CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction
could cause converter to overheat, resulting in possible damage to
converter and vehicle.
COOLANT (PROPYLENE-GLYCOL FORMULATIONS)
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to vehicle use only ethylene-glycol
based coolants with a mixture ratio from 44-68% anti-freeze.
DO NOT use 100% anti-freeze as it will cause the formation
of cooling system deposits. This results in coolant
temperatures of over 300
\b F (149\bC) which can melt plastics.
100% anti-freeze has a freeze point of only -8\b F (-22\bC).
CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol Mixtures has a smaller temperature range
than Ethylene-Glycol. The temperature range (freeze-boil)
of a 50/50 Anti-Freeze/Water Mix is as follows:
Propylene-Glycol -26
\b F (-32\bC) - 257\b F (125\bC)
Ethylene-Glycol -35\b F (-37\bC) - 263\b F (128\bC)
CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol Mixtures can cause the
destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors. Also
Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol has a different specific
gravity than Ethylene-Glycol coolant, which will result in
inaccurate freeze point calculations.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE (ESD) PARTS
WARNING: Many solid state electrical components can be damaged by
static electricity (ESD). Some will display a warning label,
but many will not. Discharge personal static electricity by
touching a metal ground point on the vehicle prior to
servicing any ESD sensitive component.
ENGINE OIL
CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel
system component (fuel injection models).
HALOGEN BULBS
WARNING: Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare
hands. Eye protection should be worn when handling or working
around halogen bulbs.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.
RADIATOR FAN

FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE
WARNING: ALWAYS relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel
injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact
engine or electrical components.
1) On Colt and Mirage, remove rear seat cushion. On all
models, disconnect fuel pump harness connector at fuel tank.
2) Start engine. Let engine run until it stops. Turn ignition
off. Disconnect negative battery terminal. Connect fuel pump harness
connector.
FUEL PUMP
Removal & Installation
1) Fuel pump assembly is located inside fuel tank. Release
fuel pressure from system. See FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE. Raise
vehicle on hoist. Drain fuel into suitable container. Disconnect
electrical connectors and fuel hoses at fuel tank.
2) Remove fuel filler hose from fuel tank. Remove nuts
securing fuel tank. Remove fuel tank from vehicle and remove fuel pump
assembly. To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten nuts to

FUEL RAILS & INJECTORS (PFI)
Use a rag to cover fuel hose connection before disconnecting
high pressure fuel hose at fuel rail. Some residual fuel pressure may
still be in system.
Removal (Except Pickup & Ram-50 2.4L)
1) On all models, relieve fuel pressure. See
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE . Disconnect negative battery cable. On
Montero, Pickup, Ram-50, Stealth and 3000GT 3.0L, disconnect air
intake plenum. On Eclipse, disconnect PCV valve hose.
2) On Colt Vista, disconnect coolant temperature sensor
connector, idle speed control servo connector and brake booster vacuum
hose. On all models, disconnect high pressure fuel hose at fuel rail.
3) Disconnect fuel return hose. Disconnect vacuum hoses. On
Eclipse, Colt and Colt 200, disconnect throttle cable clamp. Remove
center cover. On all models, disconnect injector electrical
connectors. Remove fuel rail bolts and lift fuel rail and injectors
from engine.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts to
specifications. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table.
Removal (Pickup & Ram-50 2.4L)

and electrical connectors out of way. Disconnect throttle and/or
kickdown cables. Remove throttle body assembly and position it out of
the way.
3) Disconnect high pressure fuel hose at fuel rail.
Disconnect fuel return line and vacuum line connection at fuel rail.
Remove fuel rail bolts and lift fuel rail and injectors from engine.

Installation
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. Injectors may be
removed after fuel rail is removed from intake manifold. Use new
insulators and "O" rings when installing injectors.
2) Use spindle oil or gasoline on "O" ring. Install injectors
into fuel rail with a twisting motion. Adjust throttle and kickdown
cable (if applicable). Do not drop injectors while removing or
installing fuel rail.
OXYGEN (O2) SENSOR
Removal & Installation
1) O2 Sensor is mounted in exhaust pipe below exhaust header.
It is equipped with a permanent pigtail which must be protected from
damage when sensor is removed. Ensure sensor is free of contaminants,
avoid using cleaning solvents of any type. Sensor may be difficult to
remove when engine temperature is less than 120
F (48 C).
2) Always use anti-seize compound on threads before
installation. On non-turbo models, remove sensor using Remover
(MD998703). On turbo models, use Remover (MD998748) on Eclipse and
Galant, or Remover (MD998770) on Stealth and 3000GT. Tighten oxygen
sensor to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table.
