ENGINE MECHANICAL (6VE1 3.5L) 6A-3
General Description
Engine Cleanliness And Care
An automobile engine is a combination of many
machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with
tolerances that are measured in the thousandths of a
millimeter (ten thousandths of an inch). Accordingly,
when any internal engine parts are serviced, care and
cleanliness are important. Throughout this section, i
t
should be understood that proper cleaning and
protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is
part of the repair procedure. This is considered
standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.


A liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to
all friction areas during assembly to protect and
lubricate the surfaces on initial operation.

Whenever valve train components, pistons, piston
rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and
crankshaft journal bearings are removed fo
r
service, they should be retained in order.


At the time of installation, they should be installed
in the same locations and with the same mating
surfaces as when removed.

Battery cables should be disconnected before any
major work is performed on the engine. Failure to
disconnect cables may result in damage to wire
harness or other electrical parts.

The six cylinders of this engine are identified by
numbers; Right side cylinders 1, 3 and 5, Left side
cylinders 2, 4 and 6, as counted from crankshaf
t
pulley side to flywheel side.
General Information on Engine Service
The following information on engine service should be
noted carefully, as it is important in preventing damage
and contributing to reliable engine performance.

When raising or supporting the engine for any
reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan. Due to
the small clearance between the oil pan and the oil
pump strainer, jacking against the oil pan may
cause damage to the oil pick-up unit.

The 12-volt electrical system is capable o
f
damaging circuits. When performing any work
where electrical terminals could possibly be
grounded, the ground cable of the battery should
be disconnected at the battery.


Any time the intake air duct or air cleaner is
removed, the intake opening should be covered.
This will protect against accidental entrance o
f
foreign material into the cylinder which could
cause extensive damage when the engine is
started.
Cylinder Block
The cylinder block is made of aluminum die-cast casting
for 75Vtype six cylinders. It has a rear plate integrated
structure and employs a deep skirt. The cylinder liner is
cast and the liner inner diameter and crankshaft journal
diameter are classified into grades. The crankshaft is
supported by four bearings of which width is differen
t
between No.2, No.3 and No.1, No.4; the width of No.3
bearing on the body side is different in order to suppor
t
the thrust bearing. The bearing cap is made of nodular
cast iron and each bearing cap uses four bolts and two
side bolts.
Cylinder Head
The cylinder head, made of aluminum alloy casting
employs a pent-roof type combustion chamber with a
spark plug in the center. The intake and exhaust valves
are placed in V-type design. The ports are cross-flo
w
type.
Valve Train
Intake and exhaust camshaft on the both side of banks
are driven through an camshaft drive gear by timing
belt. The valves are operated by the camshaft and the
valve clearance is adjusted to select suitable thickness
shim.
Intake Manifold
The intake manifold system is composed of the
aluminum cast common chamber and intake manifold
attached with six fuel injectors.
Exhaust Manifold
The exhaust manifold is made of nodular cast iron.
Pistons and Connecting Rods
Aluminum pistons are used after selecting the grade
that meets the cylinder bore diameter. Each piston has
two compression rings and one oil ring. The piston pin
made of chromium steel is offset 1mm toward the thrus
t
side, and the thrust pressure of piston to the cylinder
wall varies gradually as the piston travels. The
connecting rods are made of forged steel. The
connecting rod bearings are graded for correct size
selection.
Crankshaft and Bearings
The crankshaft is made of Ductile cast-iron. Pins and
journals are graded for correct size selection for thei
r
bearing.
Engine Control Module (ECM)
The ECM location is on the common charmber.

compression rings and one oil ring. The piston pin is made of cast hardened steel. The connecting rod bearings are
made of modular cast iron. The connecting rod bearings are made of steel backed with tri-metal babbitt metal.

Crankshaft and Bearings
The crank shaft is made of modular cast iron. Pins and journal are graded for correct size selection for their bearing.

