DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Avoid application of rust prevention com-
pounds or undercoating materials to exhaust sys-
tem floor pan exhaust heat shields. Light overspray
near the edges is permitted. Application of coating
will result in excessive floor pan temperatures and
objectionable fumes.The federal gasoline engine exhaust system con-
sists of engine exhaust manifolds, exhaust pipes, cat-
alytic converter(s), extension pipe (if needed),
exhaust heat shields, muffler and exhaust tailpipe
(Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3)
The California emission vehicles exhaust system
also contains the above components as well as mini
catalytic converters added to the exhaust pipe.
The exhaust system must be properly aligned to
prevent stress, leakage and body contact. Minimum
clearance between any exhaust component and the
body or frame is 25.4 mm (1.0 in.). If the system con-
tacts any body panel, it may amplify objectionable
noises from the engine or body.

BOOST PRESSURE
NOTE: This diagnostic procedure is to be used with
the DRB IIITwhile test driving the vehicle under
normal load and driving conditions.
Low turbocharger boost pressure can cause poor
engine performance and driveability concerns. The
following procedure will test the turbocharger boost
pressure.

and intake manifold. Using the existing clamps
tighten to 8 N´m (72 in. lbs.).
(3) Install the 3447.5 kPa 500 psi (gray) Pressure
Transducer (part of OT-CH8520 Transducer Kit) into
Special Tool 8462.
