INSTALLATION - UPSTREAM 1/1 - 3.3/3.8L
The engines uses two heated oxygen sensors.
(1) After removing the sensor, the exhaust mani-
fold threads must be cleaned with an 18 mm X 1.5 +
6E tap. If reusing the original sensor, coat the sensor
threads with an anti-seize compound such as Loctite
771- 64 or equivalent. New sensors have compound
on the threads and do not require an additional coat-
ing.
(2) Install sensor and tighten to 27 N´m (20 ft.
lbs.).
(3) Connect the electrical connector for the O2 sen-
sor and install onto bracket.
(4) Connect the electrical connector for the speed
control servo.
(5) Install the speed control servo and bracket
refer to the Speed Control Servo for more informa-
tion.
(6) Connect the speed control vacuum harness to
servo.
(7) Install the battery tray, refer to the Battery
section for more information.
(8) Install battery, refer to the Battery section for
more information.
INSTALLATION DOWNSTREAM 2/1 -
2.4/3.3/3.8L
The O2S is located on the side of the catalytic con-
verter.
Threads of new oxygen sensors are factory coated
with anti-seize compound to aid in removal.DONOT add any additional anti-seize compound to
the threads of a new oxygen sensor.
(1) Install sensor and tighten to 27 N´m (20 ft.
lbs.).
(2) Connect the electrical connector.
(3) Lower vehicle.
(4) Install the negative battery cable.
THROTTLE BODY
DESCRIPTION
The throttle body is located on the intake manifold
(Fig. 26) or (Fig. 27). Fuel does not enter the intake
manifold through the throttle body. Fuel is sprayed
into the manifold by the fuel injectors.
OPERATION
Filtered air from the air cleaner enters the intake
manifold through the throttle body. The throttle body
contains an air control passage controlled by an Idle
Air Control (IAC) motor. The air control passage is
used to supply air for idle conditions. A throttle valve
(plate) is used to supply air for above idle conditions.
Certain sensors are attached to the throttle body.
The accelerator pedal cable, speed control cable and
transmission control cable (when equipped) are con-
nected to the throttle body linkage arm.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechani-
cally limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate.Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw.All idle speed functions are
controlled by the PCM.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor mounts to the side of
the throttle body (Fig. 28) or (Fig. 29).The sensor
connects to the throttle blade shaft. The TPS is a
variable resistor that provides the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage).
OPERATION
The signal represents throttle blade position. As
the position of the throttle blade changes, the resis-
tance of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the
TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
powertrain control module) represents throttle blade
position. The TPS output voltage to the PCM varies
from approximately 0.6 volt at minimum throttle
opening (idle) to a maximum of 4.5 volts at wide open
throttle.
Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM
uses the TPS input to determine current engine oper-
ating conditions. The PCM also adjusts fuel injector
pulse width and ignition timing based on these
inputs.

(6) Start engine and let idle just long enough to
circulate power steering fluid through the analyzer
and hoses. Shut off engine.
(7) Check power steering fluid level and add fluid
as necessary. Start engine again and let idle until the
air is out of the fluid.
(8) Gauge should read below 300 psi (2068 kPa). If
above, inspect the hoses for restrictions and repair as
necessary. The initial pressure should be in the range
of 100-275 psi (689-1896 kPa) depending on fluid
temperature. The flow meter should read above 1.5
GPM.
CAUTION: The following test procedure involves
testing maximum pump pressure output and flow
control valve operation. Do not leave valve closed
for more than four seconds as the pump could be
damaged.
NOTE: Power steering pump maximum pressure for
2.4L engines is 1,200 ± 1,350 psi (8,274 ± 9,308
kPa). Power steering pump maximum pressure for
all other engines is 1,400 ± 1,500 psi (9,653 ± 10,342
kPa).
(9) Close analyzer valve fully three times and
record highest pressure indicated each time. All three
readings must be within specifications. If any of the
three power steering pump pressures are above orbelow specifications, replace pump. (Refer to 19 -
STEERING/PUMP - REMOVAL)
CAUTION: Do not force the steering to operate
against the stops for more than 4 seconds at a time
because pump damage can result.
(10) Once the pump has been verified as working
correctly, completely open the valve on the Power
Steering Analyzer. Turn the steering wheel to the
extreme left until the stop in the steering gear is
met. Hold it there for 2±4 seconds, then release it.
Now turn the steering wheel to the right until the
right stop is met. Hold it there for 2±4 seconds, then
release it. Record the stabilized pressure at each
position. Compare the recorded readings to the spec-
ifications. If the output pressures are not within 100
psi (689 kPa) of one another against either stop or
are below specifications, the steering gear is leaking
internally and must be replaced. (Refer to 19 -

NOTE: * Steering shudder can be expected in new
vehicles and vehicles with recent steering system
repairs. Shudder should dissipate after the vehicle
has been driven several weeks.
NOTE: ** To evaluate this condition, it may be nec-
essary to disconnect the coupling at the base of the
steering column. Turn the steering wheel and feel or
listen for internal rubbing in steering column. To
avoid damaging the column clockspring, note the
following. Before disconnecting coupling, place
tires in the straight-ahead position and center steer-
ing wheel. Once disconnected, DO NOT rotate
steering wheel more than one revolution in eitherdirection and place steering wheel in original loca-
tion before reconnecting coupling. If this position is
lost, the steering column clockspring must be
recentered following the procedure found within the
procedure for steering column installation in the
steering column section.
NOTE: *** Increased low speed or stationary steer-
ing effort can be expected if the steering fluid is at
a high temperature. High fluid temperature usually
results from high engine rpm due to trailer towing,
ascending grades, or racing the engine for pro-
longed periods of time.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not force steering wheel onto steer-
ing column shaft by driving it on. Pull steering
wheel down onto shaft using only the steering
wheel retaining nut.
(1) Align master splines on steering wheel and
steering shaft, and flats on steering wheel with for-
mations on clockspring. Install the steering wheel on
the steering column shaft. All wiring leads from the
clockspring must be routed as shown (Fig. 41).NOTE: Before installing the damper on the steering
wheel, inspect the damper to ensure the rubber iso-
lator on the damper is not deteriorated or damaged.
If the damper is installed with a damaged isolator a
buzz, squeak or rattle condition may develop.
(2) Install the steering wheel damper on the steer-
ing wheel. When damper is installed, it must be posi-
tioned on the steering wheel as shown in (Fig. 39).
(3) Install the steering wheel retaining nut.
Tighten the steering wheel retaining nut to a torque
of 61 N´m (45 ft. lbs.).
(4) Connect the wiring lead from the clockspring to
the remote radio control connector (Fig. 38).
(5) Install the wiring leads from the clockspring on
the airbag, horn switch wire, and speed control
switches (Fig. 37). Attach the wire routing clip to the
studs on the airbag module.
(6) Install the airbag module in the steering wheel.
(7) Install the 3 bolts (1 in each spoke of the steer-
ing wheel) attaching the airbag module to the steer-
ing wheel. Tighten the 3 airbag module attaching
nuts to a torque of 11 N´m (100 in. lbs.).