6E–54 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION FOR ELECTRIC
IGNITION SYSTEM
The engine use two ignition coils, one per two cylinders.
A two wire connector provides a battery voltage primary
supply through the ignition fuse.
The ignition control spark timing is the ECM’s method of
controlling the spark advance and the ignition dwell.
The ignition control spark advance and the ignition dwell
are calculated by the ECM using the following inputs.
Engine speed
Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
Throttle position sensor
Vehicle speed sensor
ECM and ignition system supply voltage
Ignition coil works to generate only the secondary
voltage be receiving the primary voltage from ECM.
The primary voltage is generated at the coil driver
located in the ECM. The coil driver generate the primary
voltage based on the crankshaft position signal. In
accordance with the crankshaft position signal, ignition
coil driver determines the adequate ignition timing and
also cylinder number to ignite.
Ignition timing is determined the coolant temperature,
intake air temperature, engine speed, engine load,
knock sensor signal, etc.
Spark Plug
Although worn or dirty spark plugs may give satisfactory
operation at idling speed, they frequently fail at higher
engine speeds. Faulty spark plugs may cause poor fuel
economy, power loss, loss of speed, hard starting and
generally poor engine performance. Follow the
scheduled maintenance service recommendations to
ensure satisfactory spark plug performance. Refer to
Maintenance and Lubrication.
Normal spark plug operation will result in brown to
grayish-tan deposits appearing on the insulator portion
of the spark plug. A small amount of red-brown, yellow,
and white powdery material may also be present on the
insulator tip around the center electrode. These
deposits are normal combustion by-products of fuels
and lubricating oils with additives. Some electrode wear
will also occur. Engines which are not running properly
are often referred to as “misfiring.” This means the
ignition spark is not igniting the air/fuel mix ture at the
proper time. While other ignition and fuel system causes
must also be considered, possible causes include
ignition system conditions which allow the spark voltage
to reach ground in some other manner than by jumping
across the air gap at the tip of the spark plug, leaving
the air/fuel mix ture unburned. Misfiring may also occur
when the tip of the spark plug becomes overheated and
ignites the mixture before the spark jumps. This is
referred to as “pre-ignition.”
Spark plugs may also misfire due to fouling, ex cessive
gap, or a cracked or broken insulator. If misfiring occursbefore the recommended replacement interval, locate
and correct the cause.
Carbon fouling of the spark plug is indicated by dry,
black carbon (soot) deposits on the portion of the spark
plug in the cylinder. Ex cessive idling and slow speeds
under light engine loads can keep the spark plug
temperatures so low that these deposits are not burned
off. Very rich fuel mix tures or poor ignition system output
may also be the cause. Refer to DTC P1167.
Oil fouling of the spark plug is indicated by wet oily
deposits on the portion of the spark plug in the cylinder,
usually with little electrode wear. This may be caused by
oil during break-in of new or newly overhauled engines.
Deposit fouling of the spark plug occurs when the
normal red-brown, yellow or white deposits of
combustion by-products become sufficient to cause
misfiring. In some cases, these deposits may melt and
form a shiny glaze on the insulator around the center
electrode. If the fouling is found in only one or two
cylinders, valve stem clearances or intake valve seals
may be allowing ex cess lubricating oil to enter the
cylinder, particularly if the deposits are heavier on the
side of the spark plug facing the intake valve.
Ex cessive gap means that the air space between the
center and the side electrodes at the bottom of the
spark plug is too wide for consistent firing. This may be
due to improper gap adjustment or to ex cessive wear of
the electrode during use. A check of the gap size and
comparison to the gap specified for the vehicle in
Maintenance and Lubrication will tell if the gap is too
wide. A spark plug gap that is too small may cause an
unstable idle condition. Ex cessive gap wear can be an
indication of continuous operation at high speeds or
with engine loads, causing the spark to run too hot.
Another possible cause is an ex cessively lean fuel
mixture.
