4.7 v8 engine JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2003 WJ / 2.G Workshop Manual

HEAT SHIELDS
DESCRIPTION
Heat shields are needed to protect both the vehicle
and the environment from the high temperatures
developed by the catalytic converter. The catalytic
converter releases additional heat into the exhaust
system. Under severe operating conditions, the tem-
perature increases in the area of the converter. Such
conditions can exist when the engine misfires or oth-
erwise does not operate at peak efficiency (Fig. 17).
MUFFLER
DESCRIPTION
Both the 4.0L and 4.7L engines use a stainless
steel muffler to control exhaust noise levels and
exhaust back pressure. The muffler and tailpipe are
a one piece assembly (Fig. 18).
REMOVAL
All original equipment exhaust systems are manu-
factured with the tailpipe welded to the muffler. Ser-
vice replacement mufflers and tailpipes are either
clamped together or welded together.
WARNING: IF TORCHES ARE USED WHEN WORK-
ING ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, DO NOT ALLOW
THE FLAME NEAR THE FUEL LINES.
(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Saturate the bolts and nuts with heat valve
lubricant. Allow 5 minutes for penetration.(3) Loosen the exhaust clamp on the catalytic con-
verter to muffler connection (Fig. 19).
(4) Heat the catalytic converter-to-muffler connec-
tion with a torch until the metal becomes cherry red.
(5) While the metal is still cherry red, remove the
tailpipe/muffler assembly from the catalytic con-
verter.
(6) Remove the tailpipe from the tailpipe hanger
(Fig. 20).
(7) Remove the tailpipe/muffler assembly (Fig. 20).
INSTALLATION
(1) If the tailpipe hanger assembly was removed,
install the hanger to the frame. Tighten the bolts to
22 N´m (192 in. lbs.) torque.
(2) Position the tailpipe and muffler onto the
tailpipe hanger (Fig. 20) .
(3) Install the muffler onto the catalytic converter.
Make sure that the tailpipe has sufficient clearance
from the floor pan. Install exhaust clamp and tighten
the nuts to 47 N´m (35 ft. lbs.) torque (Fig. 19) .
(4) Lower the vehicle.
(5) Start the engine and inspect for exhaust leaks
and exhaust system contact with the body panels.
Adjust the alignment, if needed.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - FUEL SYSTEM
PRESSURE RELEASE
Use following procedure if the fuel injector
rail is, or is not equipped with a fuel pressure
test port.
(1) Remove fuel fill cap.
(2) Remove fuel pump relay from Power Distribu-
tion Center (PDC). For location of relay, refer to label
on underside of PDC cover.
(3) Start and run engine until it stalls.
(4) Attempt restarting engine until it will no
longer run.
(5) Turn ignition key to OFF position.
CAUTION: Steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 must be performed to
relieve high pressure fuel from within fuel rail. Do
not attempt to use following steps to relieve this
pressure as excessive fuel will be forced into a cyl-
inder chamber.
(6) Unplug connector from any fuel injector.
(7) Attach one end of a jumper wire with alligator
clips (18 gauge or smaller) to either injector terminal.(8) Connect other end of jumper wire to positive
side of battery.
(9) Connect one end of a second jumper wire to
remaining injector terminal.
CAUTION: Powering an injector for more than a few
seconds will permanently damage the injector.
(10) Momentarily touch other end of jumper wire
to negative terminal of battery for no more than a
few seconds.
(11) Place a rag or towel below fuel line quick-con-
nect fitting at fuel rail.
(12) Disconnect quick-connect fitting at fuel rail.
Refer to Quick-Connect Fittings.
(13) Return fuel pump relay to PDC.
(14) One or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's)
may have been stored in PCM memory due to fuel
pump relay removal. The DRBtscan tool must be
used to erase a DTC.

FUEL RAIL
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - 4.7L
The fuel injector rail is used to mount the fuel
injectors to the engine. It is mounted to the intake
manifold (Fig. 20).
DESCRIPTION - 4.0L
The fuel injector rail is used to mount the fuel
injectors to the engine (Fig. 21). On the 4.0L 6±cylin-
der engine, afuel damperis located near the center
of the fuel rail (Fig. 21).
OPERATION
OPERATION - 4.7L
High pressure fuel from the fuel pump is routed to
the fuel rail. The fuel rail then supplies the neces-
sary fuel to each individual fuel injector.
A fuel pressure test port is located on the fuel rail
(Fig. 20). A quick-connect fitting with a safety latch
is used to attach the fuel line to the fuel rail.
The fuel rail is not repairable.
OPERATION - 4.0L
The fuel injector rail supplies the necessary fuel to
each individual fuel injector.
High pressure fuel from the fuel pump is routed to
the fuel rail. The fuel rail then supplies the neces-
sary fuel to each individual fuel injector.
The fuel damper is used only to help control fuel
pressure pulsations. These pulsations are the result
of the firing of the fuel injectors. It isnot usedas a
fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure regulator is
not mountedto the fuel rail on any engine. It is
located near the front of the fuel tank above the rear
axle. Refer to Fuel Filter/Fuel Pressure Regulator in
this group for information.
A fuel pressure test port is located on the fuel rail
(Fig. 21). A quick-connect fitting with a safety latch
is used to attach the fuel line to the fuel rail.
The fuel rail is not repairable.
