Cylinder Head Removal and Installation 
- Working at side  of intake  manifold near left strut  tower, dis- 
connect intake manifold resonance  valve electrical harness 
connector. 
4 Disconnect fuel injector electrical harness connectors  from 
injectors. 
- Use small screwdriver to pry  out wire lock clip on fuel injec- 
tor 
1 connector. 
Repeat  for remaining injectors. 
Release harness conduit  fasteners from injector  rail. 
- Disconnect intake air temperature  sensor electrical har- 
ness  connection (between  intake runners  for cylinders 
3

4 Where  applicable,  remove schraeder  valve cap (arrow)  from 
fuel 
ra~l. Using a tire chuck,  blow fuel back through  feed line 
using a brief burst  of compressed air (maximum  of 
3 bar or 
43.5 psi). 
WARNING- 
Fuel  is underpressure  (approx. 3 - 5 bar or 45 - 75psi) and 
may  be expelled.  Do not  smoke  or 
work near heaters  or 
other  fire  hazards.  Keep a fire  extinguisher  handy Before 
d~sconnecting fuel hoses,  wrap a cloth around fuel  hoses 
to  absorb  any leaking  fuel. Catch  and 
dfspose of escaped 
fuel.  Plug  all open fuel  lines. 
Always unscrew the  fuel tank  cap to release pressure 
I in the tank before working on  the tank or lines. 
Disconnect manifold  vacuum line (arrow) 
Raise car  and support in a safe manner, 
CAUTION- 
Make  sure the car is stable  and well supported  at all times. 
Use  a professional  automotive lift 
orjack stands designed  for 
the  purpose.  A 
floorjack is not  adequate  support. 
Remove  protective engine  splash guard from  below engine.

1 Camshaft Timing Chain 
DOUBLE VAMOS SYSTEM 
(M52 TU AND M54 ENGINES) 
Double VANOS system function 
The M52TU and M54 6-cylinder  engines are  equipped with  a 
Double VANOS system that varies  intake and exhaust cam- 
shaft timing. 
The  main  components  of the  Double  VANOS system  are: 
lntalte and exhaust camshafts with  helical spline inserts. 
Camshaft sprockets with  adjustable gears. 
VANOS  actuators  (two  position piston  housing with 
inter- 
nallexternal helical spline cup). 
Three-way  solenoid switching valves. 
Camshaft  position  impulse wheels. 
Hall  effect camshaft  position sensors. 
Camshaft position 
IS varied  based on engine  rpm, throttle  po- 
sition signal,  intake air and coolant temperature.

Lnition switch 
4 The positive (+) power supply  to the ignition coils  comes to 
the ignition  switch via an unloader  relay. When  the ignition 
switch  is turned on, the  relay closes,  to provide  voltage to the 
ignition  coils. The coils are  then actuated  at the  negative  side 
by  the engine control module. 
NOTE- 
Schematic diagrams shown are  for illustrative purposes  only. 
See  ELE  Electrical  Wiring Diagrams  for engine manage- 
ment specific wiring information. 
WARNING-  Do  not  touch  or disconnect  any cables  from the coils  while 
the  engine  is running  or being  cranked  by the starter: 
The  ignition system produces high  voltages that can be 
fatal.  Avoid  contact  with exposed  terminals.  Use ex- 
treme caution  when 
working on a car  with the  ignition 
switched  on or the  engine  running. 
* Connect  and disconnect the DME system wiring  and 
test equipment leads only  when the ignition is 
OFF 
Before operating  the starter  without  starting  the engine 
(for  example  when 
making a compression  test), always 
disable  the ignition. 
4 Knock  sensors  (arrows)  monitor the  combustion  chamber for 
engine-damaging  knock. Six-cylinder models (shown)  use 
two  sensors with each  sensor monitoring three  cylinders. 
V- 
8 models use four sensors, each monitoring  two cylinders. If 
engine 
knock is detected, the ignition point is retarded  by the 
ECM. 
I Ignition  advance Ignition timing  is electronically mapped and  not adjustable. 
The  ECM  uses engine load,  engine speed, coolant  tempera- 
ture,  knock detection, and intake  air temperature as the basic 
inputs  for timing  control. 
A three dimensional  map similar  to 
the  one  shown  is digitally  stored in the  ECM. 
- The initial ignition point is  determined by the crankshaft 
speed sensor during cranking.  Once the engine is  running. 
timing  is continually adjusted  based on operating  conditions.
