TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: To trouble shoot mechanical engine components, see
appropriate table in TROUBLE SHOOTING article in GENERAL
INFORMATION.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory
systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist
until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See
COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION
before disconnecting battery.
NOTE: For installation reference, label all electrical connectors,
vacuum hoses and fuel lines before removal. Also place mating
marks on engine hood and other major assemblies before
removal.
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE
CAUTION: Fuel system is under pressure. Pressure must be released
before servicing fuel system components.
Gasoline
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Loosen fuel tank cap to
release tank pressure. Press on filler tube flap to relieve any
additional tank pressure.
NOTE: Fuel filler tube has spring-loaded flap located below fuel
fill cap to serve as secondary seal if fuel fill cap is not
tightened. It is part of EVAP monitor system when vehicle is
equipped with leak detection pump (LDP). Vehicle may be
equipped with flap installed into fuel filler tube even if
vehicle is NOT equipped with LDP and EVAP monitor system.
2) Remove fuel pump relay from Power Distribution Center
(PDC). For location of relay, refer to label on underside of PDC
cover. Start and run engine until it stalls. Attempt restarting engine
until it will no longer run.
3) Unplug connector from an injector. Attach one end of a
jumper wire (18 gauge or smaller) with alligator clips to either
injector terminal. Connect other end of jumper wire to positive side
of battery. Connect one end of a second jumper wire to remaining
injector terminal.
WARNING: Powering an injector for more than a few seconds will
permanently damage injector.
4) Touch other end of second jumper wire to negative terminal
of battery for no more than a few seconds. Place a rag below fuel
line. Disconnect quick-connect fitting at fuel rail. See FUEL LINE
DISCONNECT FITTINGS. Return fuel pump relay to PDC.
Compressed Natural Gas Fuel Tube Purging (5.2L)
1) Close control valve (clockwise) on all fuel cylinders.
Open manual shutoff valve (open when handle is parallel to fuel
tubes).
2) Start and operate engine until it runs out of fuel.
Attempt 3 more engine starts. If check valve or fuel fill receptacle

ENGINE
Removal (Ram Van/Wagon)
1) Release fuel pressure. See FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE.
Disconnect negative battery cable. Drain cooling system and engine
oil. Remove and discard oil filter.
2) Remove engine cover, air cleaner and oil dipstick.
Discharge A/C system (if equipped) using approved refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment. Disconnect A/C lines at condenser, and
plug openings. Remove A/C compressor. Disconnect fan shroud.
3) Remove front bumper, grille and support brace. Disconnect
coolant hoses. Remove radiator, condenser and support as an assembly.
4) Remove upper fan shroud. Remove power steering pump with
hoses attached, and set aside. Remove air pump, spark plug wires and
distributor cap. Disconnect necessary electrical wiring, coolant hoses
and vacuum hoses. Disconnect fuel lines. See FUEL LINE DISCONNECT

Engine pre-oiling can be done using pressure oiler (if
available). Connect pressure oiler to cylinder block oil passage
such as oil pressure sending unit. Operate pressure oiler long enough
to ensure correct amount of oil has filled crankcase. Check oil level
while pre-oiling.
If pressure oiler is not available, disconnect ignition
system. Remove oil pressure sending unit and replace with oil pressure
test gauge. Using starter motor, rotate engine starter until gauge
shows normal oil pressure for several seconds. DO NOT crank engine
for more than 30 seconds to avoid starter motor damage.
Ensure oil pressure has reached the most distant point from
the oil pump. Reinstall oil pressure sending unit. Reconnect ignition
system.
INITIAL START-UP
Start the engine and operate engine at low speed while
checking for coolant, fuel and oil leaks. Stop engine. Recheck coolant
and oil level. Adjust if necessary.
CAMSHAFT
Break-in procedure is required when a new or reground
camshaft has been installed. Operate and maintain engine speed between
1500-2500 RPM for approximately 30 minutes. Procedure may vary due to
manufacturers recommendations.
PISTON RINGS
Piston rings require a break-in procedure to ensure seating
of rings to cylinder walls. Serious damage may occur to rings if
correct procedures are not followed.
Extremely high piston ring temperatures are produced obtained
during break-in process. If rings are exposed to excessively high RPM
or high cylinder pressures, ring damage can occur. Follow piston ring
manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure.
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Check or adjust ignition timing and dwell (if applicable).
Adjust valves (if necessary). Adjust carburetion or injection idle
speed and mixture. Retighten cylinder heads (if required). If
cylinder head or block is aluminum, retighten bolts when engine is
cold. Follow the engine manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure
and maintenance schedule for new engines.
NOTE: Some manufacturer's require that head bolts be retightened
after specified amount of operation. This must be done to
prevent head gasket failure.
