fuel pump FORD MUSTANG 2003 User Guide

Engines need oil to lubricate the following internal components:
zcylinder block cylinder walls
z pistons and piston, pin and rings (6102)
z intake and exhaust valve stems
z intake and exhaust valve guides
z all internal engine components
When the pistons move downward, a thin film of oil is left on the cylinder walls. As the vehicle is
operated, some oil is also drawn into the combustion chambers past the intake and exhaust valve
stem seals and burned.
The following is a partial list of conditions that can affect oil consumption rates:
zengine duty cycle
z operator driving habits
z ambient temperature
z quality and viscosity of the oil
Operation under varying conditions can frequently be misleading. A vehicle that has been run for
several thousand miles on short trips or in below- freezing ambient temperatures may have consumed
a "normal" amount of oil. However, when checking the engine oil level, it may measure up to the FULL
or MAX on the oil level dipstick due to dilution (condensation and fuel) in the engine crankcase. The
vehicle might then be driven at high speeds on the highway where the condensation and fuel boil off.
The next time the engine oil is checked, it may appear that a liter (quart) of oil was used in about 160
km (100 miles). This perceived 160 km (100 miles) per liter (quart) oil consumption rate causes
customer concern even though the actual overall oil consumption rate is about 2,400 km (1,500 miles)
per liter (quart).
Make sure the selected engine oil meets the current recommended API performance category with
SAE viscosity grade as shown in the vehicle Owner's Guide. It is also important that the engine oil is
changed at the intervals specified. Refer to the vehicle Owner's Guide.
Oil Pressure Test
1. Disconnect and remove the oil pressure sensor (9278) from the engine.
2. Connect the Oil Pressure Gauge to the oil pressure sender oil galley port.
3. Run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached.
4. Run the engine at the specified rpm and record the gauge reading.
5. The oil pressure should be within specifications; refer to the specification chart in the appropriate engine section.
6. If the pressure is not within specification, check the following possible sources: zinsufficient oil
z oil leakage
z worn or damaged oil pump
z oil pump screen cover and tube (6622)
z excessive main bearing clearance Klj . 13 ba

4. Inspect for normal burning.
zCheck for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
5. Inspect for pre- ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine damage. This may be caused by incorrect
ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized installation of a heli- coil insert in place of
the spark plug threads.
zInstall a new spark plug.
6. Inspect for overheating, identified by a white or light gray spots and with bluish- burnt
appearance of electrodes. This is caused by engine overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark
plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition
timing.

z
are positioned so that their tips direct fuel just ahead of the engine intake valves.
z are connected in series with the fuel pressure sensor.
z supply fuel from the fuel tank with a fuel pump mounted in the fuel tank.
A constant fuel pressure drop is maintained across the fuel injectors by the fuel pressure sensor. The
fuel pressure sensor:
zis positioned upstream from the fuel injectors on the fuel injection supply manifold.
Valve Train
The valve train operates as follows:
zball- tip hydraulic lash adjusters provide automatic lash adjustment.
z roller followers ride on the camshaft lobes, transferring the up-and- down motion of the
camshafts to the valves in the cylinder heads.
Positive Crankcase Ventilation System
All engines are equipped with a closed- type positive crankcase ventilation system recycling the
crankcase vapors to the upper intake manifold.
Lubrication System
The engine lubrication system operates as follows:
zoil is drawn into the oil pump through the oil pump screen cover and tube in the sump of the oil
pan.
z oil is pumped through the oil bypass filter on the left front side of the cylinder block.
z oil enters the main oil gallery where it is distributed to the crankshaft main journals and to both
cylinder heads.
z From the main journals, the oil is routed through cross- drilled passages in the crankshaft to
lubricate the connecting rod bearings. Controlled leakage through the crankshaft main bearings
and connecting rod bearings is slung radially outward to cool and lubricate the cylinder walls as
well as the entire connecting rod, piston and piston rings assembly.
z The left cylinder head is fed from a drilling into the supply passage feeding the main gallery at
the front of the cylinder block. The right cylinder head is fed from a drilling into the rear of the
main gallery. Main gallery pressure is reduced as it enters the cylinder head galleries through
fixed serviceable orifices located at the upper part of the feed passages. It is this reduced
pressure in the cylinder head galleries which feeds the camshaft journals, the hydraulic lash
adjusters and the primary and secondary timing chain tensioners.
z The camshaft lobe and roller followers are lubricated by splash created through valve train
operation.
Oil Pump
The lubrication system of the 4.6L (4V) engine is designed to provide optimum oil flow to critical
components of the engine through its entire operating range. The heart of the system is a positive
displacement internal gear oil pump using top seal rotors. Generically this design is known as a gerotor
pump, which operates as follows.
zThe oil pump is mounted on the front face of the cylinder block. Klj . 2 ba

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Intake Air Distribution and Filtering —
Supercharger,
Charge Air Cooler
The supercharger (SC) is a positive displacement pump. Its purpose is to supply an excess volume of
intake air to the engine by increasing air pressure and density in the intake manifold. The supercharger
is matched to the engine by its displacement and belt ratio, and can provide excess airflow at any
engine speed.
NOTE: The supercharger is repaired only as an assembly. Disassembly of the supercharger unit may
void the warranty.
NOTE: The supercharger is not a bolt- on option. It is part of an integrated engine system. Many
components of the supercharged engine are not interchangeable with similar parts from a non-
supercharged engine.
The supercharger contains two three- lobed rotors. The helical shape and specialized porting provide a
smooth discharge flow and low level of noise during operation. The rotors are supported by ball
bearings in front and needle bearings at the rear. The drive gears are pressed into place, therefore the
supercharger is installed new as a unit, and is not repairable.
The supercharger system is a blow- through type with the fuel injected directly into the intake ports. The
supercharger is belt driven off the crankshaft through an idler pulley. The throttle body controls the
amount of intake air to the supercharger through the intake plenum. Air from the supercharger is
routed through the charge air cooler (CAC), then to the intake manifold. The resulting denser air
charge in the combustion chamber provides for a higher power output of the engine over a non-
supercharged engine of the same displacement.
NOTE: It is not possible to increase manifold pressure or engine power output by altering the bypass
valve or the actuator.
At partial- throttle opening or when vacuum is present in the intake system, a vacuum- controlled
bypass valve reroutes some discharged air from the supercharger back through the intake plenum.
This prevents the supercharger from cavitating, causing reduced performance, increased
temperatures, and poor fuel economy.
The supercharger has a self- contained oiling system that does not require a fluid change for the life of
the vehicle. However, at every 30,000 mile interval, the supercharger fluid level should be checked.
The vehicle should be parked on a level surface, the engine cool, and not running. To check the oil,
remove the Allen head plug located at the front of the supercharger. The oil level should be at the
bottom of the fill plug threads when cold. If the fluid level is low, add Synthetic Supercharger Fluid
E9SZ- 19577- A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M99C115–A
Supercharged vehicles are equipped with a charge air cooler (CAC). The CAC cools the pressurized
air from the supercharger, increasing the air density, which improves combustion efficiency, engine
horsepower and torque. SECTION 303-
