6E–276 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
• Oil in the combustion chamber.
• The spark plug gap is not set correctly.
If spark plug fouling is excessive, check the fuel and al
system for possible causes of trouble. If fuel and al
system are normal, install spark plugs of a higher heat
range which have the same physical dimensions as the
original equipment spark plugs.
The following symptoms are characteristics of spark
plugs that are running too hot:
• Fuel mixture is too lean.
• Heat range is incorrect.
If vehicle usage does not conform to normal driving
conditions, a more suitable spark plug may be
substituted.
If fuel and al system are normal, in most cases of this
sort, the problem can be corrected by using a colder
type spark plug with the same physical dimensions as
the original equipment spark plug.
3. Check the gaskets for damage and replace if necessary.
4. Measure the spark plug gap. The specification is 1.0 to 1.1mm (0.039 to 0.043").
5. Adjust the spark gap by bending the grounded electrode. Installation
1. Tighten the spark plug to the 25N·m (2.5kgf·m).
2. Push the spark plug cable in until it snaps in.
Installation Procedure 1. Install the spark plug to the cylinder head.
2. Tighten the spark plug with specified tightening torque.
Tightening Torque
• Bolt: 25N·m (2.5kgf·m) 3. Connect the spark plug cable to the spark plug.

ENGINE EXHAUST 6F-3





























W hen inspecting or replacing exhaust system components,
make sure there is adequate clearance from all points on the
underbody to prevent overheating the floor pan and possible
damage to the passenger compartment insulation and trim
materials.
Check complete exhaust system and nearby body areas and
rear compartment lid for broken, damaged, missing or
mispositioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or
other deterioration which could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the rear compartment or passenger compartment. Dust or
water in the rear compartment may be an indication of a
problem in one of these areas. Any faulty areas should be
corrected immediately.
Hangers
Various types of hangers are used to support exhaust
system(s). These include conventional rubber straps, rubber
rings, and rubber blocks.
The installation of exhaust system supports is very important,
as improperly installed supports can cause annoying vibrations
which can be difficult to diagnose.
Three Way Catalytic Converter (If applicable)
The three way catalytic converter is an emission control device
added to the exhaust system to reduce pollutants from the
exhaust gas stream.

CAUTION: The catalytic converter requires the use of
unleaded fuel only.
Periodic maintenance of the exhaust system is not required. If
the vehicle is raised for other service, it is advisable to check
the condition of the complete exhaust system.
A dual bed monolith catalytic converter is used in combination
with three way catalytic converter.
Catalytic Types:
Three way (Reduction/Oxidation) catalyst
The catalyst coating on the three way (reduction) converter
contains platinum and rhodium which lowers the levels of
nitrous oxide (NOx) as well as hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon
monoxide (Co).
Gasket
The gasket must be replaced whenever a new exhaust pipe,
muffler or catalytic converter is installed.

Fuel System – V6 Page 6C – 3

1 General Information
Description
Fuel is injected into the engine by separate fuel injectors that are mounted in the intake manifold (common chamber).
Fuel is supplied to the injectors under pressure from the fuel tank through the fuel lines and the fuel rail, which is
attached to the top of the common chamber.

A fuel pressure control valve is installed on the fuel rail to maintain fuel line pressure across the injectors under all
operating conditions. Fuel pressure is maintained by controlling the amount of fuel that is supplied from the fuel tank,
based on the demand of the engine via the engine control module (ECM).

Two interchangeable “O” rings are used on the fuel injector and must be replaced when the injectors are removed.
The Multiport Fuel Injection system utilizes an injection system where the injectors turn on at every crankshaft revolution.
The ECM controls the injector on time so that the correct amount of fuel is metered depending on driving conditions.
The V6 engine is designed to use only unleaded petrol.

Unleaded petrol must be used for correct emission control system operation and its use will also minimize spark plug
fouling and extend engine oil life.

