HEAT SHIELDS
DESCRIPTION
Heat shields are needed to protect both the vehicle
and the environment from the high temperatures
developed by the catalytic converter. The catalytic
converter releases additional heat into the exhaust
system. Under severe operating conditions, the tem-
perature increases in the area of the converter. Such
conditions can exist when the engine misfires or oth-
erwise does not operate at peak efficiency (Fig. 17).
MUFFLER
DESCRIPTION
Both the 4.0L and 4.7L engines use a stainless
steel muffler to control exhaust noise levels and
exhaust back pressure. The muffler and tailpipe are
a one piece assembly (Fig. 18).
REMOVAL
All original equipment exhaust systems are manu-
factured with the tailpipe welded to the muffler. Ser-
vice replacement mufflers and tailpipes are either
clamped together or welded together.
WARNING: IF TORCHES ARE USED WHEN WORK-
ING ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, DO NOT ALLOW
THE FLAME NEAR THE FUEL LINES.
(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Saturate the bolts and nuts with heat valve
lubricant. Allow 5 minutes for penetration.(3) Loosen the exhaust clamp on the catalytic con-
verter to muffler connection (Fig. 19).
(4) Heat the catalytic converter-to-muffler connec-
tion with a torch until the metal becomes cherry red.
(5) While the metal is still cherry red, remove the
tailpipe/muffler assembly from the catalytic con-
verter.
(6) Remove the tailpipe from the tailpipe hanger
(Fig. 20).
(7) Remove the tailpipe/muffler assembly (Fig. 20).
INSTALLATION
(1) If the tailpipe hanger assembly was removed,
install the hanger to the frame. Tighten the bolts to
22 N´m (192 in. lbs.) torque.
(2) Position the tailpipe and muffler onto the
tailpipe hanger (Fig. 20) .
(3) Install the muffler onto the catalytic converter.
Make sure that the tailpipe has sufficient clearance
from the floor pan. Install exhaust clamp and tighten
the nuts to 47 N´m (35 ft. lbs.) torque (Fig. 19) .
(4) Lower the vehicle.
(5) Start the engine and inspect for exhaust leaks
and exhaust system contact with the body panels.
Adjust the alignment, if needed.

CAUTION: The fittings on both tools must be in
good condition and free from any small leaks
before performing the proceeding test.
(9) Start engine and bring to normal operating
temperature.
(10) Observe fuel pressure test gauge (or DRB
screen). Normal operating pressure should be 339
kPa   34 kPa (49.2 psi   5 psi).
(11) Shut engine off.
(12) Pressure should not fall below30 psi for five
minutes.
(13) If pressure falls below 30 psi, it must be
determined if a fuel injector, the supply check valve
within the fuel pump module, the fuel filter/pressure
regulator, or a fuel tube/line is leaking.
(14) Again, start engine and bring to normal oper-
ating temperature.
(15) Shut engine off.
(16)Testing for fuel injector or fuel rail leak-
age:Clamp off the rubber hose portion of the 6539
Adaptor Tool between the fuel rail and the test port
ªTº on Adapter Tool (be sure clamping pressure issufficient). If pressure now holds at or above 30 psi, a
fuel injector or the fuel rail is leaking.
(17) Again, start engine and bring to normal oper-
ating temperature.
(18) Shut engine off.
(19) Raise vehicle.
(20)Testing for fuel filter/pressure regulator
leakage:While continuing to securely clamp
between the fuel rail and the test port9T9on Adaptor
Tool 6539, securely clamp offanyrubber hose por-
tion of the Adaptor Tool 6539 that was installed
between the fuel pressure line and the filter/regula-
tor fitting (by restricting the pump module supply
line's backflow, you isolate any leakdown originating
from the filter/regulator via the tank return line.) If
the pressure falls below 30 psi within 5 minutes, the
filter/regulator is leaking. If it now holds at or above
30 psi, the electric fuel pump check valve is leaking
or a fuel tube/line is leaking. A fuel odor presence
would indicate the latter.
The electric fuel pump is not serviced separately. If
replacement is necessary, replace the fuel pump mod-
ule assembly. The filter/regulator may be replaced
separately. Refer to Fuel Filter/Fuel Pressure Regu-
lator Removal/Installation for additional information.

WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING ANY FUEL SYSTEM HOSES,
FITTINGS OR LINES, THE FUEL SYSTEM PRES-
SURE MUST BE RELEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL
SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE IN
THIS GROUP.
The lines/tubes/hoses used on fuel injected vehicles
are of a special construction. This is due to the
higher fuel pressures and the possibility of contami-
nated fuel in this system. If it is necessary to replace
these lines/tubes/hoses, only those marked EFM/EFI
may be used.
If equipped:The hose clamps used to secure rub-
ber hoses on fuel injected vehicles are of a special
rolled edge construction. This construction is used to
prevent the edge of the clamp from cutting into the
hose. Only these rolled edge type clamps may be
used in this system. All other types of clamps may
cut into the hoses and cause high-pressure fuel leaks.
Use new original equipment type hose clamps.
FUEL PUMP

FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank is constructed of a plastic material.
Its main functions are for fuel storage and for place-
ment of the fuel pump module and certain ORVR
components.
OPERATION
All models pass a full 360 degree rollover test
without fuel leakage. To accomplish this, fuel and
vapor flow controls are required for all fuel tank con-
nections.
A fuel tank check valve(s) is mounted into the top
of the fuel tank (or pump module). Refer to Fuel
Tank Check Valve for additional information.
An evaporation control system is connected to the
check valve(s) to reduce emissions of fuel vapors into
the atmosphere. When fuel evaporates from the fuel
tank, vapors pass through vent hoses or tubes to a
charcoal canister where they are temporarily held.
When the engine is running, the vapors are drawn
into the intake manifold. Certain models are also
equipped with a self-diagnosing system using a Leak
Detection Pump (LDP). Refer to Emission Control
System for additional information.
Refer to ORVR for On-Board Refueling Vapor
Recovery system information.
REMOVAL
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER CON-
STANT FUEL PRESSURE EVEN WITH ENGINE OFF.
PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED BEFORE SERVIC-
ING FUEL TANK.
Two different procedures may be used to drain fuel
tank (through ORVR control valve opening at top of
fuel tank, or using DRB scan tool). The quickest is
draining through ORVR control valve opening at top
of fuel tank (Fig. 26).
As an alternative procedure, the electric fuel pump
may be activated allowing tank to be drained at fuel
rail connection. Refer to DRB scan tool for fuel pump
activation procedures. Before disconnecting fuel line
at fuel rail, release fuel pressure. Refer to the Fuel
System Pressure Release Procedure for procedures.
