Most of the cleaning process can be carried out
with common hand tools and readily available sol-
vents or solutions. Carbon deposits can be chipped
away using a hammer and a hard wooden chisel. Old
gasket material and varnish or sludge can usually be
removed using a scraper and/or cleaning solvent. Ex-
tremely stubborn deposits may require the use of a
power drill wrth a wire brush. If using a wire brush,
use extreme care around any critical machined sur-
faces (such as the gasket surfaces, bearing saddles,
cylinder bores, etc.). USE OF A WIRE BRUSH IS NOT
RECOMMENDED ON ANY ALUMINUM COMPO-
NENTS Always follow any safety recommendations
given by the manufacturer of the tool and/or solvent.
You should always wear eye protection during any
cleaning process involvrng scraping, chipping or
spraying of solvents.
An alternative to the mess and hassle of cleaning
the parts yourself is to drop them off at a local garage
or machine shop. They will, more than likely, have
the necessary equrpment to properly clean all of the
parts for a nominal fee.
Always wear eye protection during any clean-
ing process involving scraping, chipping or
spraying of solvents.
Remove any oil galley plugs, freeze plugs and/or
pressed-in bearings and carefully wash and degrease
all of the engine components including the fasteners
and bolts. Small parts such as the valves, springs,
etc., should be placed in a metal basket and allowed
to soak. Use pipe cleaner type brushes, and clean all
passageways in the components. Use a ring ex-
pander and remove the rings from the pistons. Clean
the piston ring grooves with a special tool or a piece
of broken ring Scrape the carbon off of the top of the
piston. You should never use a wire brush on the
pistons. After preparing all of the piston assemblies
in this manner, wash and degrease them again.
Use extreme care when cleaning around the
cylinder head valve seats. A mistake or slip
may cost you a new seat.
When cleaning the cylinder head, remove carbon
from the combustron chamber with the valves in-
stalled. This will avoid damaging the valve seats.

# See Figures 232, 233, 234, 235 and 236
Several methods of repairing damaged threads are
available Heli-Coil@ (shown here), Keenserts@ and
Microdop are among the most widely used. All in-
volve basically the same principle-drilling out
stripped threads, tapping the hole and installing a
prewound insert-making welding, plugging and
oversize fasteners unnecessary.
Two types of thread repair inserts are usually sup-
plied: a standard type for most inch coarse, rnch fine,
metric course and metrrc fine thread sizes and a
spark lug type to fit most spark plug port sizes. Con-
sult the individual tool manufacturers catalog to de-
termine exact applications. Typical thread repair kits
will contain a selection of prewound threaded inserts,
a tap (corresponding to the outside diameter threads
of the insert) and an installation tool. Spark plug in-
serts usually differ because they require a tap
equipped wrth pilot threads and a combined
reamer/tap section. Most manufacturers also supply
blister-packed thread repair Inserts separately in ad-
dition to a master kit containing a variety of taps and
inserts plus installation tools
Before attempting to repair a threaded hole, re-
move any snapped, broken or damaged bolts or
studs. Penetrating oil can be used to free frozen
threads. The offending item can usually be removed
with locking pliers or using a screw/stud extractor.
After the hole is clear, the thread can be reparred, as
shown in the series of accompanying illustrations
and in the krt manufacturers instructions.

To properly rebuild an engine, you must first re-
move it from the vehicle, then disassemble and diag-
nose it. Ideally you should place your engine on an
engine stand. This affords you the best access to the
engine components. Follow the manufacturers direc-
tions for using the stand with your particular engine.
Remove the flywheel or flexplate before installing the
engine to the stand.
Now that you have the engine on a stand, and as-
suming that you have drained the oil and coolant
from the engine, it’s time to strip it of all but the nec-
essary components. Before you start disassembling
the engine, you may want to take a moment to draw
some pictures, or fabricate some labels or containers
to mark the locations of various components and the
bolts and/or studs which fasten them. Modern day
engines use a lot of little brackets and clips which
hold wiring harnesses and such, and these holders
are often mounted on studs and/or bolts that can be
easily mixed up. The manufacturer spent a lot of time
and money designing your vehicle, and they wouldn’t
have wasted any of it by haphazardly placing brack-
ets, clips or fasteners on the vehicle. If it’s present
when you disassemble it, put it back when you as-
semble, you will regret not remembering that little
bracket which holds a wire harness out of the path of
a rotating part.
You should begin by unbolting any accessories
still attached to the engine, such as the water pump,
power steering pump, alternator, etc. Then, unfasten
any manifolds (intake or exhaust) which were not re-
moved during the engine removal procedure. Finally,

