Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
A "Scan tool" displays engine temperature in degrees
centigrade. After engine is started, the temperature
should rise steadily to about 90°C then stabilize when
thermostat opens. If the engine has not been run for
several hours (overnight), the engine coolant
temperature (ECT) and intake air temperature (IAT)
readings should be close to each other. A fault in the
ECT sensor circuit should set a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) 14. The DTC charts also contain a chart to check
for sensor resistance values relative to temperature.
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
A "Scan tool" displays temperature of the air entering
the engine and
should read close to ambient air
temperature when engine
is cold, and rise as under
hood temperature increases.
If the engine has not
been run for several hours (overnight), the IAT sensor
temperature and
ECT readings should be close to each
other. A
failure in the IAT sensor circuit should set a
DTC 23. The DTC charts also contain a chart to check
for sensor resistance values relative to temperature.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S)
The "Scan tool" has several positions that will indicate
the state
of the exhaust gases, Oxygen voltage,
integrator, and block learn. See "Scan tool" position
information in
"Introduction", "Driveability and
Emission," in this section.
A
problem in the oxygen sensor circuit, or fuel system,
should set a DTC 13 (open circuit), DTC 44 (lean
indication)/DTC 45 (rich indication). Refer to
applicable chart, if any of these DTC(s) were stored in
memory.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
A "Scan tool" displays throttle position in volts. On 3.2L
engine, Throttle position
(TP) sensor voltage should
read below 0.85 volts, with throttle closed and ignition
"ON", or at idle. Voltage should increase at a steady
rate
as throttle is moved toward wide open throttle.
The Engine
Control Module (ECM) has the ability to
auto-zero the TP sensor voltage if it is below about 0.85
volts. This means that any voltage less than 0.85 volts
will
be determined by the ECM to be 0% throttle.
Some
"Scan tools" have the ability to read the throttle
angle and should read 0%, when the throttle is closed.
A failure in the TP sensor or circuit should set a DTC 21.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
"Scan tool" displays manifold pressure in volts. Low
pressure (high vacuum) reads a
low voltage, while a
high pressure
(low vacuum) reads a high voltage. A
failure in the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
circuit
should set a DTC 33 and using the chart will find
the cause
of the problem. A DTC 33 may be set if a
rough or unstable
idle exists. CHART C-1 D can also be
used
to check MAP sensor.
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
A "Scan tool" reading should closely match with
speedometer reading with drive wheels turning. A
failure in the vehicle speed sensor circuit should set a
DTC 24.
AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) Request Signal
When air conditioning in "ON", the "Scan tool" should
indicate air conditioning "ON".
See
"Air Conditioning Compressor Clutch Control
System",
Section "6E2-C1 0" for A/C electrical system
diagnosis.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
A "Scan tool" should read "OFF" normally, and "ON"
with high pressure. This reading may vary with
different "Scan tools". Refer to CHART C-1 E for power
steering pressure switch diagnosis.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Reference Signal
The ignition control module sends a signal to the ECM,
which is used to calculate proper spark advance and
fuel delivery. A "Scan tool" will read this signal and is
displayed in revolution per minute.
See "Electronic
Ignition System",
Section "6E2-C-4" for more
information on the ignition system (ignition control).
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch
A "Scan tool" should read park/neutral position when
in park, or neutral, and R-D, L, when in drive or
overdrive. This reading may vary with different makes
of tools. Refer to CHART C-1 A for park/neutral position
switch diagnosis.
Knock Sensor (KS)
A "Scan tool" will indicate when the knock sensor
module signals the ECM that knock is present. See
"Knock
Sensor System," Section "6E2-C5" for further
information on the knock sensor system.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
The ECM is programmed from the factory and has no replaceable calibration chip.

wcAUTION:
' • When replacing the production Engine Control
Module
(ECM) with a service ECM (controller),
it is important to transfer the broadcast
diagnostic
trouble code and production ECM
number to the service ECM label. Please do not
record on ECM cover. This will allow positive
identification
of ECM parts throughout the
service
life of the vehicle.

MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) OUTPUT CHECK
Circuit Description:
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake MAP which result
from engine load
(intake manifold vacuum) and revolution per minute changes; and converts these into a voltage output. The
Engine
Control Module (ECM) sends a 5-volt reference voltage to the MAP sensor. As the MAP changes, the
output voltage of the sensor also changes. By monitoring the sensor output voltage, the ECM knows the MAP. A
lower pressure (low voltage)
output voltage will be about 1 - 2 volts at idle. While higher pressure (high voltage)
output voltage
will be about 4-4.8 at Wide Open Throttle. The MAP sensor is also used, under certain conditions,
to measure barometric pressure,
allowing the ECM to make adjustment for different altitudes. The ECM uses the
MAP sensor
to control fuel delivery and ignition timing.
Test Description:

MODES OF OPERATION
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses voltage inputs
from several sensors to determine how much fuel to
give the engine. The fuel is delivered under one of
several conditions, called "modes". All the modes are
controlled by the ECM and are described below.
Starting Mode
When the ignition is first turned "ON", the ECM turns
"ON" the fuel pump relay for two seconds, and the fuel
pump builds up pressure. The ECM also checks the
Engine
Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and the
Throttle Position Sensor, and the determines the
proper
air/fuel ratio for starting. This ranges from 1.5:1
-36·c (-33.F) to 14.7:1, at 94•c (201.F) ECT.
The ECM controls the amount of fuel delivered in the
starting mode by changing
how long the injector is
turned
"ON" and "OFF". The is done by "Pulsing" the
injectors
for very short times.
Clear Flood Mode
If the engine floods, it may be cleared by pushing the
accelerator pedal down all the way. The ECM then will
fixed air/fuel ratio 16.5:1. The ECM holds this injector
rate
as long as the throttle stays wide open. If the
throttle position becomes less than approximately
70%, the ECM returns to the starting mode.
Run Mode
The run mode has two conditions called "Open Loop"
and "Closed Loop"
"Open Loop"
When the engine is first started, and it is above 500
Rovolution Per Minute (rpm), the system goes into
"Open Loop" operation. IN "Open Loop," the ECM
ignores the signal from the heated oxygen sensor
(H02S), and calculates the air/fuel ratio based on
inputs
from the ECT sensor and manifold absolute
pressure sensors.
The system stays in
"Open Loop" until the following
conditions are met:
1. The H02S has varying voltage output, showing
that
it is hot enough to operate properly. (This
depends on temperature.)
2. The ECT sensor is above a specified temperature.
3. A specific amount of time has elapsed after
starting the engine.
"Closed Loop"
The specific values for the above conditions vary with
different engines, and are stored in the ECM. When
these conditions are met, the system goes into
"Closed
Loop"
operation. In "Closed Loop", the ECM calculates
the air/fuel ratio (injector on-time) based on the signal
from the H02S. This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay
very close to 14.7:1.
DRIVEABILITV AND EMISSIONS 6E2-117
Acceleration Mode
The ECM responds to rapid changes in throttle position
and air
flow, and provides extra fuel.
Deceleration Mode
The ECM responds to changes in throttle position and
air
flow, and reduces the amount of fuel. When
deceleration is very fast, the ECM can cut off fuel
completely
for short periods.
Battery Positive Voltage Correction Mode
When battery positive voltage is low, the ECM can
compensate
for a weak spark delivered by the ignition
control module by:
• Increasing injector pulse width.
• Increasing the idle rpm.
• Increasing ignition dwell time.
Fuel Cutoff Mode
The fuel injectors are shut "OFF" if engine speed
"exceed" 6880 rpm (DOHC) or6800 rpm (SOHC). This is
to prevent damage to engine. When engine speed is
below 6880 rpm (DOHC) or 6800 rpm (SOHC), the fuel
injectors are again pulsed at a normal mode.

