BALANCE SHAFTS CARRIER ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL The following components will remain intact dur-
ing carrier removal. Gear cover, gears, balance shafts
and the rear cover. (1) Remove chain cover and driven balance shaft
chain sprocket screw. (2) Loosen tensioner pivot and adjusting screws,
move driven balance shaft inboard through driven
chain sprocket. Sprocket will hang in lower chain
loop. (3) Remove carrier to crankcase attaching bolts to
remove carrier. INSTALLATION
Balance shaft and carrier assembly installation is
the reverse of the removal procedure. During instal-
lation crankshaft to balance shaft timing must be
established.
TIMING
(1) With balance shafts installed in carrier (Fig. 19)
position carrier on crankcase and install six attaching
bolts and tighten to 54 N Im (40 ft. lbs.).
(2) Turn balance shafts until both shaft key ways are
up Parallel to vertical centerline of engine. Install
short hub drive gear on sprocket driven shaft and long
hub gear on gear driven shaft. After installation gear
and balance shaft keyways must be up with gear
timing marks meshed as shown in (Fig. 20). (3) Install gear cover and tighten double ended
stud/washer fastener to 12 N Im (105 in. lbs.).
(4) Install crankshaft sprocket and tighten socket
head torx screws to 13 N Im (130 in. lbs.).

9 - 46 2.2/2.5L ENGINE Ä

(5) Turn crankshaft until number one cylinder is
at Top Dead Center (TDC). The timing marks on the
chain sprocket should line up with the parting line
on the left side of number one main bearing cap.
(Fig. 21). (6) Place chain over crankshaft sprocket so that
the nickel plated link of the chain is over the timing
mark on the crankshaft sprocket (Fig. 21). (7) Place balance shaft sprocket into the timing
chain (Fig. 17) so that the timing mark on the
sprocket (yellow dot) mates with the (lower) nickel
plated link on the chain (8) With balance shaft keyways pointing up 12
o'clock) slide the balance shaft sprocket onto the nose
of the balance shaft. The balance shaft may have to
be pushed in slightly to allow for clearance.
THE TIMING MARK ON THE SPROCKET,
THE (LOWER) NICKEL PLATED LINK, AND
THE ARROW ON THE SIDE OF THE GEAR
COVER SHOULD LINE UP WHEN THE BAL-
ANCE SHAFTS ARE TIMED CORRECTLY. (9) If the sprockets are timed correctly install the
balance shaft bolts and tighten to 28 N Im (250 in.
lbs.). A wood block placed between crankcase and
crankshaft counterbalance will prevent crankshaft
and gear rotation.CHAIN TENSIONING
(1) Install chain tensioner loosely assembled.
(2) Position guide on double ended stud making sure
tab on the guide fits into slot on the gear cover. Install
and tighten nut/washer assembly to 12 N Im (105 in.
lbs.). (3) Place a shim 1mm (.039 inch) thick x 70mm (2.75
inch) long or between tensioner and chain. Push ten-
sioner and shim up against the chain. Apply firm
pressure (5.5 to 6.6 lbs.) directly behind the ad-
justment slot to take up all slack (chain must have
shoe radius contact as shown in Fig. 22). (4) With the load applied, tighten top tensioner bolt
first, then bottom pivot bolt. Tighten bolts to 12 N Im
(105 in. lbs.), Remove shim. (5) Install carrier covers and tighten screws to 12
N Im (105 in. lbs.).
INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SERVICE
REMOVAL
CAUTION: The oil pump and distributor must be
removed before attempting to remove intermediate
shaft.
(1) Hold sprocket with Tool C-4687 and adaptor Tool
C-4687-1 when removing or installing screw (Fig. 23). (2) See Timing System and Seals for intermediate
seal removal and replacement. (3) Remove retainer screws (Fig. 24).
(4) Remove retainer and lay aside.
(5) Remove intermediate shaft.Fig. 21 Balance Shaft Timing

INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER IDENTIFICATIONÐFLEXIBLE FUEL AA-BODY
Flexible fuel A-Body vehicles use a unique gauge
cluster. To identify the cluster, remove it from the
instrument panel and check the number on the tag
on the top. If the part number matches the number
in the parts book for flexible fuel A-bodies, the vehi-
cle was built with the correct cluster. Refer to Group
8E, Instrument Panel and Gauges, for cluster re-
moval and installation.
METHANOL CONCENTRATION SENSORÐFLEXIBLE
FUEL AA-BODY
The methanol concentration sensor contains a mi-
croprocessor that determines the percentage of gaso-
line and methanol in the fuel system. From the
methanol concentration sensor input, the powertrain
control module (PCM) determines the amount of
methanol in the fuel. The vehicle can operate on a
mixtures up to 85 percent methanol, 15 percent gas-
oline. The methanol concentration sensor output voltages
varies with the percent of methanol in the fuel sys-
tem. The sensor output voltage (input for PCM)
ranges from 0.5 volts for pure gasoline to 4.75 volts
for 85 percent methanol. For two seconds at key ON
when the operator starts the vehicle, the sensor cal-
ibrates the PCM. During the calibration period the
sensor sends 4.45 volts to the PCM as a correction
factor. The methanol concentration sensor has a built-in
shutdown capability. If the sensor shuts down, it de-
faults to the previous learned value (output voltage
based on methanol percentage of fuel). The methanol concentration sensor attaches to a
bracket at the rear of the fuel tank, next to the fuel
filler tube (Fig. 1).
REMOVAL
WARNING: RELEASE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE

methanol concentration sensor (Fig. 1) (1) Release fuel system pressure. Refer to the Fuel
System Pressure Release Procedure. (2) Disconnect the fuel tubes from sensor. Refer to
Quick Connect Fittings in this section. (3) Disconnect electrical connector from sensor.
(4) Remove mounting nuts.
INSTALLATION

sure test port on the fuel rail (Fig. 2). (4) Place the open end of fuel pressure release
hose, tool number C-4799-1, into an approved gaso-
line container or a container approved for gasoline/
methanol mixtures. Connect the other end of hose
C-4799-1 to the fuel pressure test port (Fig. 3). Fuel
pressure will bleed off through the hose into the gas-
oline container. Fuel gauge C-4799-A contains hose
C-4799-1.

FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
Fuel system pressure is regulated at the fuel rail
or throttle body by a fuel pressure regulator. Refer to
the Fuel System Pressure Chart for pressure specifi-
cations. The chart reflects system pressure when the
pump is energized with the engine not running and
without vacuum applied to the pressure regulator.

The specifications in the Fuel Pressure chart re-
flect system pressure with the vacuum hose removed
from the pressure regulator. (1) Remove the vacuum hose from the pressure
regulator before checking fuel pressure. (2) Release fuel system pressure. Refer to the Fuel
System Pressure Release procedure in this section. (3) Connect Fuel Pressure Gauge C-4799 to service
port on fuel rail (Fig. 6).
CAUTION: When using the ASD Fuel System Test,
the Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay remains energized
for either 7 minutes, until the test is stopped, or un-
til the ignition switch is turned to the Off position.
(4) Place the ignition key in the ON position. Us-
ing the DRBII scan tool, access ASD Fuel System
Test. The ASD Fuel System Test will activate the
fuel pump and pressurize the system. If the gauge reads the specification listed in the
Fuel System Pressure chart, further testing is not re-
quired. If pressure is not correct, record the pressure
and remove gauge. Use the DRBII scan tool ASD
Fuel System Test to pressurize the system. Ensure
fuel does not leak from the fuel rail service valve. In-
stall protective cover on fuel rail service valve. If pressure is below specifications, proceed to Fuel
System Pressure Below Specifications . If pres-
sure is above specifications, proceed to Fuel System
Pressure Above Specifications .
Fuel System Pressure Below Specifications
If the fuel pressure reading in step (4) was below
specifications, test the system according to the fol-
lowing procedure.
WARNING: RELEASE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE

(a) Perform Fuel Pressure Release procedure.
(b) Install Fuel Pressure Gauge C-4799 and Fuel
Pressure Test Adapter 6539 in the fuel supply line

MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS
Mechanical malfunctions are more difficult to diag-
nose with this system. The powertrain control mod-

malfunctions. If engine performance problems are en-
countered, and no fault codes are displayed, the prob-
lem may be mechanical rather than electronic.
