The 3.8 Liter (231 cu. in.) engine is 60° V6 engines with cast iron cylinder blocks and aluminum cylinder
heads. The engine uses a single, block mounted camshaft, roller lifters with pushrods to actuate the valves and
either cracked cap, or standard cap, forged connecting rods. The engine does not have provisions for a free
wheeling valve train.
The firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6. The left cylinder bank is numbered 2, 4, and 6. The right cylinder bank is
numbered 1, 3, and 5.
The engine identification number is located on the rear of the cylinder block just below the cylinder head.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
INTRODUCTION
Engine diagnosis is helpful in determining the causes of malfunctions not detected and remedied by routine
maintenance.
These malfunctions may be classified as either mechanical (e.g., a strange noise), or performance (e.g., engine
idles rough and stalls).
