fuel pressure regulator from engine.

INSTALLATION

(1) Lubricate O-ring on fuel pressure regulator

with clean 30 weight engine oil.

(2) Install fuel pressure regulator into fuel rail.

Tighten screws to 10 N

Im (90 in. lbs.) torque.

(3) Install screw holding fuel return tube clamp in

place. Tighten screw to 10 N

Im (95 in. lbs.) torque.

(4) Connect vacuum hose to fuel pressure regula-

tor.

(5) Connect fuel return hose to fuel return tube.

Tighten hose clamp to 1 N

Im (10 in. lbs.) torque.

(6) Connect negative battery cable.

CAUTION: When using the ASD Fuel System Test,
the Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay remains energized
for either 7 minutes, until the test is stopped, or un-
til the ignition switch is turned to the Off position.

(7) With the ignition key in ON position, access

the DRBII scan tool’s ASD Fuel System Test to pres-
surize the fuel system. Check for leaks.

FUEL INJECTORS

WARNING: THE 3.0L MPI FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER
A CONSTANT PRESSURE OF APPROXIMATELY 330
KPA (48 PSI). PERFORM FUEL PRESSURE RE-
LEASE

PROCEDURE

BEFORE

SERVICING

THE

FUEL INJECTORS.

REMOVAL

(1) Perform the Fuel Pressure Release Procedure.
(2) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
The fuel rail must be removed first to service the

injectors. Refer to Fuel Injector Rail Assembly Re-
moval in this section.

(3) Label each injector connector with its cylinder

number. Disconnect electrical connector from injec-
tor.

(4) Position fuel rail assembly so that the fuel in-

jectors are easily accessible.

(5) Remove injector clip from fuel rail and injector

(Fig. 14).

(6) Pull injector straight out of fuel rail receiver

cup (Fig. 15).

(7) Check injector O-ring for damage. If O-ring is

damaged, it must be replaced. If injector is to be re-
used, a protective cap must be installed on the injec-
tor tip to prevent damage.

(8) Repeat procedure for remaining injectors.

INSTALLATION

(1) Before installing an injector, the rubber O-ring

must be lubricated with a drop of clean engine oil to
aid in installation.

(2) Being careful not to damage O-ring, install in-

jector nozzle end into fuel rail receiver cap (Fig. 15).

(3) Install injector clip by sliding open end into top

slot of the injector. The edge of the receiver cup will
slide into the side slots of clip (Fig. 14).

(4) Repeat steps for remaining injectors.
(5) Install fuel rail assembly. Refer to Fuel Rail

Assembly Installation in this section.

(6) Connect electrical connectors to injectors in cor-

rect order.

(7) Connect negative battery cable.

CAUTION: When using the ASD Fuel System Test,
the Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay remains energized
for either 7 minutes, until the test is stopped, or un-
til the ignition switch is turned to the Off position.

(8) With the ignition key in ON position, access

the DRBII scan tool ASD Fuel System Test to pres-
surize the fuel system. Check for leaks.

MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR

(1) Remove vacuum hose and mounting screws

from manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor (Fig.
16).

(2) Disconnect electrical connector from sensor. Re-

move sensor.

(3) Reverse the above procedure for installation.

CANISTER PURGE SOLENOID SERVICE

(1) Remove vacuum hose and electrical connector

from solenoid (Fig. 17).

(2) Slide solenoid and silencer assembly off of

bracket.

(3) Reverse above procedure to install.

PCM

(1) Remove air cleaner duct from PCM.
(2) Disconnect negative cable from battery. Discon-

nect positive cable from battery.

(3) Remove battery holddown. Remove battery.
(4) Remove PCM mounting screws (Fig. 18, Fig. 19

or Fig. 20).

(5) Remove the electrical connector from PCM. Re-

move PCM.

(6) Reverse the above procedure for installation.

SENSOR)

The oxygen sensor is installed in the exhaust man-

ifold (Fig. 21).

CAUTION: Do not pull on the oxygen sensor wires
when disconnecting the electrical connector.

WARNING: THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD MAY BE EX-
TREMELY HOT. USE CARE WHEN SERVICING THE
OXYGEN SENSOR.

(1) Disconnect oxygen sensor electrical connector.
(2) Remove sensor using Tool C-4907 (Fig. 22).

Slightly tightening the sensor can ease removal.

When the sensor is removed, the exhaust manifold

threads must be cleaned with an 18 mm X 1.5 + 6E tap.
If using original sensor, coat the threads with Loctite
771-64 anti-seize compound or equivalent. New sen-
sors are packaged with compound on the threads and
do not require additional compound. The sensor must
be tightened to 27 N

Im (20 ft. lbs.) torque.

GENERAL INFORMATION

3.3L and 3.8L engines use a sequential Multi-port

Electronic Fuel Injection system (Fig. 1). The MPI

system is computer regulated and provides precise
air/fuel ratios for all driving conditions.

The MPI system is operated by the powertrain con-

trol module (PCM).
