IGNITION SYSTEM
NOTE: The 2.4, 3.0 and 3.3/3.8L engines use a fixed
ignition timing system. Basic ignition timing is not
adjustable. All spark advance is determined by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The distributorless ignition system used on 2.4 and
3.3/3.8L engines is refered to as the Direct Ignition
System (DIS). The system's three main components
are the coil pack, crankshaft position sensor, and
camshaft position sensor. The crankshaft position
sensor and camshaft position sensor are hall effect
devices.
The 3.0L engine uses a distributor, crankshaft sen-
sor and ignition coil. The system's main components
are the distributor, distributor pickup, camshaft sig-
nal, crankshaft signal and ignition coil.
SPARK PLUGSÐ2.4/3.0L
All engines use resistor spark plugs. They have
resistance values ranging from 6,000 to 20,000 ohms
when checked with at least a 1000 volt spark plug
tester.Do not use an ohm meter to check the resis-
tance of the spark plugs. This will give an inac-
curate reading.
Remove the spark plugs and examine them for
burned electrodes and fouled, cracked or broken por-
celain insulators. Keep plugs arranged in the order
in which they were removed from the engine. An iso-
lated plug displaying an abnormal condition indicates
that a problem exists in the corresponding cylinder.
Replace spark plugs at the intervals recommended in
Group O - Lubrication and Maintenance.
Spark plugs that have low mileage may be cleaned
and reused if not otherwise defective, carbon or oil
fouled. Refer to the Spark Plug Condition section of
this group. After cleaning, file the center electrode
flat with a small flat point file or jewelers file. Adjust
the gap between the electrodes (Fig. 2) to the dimen-
sions specified in the chart at the end of this section.
Special care should be used when installing spark
plugs in the 2.4L cylinder head spark plug wells. Be
sure the plugs do not drop into the wells, damage to
the electrodes can occur.
Always tighten spark plugs to the specified torque.
Over tightening can cause distortion resulting in a
change in the spark plug gap. Overtightening can
also damage the cylinder head. Tighten spark plugs
to 28 N´m (20 ft. lbs.) torque.SPARK PLUGSÐ3.3/3.8L
The 3.3/3.8L engines utilize platinum spark plugs.
Refer to the maintenance schedule in Group 0 of this
service manual.

GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)

engine is operating, the smaller the pulse width on
the oscilloscope.
By counting the pulses and referencing the pulse
from the 60 degree signature notch, the PCM calcu-
lates crankshaft angle (position). In each group of
timing reference notches, the first notch represents
69 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). The sec-
ond notch represents 49 degrees BTDC. The third
notch represents 29 degrees. The last notch in each
set represents 9 degrees before top dead center
(TDC).
The timing reference notches are machined to a
uniform width representing 13.6 degrees of crank-
shaft rotation. From the voltage pulse width the
PCM tells the difference between the timing refer-
ence notches and the 60 degree signature notch. The
60 degree signature notch produces a longer pulse
width than the smaller timing reference notches. If
the camshaft position sensor input switches from
high to low when the 60 degree signature notch
passes under the crankshaft position sensor, the
PCM knows cylinder number one is the next cylinder
at TDC.
The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the
engine block behind the generator, near the oil filter
(Fig. 8).
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization
and cylinder identification from inputs provided by
the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position
sensor. From the two inputs, the PCM determines
crankshaft position.The camshaft position sensor attaches to the rear
of the cylinder head (Fig. 2). A target magnet
attaches to the rear of the camshaft and indexes to
the correct position (Fig. 3). The target magnet has
four different poles arranged in an asymmetrical pat-
tern. As the target magnet rotates, the camshaft
position sensor senses the change in polarity (Fig. 4).
The sensor output switch switches from high (5.0
volts) to low (0.30 volts) as the target magnet rotates.
When the north pole of the target magnet passes
under the sensor, the output switches high. The sen-
sor output switches low when the south pole of the
target magnet passes underneath.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORÐ2.4L
The intake air temperature sensor measures the
temperature of the air as it enters the engine. The
sensor supplies one of the inputs the PCM uses to
determine injector pulse width and spark advance.
The intake air temperature sensor threads into the
intake manifold (Fig. 5).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
FIRING ORDERÐ3.0L
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR
The MAP sensor reacts to absolute pressure in the
intake manifold and provides an input voltage to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). As engine load
changes, manifold pressure varies. The changes in
engine load cause the MAP sensors resistance to
change. The change in MAP sensor resistance results
in a different input voltage to the PCM.
The input voltage level supplies the PCM with
information relating to ambient barometric pressure
during engine start-up (cranking) and engine load
while its operating. Based on MAP sensor voltage
and inputs from other sensors, the PCM adjusts
spark advance and the air-fuel mixture.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization
and cylinder identification from inputs provided by
the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position
sensor. From the two inputs, the PCM determines
crankshaft position.
The 3.0L engine is equipped with a camshaft
driven mechanical distributor, containing a shaft
driven distributor rotor. The distributor is also
equipped with an internal camshaft position (fuel
sync) sensor (Fig. 1). This sensor provides fuel injec-
tion synchronization and cylinder identification to
the PCM.
The camshaft position sensor contains a hall effect
device callled a sync signal generator. This sync sig-
nal generator detects a rotating pulse ring (shutter)
on the distributor shaft. The pulse ring rotates 180
through the sync signal generator. Its signal is used
in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to
differentiate between fuel injection and spark events.
It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with
their respective cylinders.
When the leading edge of the shutter enters the
sync signal generator, the interruption of magnetic
field causes the voltage to switch high. This causes a
sync signal of approximately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the shutter leaves the
sync signal generator, the change of magnetic field
causes the sync signal voltage to switch low to 0
volts.
Since the shutter rotates at half crankshaft speed,
it may take 1 engine revolution during cranking for
the PCM to determine the position of piston number
6.