OPERATION
The Oxygen (02) sensor is a device which pro-
duces an electrical voltage when exposed to the oxy-
gen present in the exhaust gases. The sensor is
mounted in the exhaust system, usually in the mani-
fold or a boss located on the down pipe before the
catalyst. The oxygen sensors used on some models
are electrically heated internally for faster switching
when the engine is started cold. The oxygen sensor
produces a voltage within 0 and 1 volt. When there is
a large amount of oxygen present (lean mixture), the
sensor produces a low voltage (less than 0.4~). When
there is a lesser amount present (rich mixture) it pro-
duces a higher voltage (0.6-I .Ov). The stoichiometric
or correct fuel to air ratio will read between 0.4 and
0.6~. By monitoring the oxygen content and convert-
ing it to electrical voltage, the sensor acts as a rich-
lean switch. The voltage is transmitted to the PCM.
Some models have two sensors, one before the
catalyst and one after. This is done for a catalyst eff i-
ciency monitor that is a part of the OBD-II engine
controls. The one before the catalyst measures the
exhaust emissions right out of the engine, and sends
the signal to the PCM about the state of the mixture
as previously talked about. The second sensor re-
ports the difference in the emissions after the exhaust
gases have gone through the catalyst. This sensor re-
ports to the PCM the amount of emissions reduction
the catalyst is performing.
The oxygen sensor will not work until a predeter-
mined temperature is reached, until this time the
PCM is running in what as known as OPEN LOOP
operation. OPEN LOOP means that the PCM has not
yet begun to correct the air-to-fuel ratio by reading the oxygen sensor. After the engine comes to operat-
ing temperature, the PCM will monitor the oxygen
sensor and correct the air/fuel ratio from the sensor’s
readings. This is what is known as CLOSED LOOP
operation.
A Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) has a heating el-
ement that keeps the sensor at proper operatmg tem-
perature during all operating modes. Maintaining
correct sensor temperature at all times allows the
system to enter into CLOSED LOOP operation
sooner.
In CLOSED LOOP operation, the PCM monitors
the sensor input (along with other inputs) and adjusts
the injector pulse width accordingly. During OPEN
LOOP operation, the PCM ignores the sensor input
and adjusts the injector pulse to a preprogrammed
value based on other inputs.
TESTING
# See Figure 37
93154p36 Fig. 37 The HD2S can be monitored with an
appropriate and Data-stream capable scan

Do not pierce the wires when testing this
sensor; this can lead to wiring harness dam-
age. Backprobe the connector to properly
read the voltage of the HD2S.
1. Disconnect the H02S.
2. Measure the resistance between PWR and
GND terminals of the sensor. Resistance should be
approximately 6 ohms at 68°F (20°C) If resistance is
not within specification, the sensor’s heater element
is faulty.
3. With the H02S connected and engine running,
measure the voltage with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter
(DVOM) between terminals
HD2S and SIG RTN (GND) of the oxygen sensor connector. Voltage
should fluctuate between 0.01-l .O volts. If voltage
fluctuation is slow or voltage is not within specifica-
tion, the sensor may be faulty.

