When the battery cable(s) are reconnecte
d (negative cable last), be sure to
check that your lights, windshield wipers and other electrically operated safety
components are all working correctly. If your vehicle contains an Electronically
Tuned Radio (ETR), don't forget to also reset your radio stations. Ditto for the
clock.

ROCHESTER E4ME AND E4MC
1. Remove the air horn and gasket from the float bowl. Hold the float retainer down firmly. Push the float down (lightly) against the needle.
2. Position a T-scale ov er the toe of the float
1/16 in. (1.6mm) from the end
of the float toe.
3. If the float level varies more than
1/16 in. (1.6mm) from the specified
setting, it must be reset.

FLOAT LEVEL TOO HIGH 1. Hold the float retainer in place.
2. Push down on the center of the float until the correct level is obtained.
FLOAT LEVEL TOO LOW 1. Lift out the metering rods and remo ve the solenoid connector screws.
2. Turn the lean mixture solenoid screw clockwise, counting and recording

Type 2: Compress retaining spring from valve while turning valve
in with a clockwise motion. Return spring to original position with
straight portion of spring end aligned with flat surface of valve.
On IAC valves that have already been in service, do not push or pull on the
valve pintle. The force required to move the pintle may damage the threads on
the worm drive.
5. Use a new gasket or O-ring and install the IAC valve into the throttle body.
6. Allow the ECM to reset the idle air control valve using the procedure
described earlier in this section.

CROSSFIRE INJECTION SYSTEM

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Model 400 Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system is a computer controlled
system that uses a pair of Throttle Body Injection (TBI) units, which are
mounted on a single manifold cover on t he 5.0L (VIN 7) engine. Since each TBI
feeds the cylinders on the opposite side of the engine, the system has acquired
the name of Crossf ire Injection.
Fuel is supplied, by an electric fuel pum p located in the fuel tank, to the front
TBI fuel accumulator. From the accumulator, it is carried to the rear TBI fuel
pressure regulator by a c onnecting tube. Unused fuel is sent to the fuel tank
through a separate return line.

13. Lubricate a new outlet tube 0-ring and in
stall it on the end of the tube.
14. Connect the regulator base to the fuel outlet tube, then to the fuel rail.
15. Finger-tighten the base-to-rail screw.
16. Install the pressure regulator br acket. Finger-tighten the screws only.
17. Lubricate a new rear crossover tube O-ring and install it on the end of the
tube.
18. Install the rear crossover tube to the regulator base.
19. Install the crossover tube reta iner and finger-tighten the screw.
20. Tighten all attaching screws to 44 inch lbs. (5 Nm).
21. Install the fuel rail assembly.
22. Temporarily connect the negative battery cable. a. With the engine OFF and the igniti on ON, check for fuel leaks.
b. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
23. Install the intake plenum and runners.
24. Connect the negative battery cable.
IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION 1. Unplug the electrical connector from idle air control valve.
2. Remove the idle air control valve.
To install: 3. Before installing the idle air contro l valve, measure the distance that the
valve is extended. Measurement s hould be made from the motor housing
to the end of the cone. It should not exceed 28.5mm (1
1/8 in.), or damage
to the valve may occur when installed.
4. On 1985-1992 models, identify the replacement IAC valve as being
either Type 1 (with collar at electric terminal end) or Type 2 (without
collar). If measuring distance is great er than specified above, proceed as
follows:
• Type 1: Use finger pressure to slowly retract the pintle.
• Type 2: Compress retaining spring from valve while turning valve
in with a clockwise motion. Return spring to original position with
straight portion of spring end aligned with flat surface of valve.
On IAC valves that have already been in service, do not push or pull on the
valve pintle. The force required to move the pintle may damage the threads on
the worm drive.
5. Use a new gasket or O-ring and install the IAC valve into the throttle body.
6. Allow the ECM to reset the idle air control valve using the procedure
described earlier in this section.