FUEL INJECTORS
The multipart fuel injection injector assembly is a
solenoid-operated device, controlled
by the Engine
Control Module (ECM), that meters pressurized fuel to
a single engine cylinder.
The
ECM energizes the low impedance (2.0 ohms) for
DOHC or High impedance (12.2 ohms) for SOHC
solenoid to a normally closed ball valve. This allows
fuel
to flow into the top of the injector, past the ball
valve, and through a recessed
flow director plate at the
injector outlet (Fig. 6E2-71). The director plate has six
machined holes
that control the fuel flow, generating a
conical spray pattern
of finely atomized fuel at the
injector tip. Fuel
from the tip is directed at the intake
valve, causing
it to become further atomized and
vaporized before entering the combustion chamber.
An injector which is stuck partially open
would cause a
loss
of pressure after engine shut down. Also, an
extended crank times would be noticed on some
engines. Dieseling could also
occ!Jr because some fuel
could be delivered
to the engine after the ignition is
turned
"OFF".
FUEL INJECTOR DRIVER OPERATION
The method of turning the Fuel Injectors "ON" and
"OFF" is called a "Peak" and "Hold" Driver System.
The
ECM uses a transistor to "Peak" Injector to open it.
A second set
of Injector Drivers will "Hold" the Injectors
open for the calculated pulse width. The ECM has three
(3) Injector Drivers, they are labeled A, 8, and C inside
the
ECM. Injector Driver "A" is used to open the Injector
initially (Peak) and depending on available battery
positive voltage
Injector Drive "8" or "C" is used to
"Hold" the Injector for the amount of time necessary to
inject the proper amount of fuel into the cylinder. A
resistor module in part
of the Injector Driver circuits to
protect the Injector Drivers from high current (amps). If
one of the Driver circuits become "Open" the vehicle
will
not start. Diagnosis of the Injector driver circuits
are done
with Chart A-3 "Cranks But Won't Run" chart
in
SECTION 6E2-A of this service manual.
FUEL PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE
ASSEMBLY
The fuel pressure control valve is a diaphragm­
operated relief valve
with fuel pump pressure on one
side and regulator spring pressure and intake manifold
absolute pressure on the other (Fig. 6E2-72).
The function
of the regulator is to maintain a constant
pressure differential across the injectors at all times.
The fuel pressure control valve compensates
for
engine load by increasing fuel pressure as engine
vacuum drops.
The fuel pressure control valve is mounted at the end
ofthe fuel rail, and is serviced as a complete assembly.
The system operates in
an acceptable pressure range
of 280 to 320 kPa (41 to 46 psi) with engine running.
If the pressure is too low, poor performance and a
DRIVEABILITV AND EMISSIONS 6E2-119
diagnostic trouble code 44 could result. If the pressure
is too high, excess odor and a diagnostic trouble code
45 could result.
CHART A-7 has information on diagnosing fuel
pressure conditions.

THROTTLE BODY (TB) ASSEMBLY
The Throttle Body (TB) assembly is attached to the
intake manifold air
plenum, and is used to control air
flow into the engine, thereby controlling engine output
(Fig. 6E2-73). The TB within the TB is opened by the
driver through the accelerator controls. During engine
idle, the
TB is almost closed, and air flow control is
handled by the Idle Air Control (lAC) valve, described
below. To prevent
TB icing during cool weather
operation, engine
coolant is directed through a engine
coolant tube, part
of the TB, the engine coolant then
circulates through internal passageways around the
throttle bore and returns via the return engine coolant
tube.
The
TB also provides the location for mounting the
Throttle Position
Sensor. Vacuum ports the located at,
above or
below the throttle body to generate vacuum
signal needed
by various components.
Idle Air Control (lAC) Valve
Engine idle speed is controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM) through the Idle Air Control (lAC) valve
mounted on the
TB. The ECM sends voltage pulses to
the lAC motor windings causing the lAC valve pintle to
move "IN" or "OUT" a given distance (a step or count)
for each pulse. The pintle movement controls the
airflow around the TBs, which in turn, controls engine
idle speed.
• The "controlled" or desired idle speed for all
engine operating conditions is programmed into
the
calibration of the ECM. The programmed
engine speeds are based on engine coolant
temperature, park/neutral position switch status,
vehicle speed, battery positive voltage, and air
conditioning pressure (if equipped).
• The ECM "learns" the proper lAC valve positions to
achieve warm, stabilized idle speeds (revolution
per minute), desired
for the various conditions
(Park/Neutral position
or Drive, air conditioning
"ON" or "OFF", if equipped). This information is
stored in
ECM "Keep Alive" memories
(information
is retained after ignition is "OFF"). All
other lAC valve positioning is calculated based on
these
memory values.
As a
result, engine variations due to wear and
variations in
minimum TB position (within limits)
do not affect engine idle speeds. This system
provides correct idle control under
all conditions.
This also means
that disconnecting power to the
ECM can result in incorrect idle control or
necessity to partially depress the accelerator
pedal
when starting until the ECM relearns idle
control. Refer to note regarding clearing
memory
in "ECM and Sensors," Section "6E2-C1 ".
•
Engine idle speed is a function of total airflow into
the engine based on
lAC valve pintle position plus
TB opening plus calibrated vacuum loss through
accessories.
• The minimum TB position is set at the factory with
a stop screw. This setting allows enough air flow
by the TB to cause the lAC valve pintle to be
positioned a calibrated
number of steps (counts),
from the seat, during "controlled" idle operation.
The
minimum TB position setting on this engine
should not be considered the
"minimum idle
speed", as on other fuel injected engines. The
throttle stop
screw is covered with a plug at the
factory
following adjustment.
U7 CAUTION:
VI Do not attempt to remove the protective cap and
readjust the stop screw before
reviewi~g t~e
"Minimum TB Position Check", later m th1s
section. Misadjustment may result in damage to
the lAC valve or TB.
Fig. 6E2-73
2. Throttle body assembly
3. Throttle position sensor (TPS)
• The ECM normally resets the lAC valve pintle
position once during each ignition cycle,
when
vehicle speed increases above 35 miles per hour
on moderate acceleration. During the reset, the
ECM commands the lAC valve pintle to retract
completely, then move
"IN" to the seated position
(to establish the zero
count position), and then
back
out to the desired position. If, after the reset,
the
ECM is able to control the idle speed within the
calibrated count range, the
lAC valve will not be
reset again until the ignition has been turned
"OFF", the engine restarted and the car then
driven above 35 mile per hour.
If the ECM is not
able to control idle speed within the calibrated
count range after the first reset, the
ECM assumes
the
lAC valve pintle position is "lost", and enables
another reset
to occur. This will continue until the
pintle position is relearned.
• If the lAC valve is suspected as being the cause of
improper idle speed, perform a functional check of
the lAC valve (CHART C-2C) as described later in
this section.
-----------------------------'
•

