(3) Install the remaining cable housing end into
and through the dash panel opening (snaps into posi-
tion). The two plastic pinch tabs (Fig. 21) should lock
the cable to dash panel.
(4) From inside the vehicle, hold up the accelera-
tor pedal. Install the throttle cable core wire and
plastic cable retainer into and through the upper end
of the pedal arm (the plastic retainer is snapped into
the pedal arm). When installing the plastic retainer
to the accelerator pedal arm, note the index tab on
the pedal arm (Fig. 21). Align the index slot on the
plastic cable retainer to this index tab.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The 3±wire Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is
mounted on the throttle body and is connected to the
throttle blade.
OPERATION
The TPS is a 3±wire variable resistor that provides
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input
signal (voltage) that represents the throttle blade
position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected
to the throttle blade shaft. As the position of the
throttle blade changes, the resistance (output volt-
age) of the TPS changes.The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the
TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The
PCM receives an input signal voltage from the TPS.
This will vary in an approximate range of from .26
volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to 4.49 volts
at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other
sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input to determine
current engine operating conditions. In response to
engine operating conditions, the PCM will adjust fuel
injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position
of the throttle blade at all times. This information is
needed to assist in performing the following calcula-
tions:
²Ignition timing advance
²Fuel injection pulse-width
²Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
²Off-idle (0.06 volt)
²Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608
volts above learned idle voltage)
²Deceleration fuel lean out
²Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts
above learned idle voltage)
²A/C WOT cutoff (certain automatic transmis-
sions only)
REMOVAL - 3.9L/5.2L/5.9L
The TPS is located on the side of the throttle body.
(1) Remove air intake tube at throttle body.
(2) Disconnect TPS electrical connector.
(3) Remove two TPS mounting bolts (Fig. 47).

OPERATION
WARNING: HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LINES DELIVER
DIESEL FUEL UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE FROM
THE INJECTION PUMP TO THE FUEL INJECTORS.
THIS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 120,000 KPA (17,405
PSI). USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING
FOR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. INSPECT FOR
HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF
CARDBOARD. HIGH FUEL INJECTION PRESSURE
CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF CONTACT IS
MADE WITH THE SKIN.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIR IN FUEL
SYSTEM
Air will enter the fuel system whenever fuel supply
lines, separator filters, injection pump, high-pressure
lines or injectors are removed or disconnected. Air
trapped in the fuel system can result in hard start-
ing, a rough running engine, engine misfire, low
power, excessive smoke and fuel knock. After service
is performed, air must be bled from the system
before starting the engine.Inspect the fuel system from the fuel transfer
pump to the injectors for loose connections. Leaking
fuel is an indicator of loose connections or defective
seals. Air can also enter the fuel system between the
fuel tank and the transfer pump. Inspect the fuel
tank and fuel lines for damage that might allow air
into the system.
For air bleeding, refer to the Air Bleed Procedure.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL SUPPLY
RESTRICTIONS
LOW-PRESSURE LINES
Fuel supply line restrictions or a defective fuel
transfer pump can cause starting problems and pre-
vent engine from accelerating. The starting problems
include; low power and/or white fog like exhaust.
Test all fuel supply lines for restrictions or block-
age. Flush or replace as necessary. Bleed fuel system
of air once a fuel supply line has been replaced. Refer
to Air Bleed Procedure for procedures.
To test for fuel line restrictions, a vacuum restric-
tion test may be performed. Refer to Fuel Transfer
Pump Pressure Test.
HIGH-PRESSURE LINES
Restricted (kinked or bent) high-pressure lines can
cause starting problems, poor engine performance,
engine mis-fire and white smoke from exhaust.
Examine all high-pressure lines for any damage.
Each radius on each high-pressure line must be
smooth and free of any bends or kinks.
Replace damaged, restricted or leaking high-pres-
sure fuel lines with correct replacement line.
CAUTION: All high-pressure fuel lines must be
clamped securely in place in holders. Lines cannot
contact each other or other components. Do not
attempt to weld high-pressure fuel lines or to repair
lines that are damaged. If line is kinked or bent, it
must be replaced. Use only recommended lines
when replacement of high-pressure fuel line is nec-
essary.

FUEL HEATER
DESCRIPTION
The fuel heater assembly is located on the side of
the fuel filter housing (Fig. 9).
The heater/element assembly is equipped with a
temperature sensor (thermostat) that senses fuel
temperature. This sensor is attached to the fuel heat-
er/element assembly.
OPERATION
The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from
waxing during cold weather operation.
When the temperature is below 4568 degrees F,
the temperature sensor allows current to flow to the
heater element warming the fuel. When the temper-
ature is above 7568 degrees F, the sensor stops cur-
rent flow to the heater element.
Battery voltage to operate the fuel heater element
is supplied from the ignition switch and through the
fuel heater relay. Also refer to Fuel Heater Relay.
The fuel heater element and fuel heater relay
are not computer controlled.
The heater element operates on 12 volts, 300 watts
at 0 degrees F.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL HEATER
The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from
waxing during cold weather operation.
NOTE: The fuel heater element, fuel heater relay
and fuel heater temperature sensor are not con-
trolled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
A malfunctioning fuel heater can cause a wax
build-up in the fuel filter/water separator. Wax
build-up in the filter/separator can cause engine
starting problems and prevent the engine from rev-
ving up. It can also cause blue or white fog-like
exhaust. If the heater is not operating in cold tem-
peratures, the engine may not operate due to fuel
waxing.
The fuel heater assembly is located on the side of
the fuel filter housing (Fig. 10).
The heater assembly is equipped with a built-in
fuel temperature sensor (thermostat) that senses fuel
temperature. When fuel temperature drops below 45
degrees68 degrees F, the sensor allows current to
flow to the built-in heater element to warm the fuel.
When fuel temperature rises above 75 degrees68
degrees F, the sensor stops current flow to the heater
element (circuit is open).

CAUTION: To prevent pump/gear keyway from fall-
ing into gear housing, engine must be rotated until
keyway is at 12 o'clock position (Fig. 27). If gear
retainer nut, washer or key drops into gear housing,
cover may have to be removed to retrieve them
before engine is started.
