ENGINE MECHANICAL
Before performing any on-vehicle adjustments to fuel or
ignition system, ensure engine mechanical condition is okay.
VALVE CLEARANCE
NOTE: All engines except 1.5L use hydraulic valve lifters. Valve
adjustment is only required on 1.5L engines. To check
hydraulic valve lifter operation, see CHECKING HYDRAULIC
VALVE LIFTERS.
MECHANICAL VALVE LIFTERS
CAUTION: DO NOT rotate crankshaft in opposite direction of normal
engine rotation.
1.5L
1) Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Remove
all spark plugs and valve cover. Rotate crankshaft to position
cylinder No. 1 on TDC of compression stroke. Adjust intake valves on
cylinders No. 1 and No. 2, and exhaust valves on cylinders No. 1 and
No. 3. See VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT table for specification.
2) Rotate crankshaft 360 degrees to position cylinder No. 4
on TDC of compression stroke. Adjust intake valves on cylinders No. 3
and No. 4, and exhaust valves on cylinders No. 2 and No. 4.

CHECKING HYDRAULIC VALVE LIFTERS
Except 1.5L
1) Remove valve cover. Push downward on end of rocker arm
above lash adjuster. If lash adjuster is normal, it will feel hard. If
lash adjuster moves downward easily when pushed, replace adjuster.
2) If lash adjuster feels soft or spongy, oil with air has
probably entered lash adjuster. If this occurs, check engine oil
level. If engine oil level is okay, check oil screen and oil screen
gasket for damage.
3) After repairing cause of air leak, warm engine to
operating temperature. Drive vehicle at low speed for approximately 5
minutes. Turn engine off for a few minutes.
4) Restart engine and drive at low speed for approximately 5

pump. If fuel pressure drops slowly, fuel injector is leaking or fuel
pressure regulator valve seat is leaking. Check for faulty fuel
injector or fuel pressure regulator. Repair as required.
11) When fuel pressure test is complete, repeat fuel pressure
release procedure in steps 1) and 2) before disconnecting fuel
pressure gauge. Install new "O" ring at end of high pressure hose.
Check for fuel leaks.

Control Relay
Multipurpose relay switches power to vehicle sensors and
actuators including airflow sensor, crank angle sensor, idle speed
control, injectors and fuel pump. When ignition switch is turned to ON
position, ECU energizes coils controlling injectors, airflow sensor
and idle speed control. When ignition switch is turned to START
position, ECU energizes coils (through inhibitor switch on A/T models)\
to supply power to fuel pump. Relay failure will cause a no-start
condition. For testing procedure, see SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING
article.
IGNITION CHECKS
SPARK
Check for spark at coil wire (if applicable) and at each
spark plug wire using a high output spark tester. Check spark plug
wire resistance on suspect wires. For wire resistance specification,
see C - SPECIFICATIONS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
CRANK ANGLE SENSOR
For crank angle sensor testing procedure on all models except
Ram-50, Stealth, Eclipse, Laser, Pickup and 3000GT, see TEST NS-5:

remote vacuum regulator. The internal solenoid is normally open, which
causes the vacuum signal to be vented off to the atmosphere when EGR
is not controlled by the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The solenoid\
valve opens and closes the vacuum signal, controlling the amount of
vacuum applied to the diaphragm. See Fig. 12.
The electronic EGR valve contains a voltage regulator, which
converts ECM signal and regulates current to the solenoid. The ECM
controls EGR flow with a pulse width modulated signal based on
airflow, TPS and RPM. This system also contains a pintle position
sensor, which works similarly to a TPS sensor. As EGR flow is
increased, the sensor output increases.
Verify EGR valve is present and not modified or purposely
damaged. Ensure thermal vacuum switches, pressure transducers, speed
switches, etc., (if applicable) are not by-passed or modified. Ensure
electrical connector to EGR valve is not disconnected.

SPARK CONTROLS (SPK)
Page 420 of 1333
Spark control systems are designed to ensure the air/fuel
mixture is ignited at the best possible moment to provide optimum
efficiency and power and cleaner emissions.
Ensure vacuum hoses to the distributor, carburetor, spark
delay valves, thermal vacuum switches, etc., are in place and routed
properly. On Computerized Engine Controls (CEC), check for presence of\
required sensors (O2, MAP, CTS, TPS, etc.). Ensure they have not been
tampered with or modified.
Check for visible modification or replacement of the feedback
carburetor, fuel injection unit or injector(s) with a non-feedback
carburetor or fuel injection system. Check for modified emission-
related components unacceptable for use on pollution-controlled
vehicles.
AIR INJECTION SYSTEM (AIS)
Air Pump Injection System (AP)
The air pump is a belt-driven vane type pump, mounted to
engine in combination with other accessories. The air pump itself
consists of the pump housing, an inner air cavity, a rotor and a vane
assembly. As the vanes turn in the housing, filtered air is drawn in
through the intake port and pushed out through the exhaust port. See
Fig. 13 .
Check for missing or disconnected belt, check valve(s),
diverter valve(s), air distribution manifolds, etc. Check air
injection system for proper hose routing.

Pulsed Secondary Air Injection (PAIR) System
PAIR eliminates the need for an air pump and most of the
associated hardware. Most systems consists of air delivery pipe(s),
pulse valve(s) and check valve(s). The check valve prevents exhaust
gases from entering the air injection system. See Fig. 14.
Ensure required check valve(s), diverter valve(s), air
distribution manifolds, etc., are present. Check air injection system
for proper hose routing.

than .010" (.25 mm) from tip. Chamfer sharp edge of reground valve
tip. Recheck valve stem installed height.
VALVE STEM OIL SEALS
Valve stem oil seals must be installed on valve stem. See
Fig. 2 . Seals are needed due to pressure differential at the ends of
valve guides. Atmospheric pressure above intake guide, combined with
manifold vacuum below guide, causes oil to be drawn into the cylinder.
Exhaust guides also have pressure differential created by
exhaust gas flowing past the guide, creating a low pressure area. This
low pressure area draws oil into the exhaust system.
Replacement (On Vehicle)
Mark rocker arm or overhead cam components for location.
Remove rocker arm components or overhead cam components. Components
must be installed in original location. Remove spark plugs. Valve stem
oil seals may be replaced by holding valves against seats using air
pressure.
Air pressure must be installed in cylinder using an adapter
for spark plug hole. An adapter can be constructed by welding air hose
connection to spark plug body with porcelain removed.
Install adapter in spark plug hole. Apply a minimum of 140
psi (9.8 kg/cm
) to adapter. Air pressure should hold valve closed. If
air pressure does not hold valve closed, check for damaged or bent
valve. Cylinder head must be removed for service.
Using valve spring compressor, compress valve springs. Remove
valve locks. Carefully release spring compressor. Remove retainer or
rotator and valve spring. Remove valve stem oil seal.
If oversized valves have been installed, oversized oil seals
must be used. Coat valve stem with engine oil. Install protective
sleeve over end of valve stem. Install new oil seal over valve stem
and seat on valve guide. Remove protective sleeve. Install spring
seat, valve spring and retainer or rotator. Compress spring and
install valve locks. Remove spring compressor. Ensure valve locks
are fully seated.
Install rocker arms or overhead cam components. Tighten all
bolts to specification. Adjust valves if required. Remove adapter.
Install spark plugs, valve cover and gasket.
VALVE SPRING INSTALLED HEIGHT
Valve spring installed height should be checked during
reassembly. Measure height from lower edge of valve spring to the
upper edge. DO NOT include valve spring seat or retainer. Distance
must be within specifications. If valves and/or seats have been
ground, a valve spring shim may be required to correct spring height.