Using leaded petrol can damage the emission control system and could void the vehicle warranty. All vehicles are
equipped with an Evaporative Emission Control System. The purpose of the system is to minimize the escape of fuel
vapours into the atmosphere.
Service Precautions
• Use extreme care when working on the fuel system and follow all safety precautions.
• W hen working on the fuel system, disconnect the battery ground cable except for tests where battery voltage is
required.
• Always keep a dry chemical (class B) fire extinguisher near the work area.
• Relace all fuel lines and fittings with the same type of line and fitting as those removed.
• Clean and inspect “O” rings carefully and replace if required.
• Always depressurize the fuel lines before servicing any fuel system components.
• Do not attempt any repairs on the fuel system until, all warnings and instructions, relating to that repair have been
read and ensure all notices and cautions are adhered to.
• Do not allow any naked frames or sparks near the work area when working on the fuel system.
• If draining of the fuel system is required, this should be done in a well ventilated area.
• Protect the fuel lines and associated parts from thermal damage, spattering when welding.

4.8 Fuel Filler Cap
The fuel filler cap is a 'screw on' type, with an integrated tightening torque limiting mechanism. W hen installing the fuel
filler cap, tighten it until a ratcheting (clicking) sound is audible, indicating the fuel filler cap is properly tightened. Th e fuel
filler cap is tethered to the fuel filler pocket.
Remove
The fuel filler cap requires a quarter of a turn anticlockwise to be removed.
Vacuum and pressure valves are built into the fuel filler cap
which regulate the pressure in the fuel tank and prevent fuel
tank and system damage.
Inspection
Inspect the fuel filler cap and seal for any signs of damage.
Replace the fuel filler cap if found to be defective.
1 Pressure Valve
2 Vacuum Valve
3 Seal Ring

A replacement fuel filler cap must be the
same type as the original. The fuel filler cap
pressure and vacuum valves are specific to a
particular application and must be replaced
with the same type or fuel system damage
may occur.
Figure 6C – 36

If the fuel filler cap needs replacing, use only
a 'screw on' fuel tank filler cap with an
integrated tightening torque limiting
mechanism. Failure to use the correct fuel
tank filler cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the emission control or fuel
system.
1 Untwist and remove the fuel filler cap (2) from the fuel filler neck opening.
2 Cover the fuel filler opening with a suitable material to prevent foreign objects from entering the fuel tank.
3 To remove the fuel filler cap tether line use a flat- bladed screwdriver to prise the tether line fastener (2)
from it’s mounting hole.
NOTE
Check the fuel filler cap for serviceability and
replace if required.

4.13 Fuel Rail Assembly
The fuel rail assembly is mounted on the lower intake
manifold and distributes the fuel to each cylinder through
individual fuel injectors. The fuel rail assembly consists of:
• the pipe that carries fuel to each injector,
• a fuel pressure test port,
• six individual fuel injectors,
• wiring harness, and
• wiring harness tray.
Figure 6C1-1 – 31
4.14 Heated Oxygen Sensors
The heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are mounted in the exhaust system and enable the ECM to measure oxygen
content in the exhaust stream. The ECM uses this information to accurately control the air / fuel ratio, because the
oxygen content in the exhaust gas is indicative of the air / fuel ratio of engine combustion.
W hen the sensor is cold, it produces little or no signal voltage, therefore the ECM only reads the HO2S signal when the
HO2S sensor is warm. As soon as the HO2S are warm and outputting a usable signal, the ECM begins making fuel
mixture adjustments based on the HO2S signals. This is known as closed loop mode.
The HFV6 engine has four HO2S, one LSU 4.2 wide-band planar type HO2S upstream of the catalytic converter in each
exhaust pipe, and one LSF 4.2 two-step planar type HO2S in each exhaust pipe downstream of the catalytic converter.
LSF 4.2 Two-step Planar Heated Oxygen Sensors
The LSF 4.2 two-step planar heated oxygen sensors have
four wires:
• The internal heater element supply, which has 12 V
continually applied whenever the ignition is on.
• Heater element ground – The ECM applies pulse
width modulated (PW M) ground to the HO2S heater
control circuit to control the rate at which the sensor
heats up. This reduces the risk of the sensor being
damaged from heating up too quickly under certain
conditions such as extreme cold temperatures. Once
the sensor has reached the desired operating
temperature, the ECM will monitor and continue to
maintain the sensor temperature.
• Sensor signal to the ECM.
• Sensor ground.
