
a
new
piece
of
wire
of
the
same
size
and
make
two
connec-
tions
.
Use
connectors
that
are
designed
for
the
purpose
.
Crimped-
on
or
soldered-onconnectors
are
best
.
Crimp
connectors
and
special
crimping
pliers
are
widely
available
.
If
soldering,
use
needlenose
pliers
tohold
the
wire
near
the
solder
joint
and
cre-
ate
a
"heat
dam"
.
This
keeps
the
heat
and
the
solder
from
trav-
eling
up
the
wire
.
Always
use
a
solder
made
specifically
for
electrical
work
(rosin
core)
.
NOTE-
Twisting
wirestogether
to
make
a
repair
is
not
recom-
mended
.
Corrosion
and
vibration
will
eventually
spoil
the
connection
and
may
lead
to
irreparable
damage
to
sensitive
electronic
componente
.
NOTE-
For
some
bigger
jobs,
partial
disassembly
and
inspec-
tion
are
required
to
determine
acomplete

.
Read
the

measure
the
voltage
drop
across
the
connection
.
A

indicates
excessive

the
con-

is
corroded,

.
Clean

Wiring
and
Harness
Connections
The
electronic
fuel
injection
and
ignition
systems
operate
at
low
voltage
and
current
values,
making
them
sensitive
to
small
increases
in
resistance
.
The
electrical
system
is
routine-
ly
subjected
to
corrosion,
vibration
and
wear,
so
faults
or
cor-
rosion
in
the
wiring
harness
and
connectors
are
common
causes
of
driveability
problems
.
Visually
inspect
all
wiring,
connectors,
switches
and
fuses
in
the
system
.
Loose
or
damaged
connectors
can
cause
inter-
mittent
problems,
especially
the
smallterminals
in
the
ECM
connectors
.
Disconnect
the
wiring
harness
connectors
to
check
for
corrosion
;
and
use
electrical
cleaning
spray
to
re-
move
contaminants
.
Often,
simply
disconnecting
and
recon-
necting
a
dirty
connector
several
times
will
clean
the
terminals
and
help
to
reestablish
good
electrical
contact
.
If
a
wiring
harnessconnectorhasno
visible
faults,
but
is
still
suspect,
measure
the
voltage
drop
across
the
connector
.
A
large
drop
indicates
excessive
resistance,
meaning
the
con-
nector
is
corroded,
dirty
or
damaged
.
Clean
or
repair
the
con-
nector
and
retest
.
Ground
Connections
For
any
electrical
circuit
to
work,
it
must
make
acomplete
path,
beginning
at
the
positive
(+)
battery
terminal
and
ending
at
the
negative
(-)
terminal
.
The
negative
(-)
battery
cable
is
attached
to
the
car's
chassis
.
Therefore,
any
wireor
metal
part
attached
to
the
chassis
provides
a
good
ground
path
back
to
the
negative
(-)
battery
terminal
.
Poorground
connections
are
amajor
source
of
driveabílity
problems
.
If
any
of
themainground
connections
for
the
igni-
tion
system
or
the
fuelinjection
system
are
faulty,
the
in-
creased
resistance
in
that
circuit
will
cause
problems
.
Visually
inspect
al¡
ground
wires
and
connections
for
breaks,
looseness
or
corrosion
.
Be
careful
because
wires
sometimes
break
internally
or
in
areas
not
easily
visible
.

main
grounds
for
the
DME
system
are
shown
in

Also
check
the
main
fuel

ground
in
the
center
console,
below
the
emergency
brake
handle
.
If
a
ground
connection
has
no
visiblefaults,
but
is
still
suspect,
measure
the
voltage
drop
acrossthe
connection
.
A
large
drop
indicates
high
resistance,
meaning
the

is
corroded,

or

Fuel
Supply
For
the
engine
tostart
and
run
properly,
the
injection
sys-
tem
must
deliver
fuel
in
precise
proportion
to
the
amount
of
air
entering
the
engine
.
Todo
this,
the
injection
system
requires
an
unrestricted
supply
of
fuel
from
the
fuel
pump
.
If
the
fuel
pump
is
not
working,
the
engine
will
notrun
.
If
the
fuel
filter
or
a
fuel
line
is
restricted,
the
engine
may
run
poorly
.
If
the
restriction
is
severe
enough
the
engine
will
not
start
.
lf
fuel
delivery
problemsare
suspected,
perform
the
tests
de-
scribed
in
160
Fuel
Tank
and
Fuel
Pump
.
The
fuel
pressure
created
by
the
fuel
pump
is
controlled
by
a
pressure
regulator
thatreturns
excess
fuelto
the
tank
.
Any
change
in
fuel
pressure
will
cause
a
change
in
the
base
air-fuel
mixture
delivered
to
the
engine
.
If
the
fuel
pressure
is
too
low,
the
base
air-fuel
mixture
will
be
lean
.
lf
the
fuel
pressure
is
too
high,
the
base
mixture
will
be
rich
.
Fuel
pressure
tests
aredescribed
in
160
Fuel
Tank
and
Fuel
Pump
and130
Fuel
Injection
.
NOTE-
Fuel
pressure
tests
require
a
pressure
gauge
.
If
thistoolís
not
avaílable,
the
tests
can
be
performed
byan

DRIVEABILITY
TROUBLESHOOTING
Properly
operating
fuel
injectors
play
amajor
role
in
fuel
de-
livery
.
The
DMEECM
switches
the
injectors
on
and
off

connectors
.
Posítíve
(+)
bat-
tery
voltage
is
always
present
at
the
connectors
when
theen-
gine
is
running
.
An
injector
that
fails
or
loses
power
will
not
open,
creating
a
lean
air-fuel
mixture
and
causing
the
engine
to
run
poorly
when

.
An
injector
that
shorts
to
ground
will
remain
open
constantly
when
the
en-
gine
is
running,
creating
a
richair-fuel
mixture
that
can
dilute
engine
oil,
foul

cause
a
rough

Mass

sensor
(hot

testing
and

When
the
engine
is
running,
a
current
is
used
to
heat
a
thin
wire
in
the
center
of
the
sensor
.
See
Fig
.
25
.
The
current
in
the
wire
is
regulated
to
maintain
a
temperature
of
100°C
more
than
the
air
passing
over
it
.
The
current
used
to
heat
the
wire
is
electronically
conneced
into
a
voltage
measurement
corre-
sponding
to
the
mass
of
intake
a¡
r
.
To
keep
the
wire
clean,
it
is
heated
to
a
temperature
of
about
1,000°C
(1,830°F)
for
one
second
.
This
"burn-off"
cycle
takes
place
automatically,
four
seconds
after
the
engine
is
tumed
off
.
lf
thehot
wire
breaks
or
if
there
is
no
output
from
the

the
ECM
automatically
switches
to
a
"limp-home"
mode
and