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (TP) Sensor is mounted on the
side
of the throttle body opposite the throttle lever
assembly.
Its function is to sense the current throttle
body position and relay that information to the ECM.
Knowledge ofTP is needed by the ECM to generate the
proper injector pulse width.
If the TP sensor senses a
Wide
Open Throttle, a voltage signal indicating this
condition is transmitted to the
ECM. The ECM will
widen the injector pulse, or increase the repetition rate,
permitting increased fuel
flow to each for the six fuel
injectors located in the fuel fail. As the throttle shaft
rotates in response to
movement of the accelerator
pedal (opening
or closing of the throttle body), the
throttle shaft transmits throttle
movement to the TP
sensor. A potentiometer (variable resistor) within the
TP sensor assembly creates a voltage that varies in
response to
TP. By applying a reference voltage (+5
VDC) to the TP sensor input, a varying voltage
(reflecting
TP) is available at the TP sensor output. The
voltage
output from the TP sensor is sent to the ECM
for use in determining current TP.
For further information ofTP sensor, refer to "ECM and
Sensors", Section
"6E2-C1 ". The TP sensor is an auto
zeroing type and cannot
be adjusted.

DIAGNOSIS
FUEL METERING SYSTEM
Some failures of this system will result in the symptom,
"Engine Cranks But Will Not Run". If this condition
exists, see CHART A-3. This chart will determine
if the
problem is caused by the ignition system,
ECM or fuel
pump circuit.
If it's determined to be a fuel problem.
CHART A-5
or A-7 will be used. This includes the
injectors, fuel pressure control valve, fuel
pump and
fuel pump relay. The fuel system
wiring schematic
diagram is covered on the facing page
of CHART A-5.
If a malfunction occurs in the fuel control system, it
usually results in either a rich or lean Heated Oxygen
Sensor (H02S) signal condition. This condition is
sensed by the
H02S and the ECM will change the fuel
calculation (injector pulse width) based on
H02S input.
The change made to the fuel calculation will be
indicated
by a change in the block learn values which
can be displayed on a
"Scan tool". The ideal block learn
values are around 128 counts.
If the H02S senses a
lean condition, the
ECM will add fuel, resulting in a
block learn value above 128 counts.
If the H02S senses
a rich condition, the
ECM will subtract fuel, resulting in
a block learn value below 128 counts.
Block learn values can vary greatly, depending on
temperature, altitude and individual engine
tolerances. The programmed range for block learn
values is
58 to 198. Values within this range indicate
the system is in
"control". If a system is operating near
the extremes
of the block learn range during normal vehicle
operation, and there is a driveability complaint,
the fuel metering system should be checked. Refer to
the diagnostic trouble code
45 chart on the facing page
for potential causes of a rich condition (low block learn
values). Refer to the diagnostic trouble code 44 chart
facing page
for potential causes of a lean condition
(high block learn values).
If a driveability symptom
exists, also refer to the particular symptom in
"Symptoms", Section "6E2-B" for additional items to
check.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST
A fuel system pressure test procedure is included in
CHART A-7 under
"Fuel System Diagnosis" in "Engine
Components/Wiring Diagrams/Diagnostic
Charts",
Section "6E2-A" diagnostic charts.
IDLE AIR CONTROL (lAC) VALVE
A "Scan tool" will display Idle Air Control (lAC) valve
position in
"Counts" or steps. "0" steps indicates the
ECM is commanding the lAC valve to be driven all the
way in, to a fully seated position. This condition is
usually caused by a vacuum leak.
The higher the number
of counts, the more air is being
allowed to pass the
lAC valve. A functional check of the
lAC valve system (CHART C-2C) is provided in this
section. Refer to
"Refer, Unstable, or Incorrect Idle,
Stalling"
in "Symptoms", Section "6E2-B" for other
possibilities
for the cause of idle problems.
