Fuel Injection I 
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor, 
testing 
The ECT sensor is located  on the  front  of the  engine  in the 
coolant~thermostat flange.  The ECT sensor is a  dual temper- 
ature sensor.  One circuit provides coolant  temperature infor- 
mation  to the ECM  while the other  circuit provides  coolant 
temperature information  to the  instrument  cluster. 
The ECM determines the correct ignition timing  and 
airlfuel 
mixture required for the  engine by  monitoring an  applied volt- 
age 
(5 vdc)  to the  sensor.  Thevoltage  drop across the sensor 
varies  as the coolant temperature (sensor resistance) chang- 
es. 
NOTE- 
The  ECT  sensor  is an NTC  (negative temperature  coeffi- 
cient)  type sensor.  In other  words,  as the  temperature rises, 
resistance through  the sensor  decreases. 
If  the  ETC  sensor input is  faulty or non-plausible,  the MIL is il- 
luminated  when OBD 
II fault criteria are  exceeded. The ECM 
assumes  a substitute  value 
(80" C/ 176°F) to maintain  engine 
operation. The ignition timing is  set to a 
conse~ativelsafe ba- 
sic  setting. 
Disconnect harness from 
ECTsensor (A) at  coolant  flange at 
front  of engine. 
- Check  ECT  sensor resistance using a  multimeter at sensor 
terminals 
3 and 4. Peel back protective boot (B) to  ID termi- 
nal  numbers  on connector  housing.

I Oxygen sensors, replacing 
4 Four Bosch oxygen sensors (2 precatalytic converter sen- 
sors  and 
2 post-catalytic converter  sensors) provide a vary- 
ing voltage signal 
[0.2 vdc  (max. lean)  to 0.8 vdc (max.  rich)] 
to the  ME 
7.2 ECM representing  oxygen content  in the ex- 
haust  gas. 
WARNING- 
Exhaust  manifolds  and pipes can  be hot  enough  to cause  se- 
rious  burns.  Wear suitable heavy gloves  and other appropri- 
ate protection. 
- Using  a special oxygen sensor  socltet, remove the threaded 
sensors from  the exhaust system. 
- If not  already applied, coat  the new  oxygen sensor  threads 
with an anti-seize compound before installation.  Do not  get 
compound on the sensor  tip.

- Remove  plastic cover from above  fuel rail. See100  Engine 
Removal  and Installation. 
- Disconnected battery negative (-) cable. 
CAUTION- 
Prior  to disconnecting the battea read  the battery  discon- 
nection  cautions  given at the  front  of this  manual.  See 001 
General  Warnings  and Cautions. 
- Remove  both ignition coil  covers.

press  in plastic collar  (arrow) and separate fuel  line. 
WARNING - 
Fuel may be expelled underpressure.  Do not srnol(e or work 
near  heaters  or 
other fire hazards.  Keep a fire extinguisher 
handy.  Before disconnecting fuel  hoses, wrap a cloth around 
fuel  hose 
to absorb anv leakinq fuel. Plug all open  fuel lines. 
- Lifl fuel rail  and injectors straight  up to remove. 
- lnstallation  is reverse  of removal.  Use new injector seals and 
clamps  during installation. 
Mass air flow (MAF) sensor, 
removing and installing 
4 The MAF  sensor is provided with operating power from the 
ECM  relay.  Based  on intake  air mass,  the MAF  sensor  gen- 
erates a varying voltage  (approx.  0.5 
- 4.5 vdc)  as an  input 
signal 
back to  the  ECM.  A separate intalte air temperature 
sensor  is not used. 
- Removing  MAF sensor: 
Remove  upper air filter  housing  locking clips 
Unscrew and remove sensor harness. 
Disconnect air temperature  sensor harness. 
Loosen hose clamp. 
Remove upper filter  housing with sensor. 
- lnstallation  is reverse  of removal

Evaporative system  pressure leak 
diagnosis, overview 
The  M62 TU engine is  equipped wlth an evaporative  fuel sys- 
tem pressure leak diagnosis system.  The main component  of 
this system is  the leakdiagnosis  pump (LDP). The function of 
the LDP  is to  pressurize the fuel  tank and the evaporative 
emission system  for the purpose of detecting leaks. 
This  system  iscapable  of detecting a 
lealcas small  as0.5  mm. 
The  LDP, located  in the  left rear wheel housing, contains  the 
following: 
Vacuum chamber. Pneumatic  pump chamber 
DME  activated vacuum  solenoid 
Reed  switch (provides switched voltage 
feedback signal  to 
DME). 
The  vacuum supply  line is in the  wiring harness from  the en- 
gine compartment  and runs  down the  driver's side of the  vehi- 
cle. 
The canister  vent valve  is 
~ntegrated into the LDP, which IS 
electrically controlled  by the  ECM.  The canister vent valve is 
opened to provide fresh air entry into  the fuel system only dur- 
ing  purge operation. 
- Purge operation characteristics: 
Off idle through full throttle:  purge  valve opened by  pulse 
width  modulated (PWM)  control of the  ECM.  PWM duty  cy- 
cle varies by engine operating conditions 
(e.g. warm  idle, 
purge  valve opened  slightly; cold 
idleldecel with engine 
temp 
< 67" C. purge  valve always closed).

Fuel Injection 
Secondary air injection,  overview 
The secondary air  system pumps  ambient air into  the exhaust 
stream  afteracoid  engine start  to reduce  the warm-up  time of 
the  catalytic converters  and to reduces  HC and CO emis- 
sions.  The ME 
7.2 ECM controls  and monitors  the secondary 
air  injection system.  The secondary air pump operates  at a 
starttemperature  of between 10°C 
(50°F) and 40°C  (104°F). 
and  continues  to operate for  a maximum of 
2 minutes  at idle 
speed. 
The  electric air pump draws  in ambient air  and supplies  it to 
the 
checlc valve.  The vacuum  vent valve (solenoid) switches 
vacuum to  open the 
checlc valve when activated by  the ECM. 
Once  opened,  the checlc 
valve allows air  to be  pumped into 
the  exhaust stream. 
4 The  secondary  air injection system consists  of the  following 
components: 
1. Secondary  air pump  relay 
2. Oxygen  sensors 
3. Catalytic converters 
4.  Electric air pump 
5. Non-return  valve 
6. Vacuum vent valve
