O2 SENSOR (Continued)
Fig. 25 DOWNSTREAM 2/1 O2 SENSOR
INSTALLATION - UPSTREAM 1/1 - 3.3/3.8L
The engines uses two heated oxygen sensors.
(1) After removing the sensor, the exhaust mani-
fold threads must be cleaned with an 18 mm X 1.5 +
6E tap. If reusing the original sensor, coat the sensor
threads with an anti-seize compound such as Loctite
771- 64 or equivalent. New sensors have compound
on the threads and do not require an additional coat-
ing.
(2) Install sensor and tighten to 27 N·m (20 ft.
lbs.).
(3) Connect the electrical connector for the O2 sen-
sor and install onto bracket.
(4) Connect the electrical connector for the speed
control servo.
(5) Install the speed control servo and bracket
refer to the Speed Control Servo for more informa-
tion.
(6) Connect the speed control vacuum harness to
servo.
(7) Install the battery tray, refer to the Battery
section for more information.
(8) Install battery, refer to the Battery section for
more information.
INSTALLATION DOWNSTREAM 2/1 -
2.4/3.3/3.8L
The O2S is located on the side of the catalytic con-
verter.
Threads of new oxygen sensors are factory coated
with anti-seize compound to aid in removal. DO
NOT add any additional anti-seize compound to
the threads of a new oxygen sensor.
(1) Install sensor and tighten to 27 N·m (20 ft.
lbs.).
(2) Connect the electrical connector.
(3) Lower vehicle.
(4) Install the negative battery cable.
THROTTLE BODY
DESCRIPTION
The throttle body is located on the intake manifold
(Fig. 26) or (Fig. 27). Fuel does not enter the intake
manifold through the throttle body. Fuel is sprayed
into the manifold by the fuel injectors.
Fig. 26 IAC MOTOR 2.4L
1 - Idle Air Control Motor
2 - Throttle Position Sensor
OPERATION
Filtered air from the air cleaner enters the intake
manifold through the throttle body. The throttle body
contains an air control passage controlled by an Idle
Air Control (IAC) motor. The air control passage is
used to supply air for idle conditions. A throttle valve
(plate) is used to supply air for above idle conditions.
Certain sensors are attached to the throttle body.
The accelerator pedal cable, speed control cable and
transmission control cable (when equipped) are con-
nected to the throttle body linkage arm.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechani-
cally limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the PCM.