OPERATION
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor re-
sistance changes in response to engine coolant tem-
perature. The sensor resistance decreases as the
coolant temperature increases, and increases as the
coolant temperature decreases. This provides a refer-
ence signal to the PCM, which indicates engine
coolant temperature. The signal sent to the PCM by
the ECT sensor helps the PCM to determine spark-
advance, EGR flow rate, air/fuel ratio, and engine
temperature. The ECT is a two wire sensor, a 5volt

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
the signals of input and output sensors, some all the
time and others at certain times and processes each
signal. When the PCM notices that an irregularity has
continued for a specified time or longer from when
the irregular signal was initially monitored, the PCM
judges that a malfunction has occurred and will
memorize the malfunction code. The code is then
stored in the memory of the PCM and is accessible
through the data link (diagnostic connector) with the
use of an electronic scan tool or a voltmeter.
CHECK ENGINE/MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LIGHT
Among the on-board diagnostic items, a check
engine/malfunction indicator light comes on to notify
the driver of a emission control component irregular-
ity. If the irregularity detected returns to normal or the
PCM judges that the component has returned to nor-
mal, the check engine/malfunction indicator light will
be turned off Moreover, if the ignition is turned OFF
and then the engine is restarted, the check
engine/malfunction indicator light will not be turned
on unttl a malfunction is detected.
The check engine/malfunction indicator light will
come on immediately after the ignition switch is
turned ON. The light should stay lit for 5 seconds
and then will go off. This Indicates that the check en-
gine/malfunction indicator lamp is operating nor-
mally. This does not signify a problem with the sys-
tem.
*The check engine/malfunction indicator
lamp will come on when the terminal for the
ignition timing adjustment is shorted to
ground. Therefore, it is not abnormal that the
light comes on even when the terminal for ig-
nition timing is shorted at time of ignition
timing adjustment.
To test the light, perform the following:
1. Turn the ignition switch ON. Inspect the check
engine/malfunction indicator lamp for Illumination.
2. The light should be lit for 5 seconds and then
should go out.
3. If the lamp does not illuminate, check for open
circuit In the harness, blown fuse or blown bulb.
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
l Before attachrng or detaching the PCM harness
connectors, make sure the ignition switch is OFF and
the negative battery cable is disconnected to avoid
the possibility of damage to the PCM.
l When performing PCM input/output signal di-
agnosis, remove the pin terminal retainer from the
connectors to make it easier to insert tester probes
into the connector.
l When attaching or detaching pin connectors ,
from the PCM, take care not to bend or break any pin
terminals. Check that there are no bends or breaks on
PCM pin terminals before attempting any connec-
tions.
l Before replacing any PCM, perform the PCM
input/output signal diagnosis to make sure the PCM
is functioning properly.
l When measuring supply voltage of PCM-con-
trolled components with a circuit tester, separate 1
tester probe from another. If the 2 tester probes acci-
dentally make contact with each other during mea-
surement, a short circuit WIII result and damage the
PCM.
# See Figures 83
and 84
Remember that the diagnostic trouble code identi-
fication refers only to the circuit, not necessarily to a
specific component. For example, fault code 14 may
indicate an error in the throttle position sensor cir-
cuit; it does not necessarily mean the TPS sensor has
failed Testing of all related wiring, connectors and
the sensor itself may be required to locate the prob-
lem.
The PCM memory is capable of storing multiple
codes. During diagnosis the codes will be transmlt-
ted in numerical order from lowest to highest, regard-
less of the order of occurrence. If multiple codes are
stored, always begin diagnostic work with the lowest
numbered code
Make a note of the following:
1. When battery voltage IS low, no detection of
failure is possible. Be sure to check the battery volt-
age and other conditions before starting the test.
2. Diagnostic items are erased if the battery or the
engine controller connection is detached. Do not dis- connect either of these components until the diag-
nostic material present in the PCM has been read
completely.
3. Be sure to attach and detach the scan tool to
the data link connector with the ignition key OFF. If
the scan tool in connected or disconnected with the
ignition key ON, diagnostic trouble codes may be
falsely stored and the engine warning light may be il-
luminated. WITHASCANTOOL
