GENERAL INFORMATION
All 2.5L 4-cylinder and 4.0L 6-cylinder engines are
equipped with sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection
(MFI). The MFI system provides precise air/fuel ra-
tios for all driving conditions.
VISUAL INSPECTION
A visual inspection for loose, disconnected, or incor-
rectly routed wires and hoses should be made. This
should be done before attempting to diagnose or ser-
vice the fuel injection system. A visual check will
help spot these faults and save unnecessary test and
diagnostic time. A thorough visual inspection will in-
clude the following checks:
(1) Verify that the 60-way connector is fully in-
serted into the connector of the powertrain control
module (PCM) (Figs. 1 or 2). Verify that the connec-
tor mounting bolt is tightened to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.)
torque.(2) Inspect the battery cable connections. Be sure
they are clean and tight.
(3) Inspect fuel pump relay and air conditioning
compressor clutch relay (if equipped). Inspect ASD
relay and radiator fan relay (if equipped) connec-
tions. Inspect starter motor relay connections. In-
spect relays for signs of physical damage and
corrosion. The relays are installed in the power dis-
tribution center (PDC) (Figs. 3 or 4).
(4) Inspect ignition coil connections. Verify that coil
secondary cable is firmly connected to coil (Figs. 5 or
6).
(5) Verify that distributor cap is correctly attached
to distributor. Be sure that spark plug cables are
firmly connected to the distributor cap and the spark
plugs in their correct firing order. Be sure that coil
cable is firmly connected to distributor cap and coil.
Be sure that camshaft position sensor wire connector
is firmly connected to harness connector (Figs. 7 or
8). Inspect spark plug condition. Refer to Group 8D,

JFUEL SYSTEM GENERAL DIAGNOSIS 14 - 35
(18) Inspect engine ground strap connections at
dash panel and rear cylinder head bolt (Fig. 20). For
ground locations, refer to Group 8, Wiring.
(19) Verify that MAP sensor electrical connector is
firmly connected to MAP sensor (Fig. 21). Verify that
vacuum hose is firmly connected to MAP sensor and
to the intake manifold.
(20) Verify that fuel injector wire harness connec-
tors are firmly connected to the fuel injectors in the
correct order. Each harness connector is tagged with
the number of its corresponding fuel injector (Fig.
22).
(21) Verify that harness connectors are firmly con-
nected to idle air control (IAC) motor and throttle po-
sition sensor (TPS) (Figs. 18, 19 or 23).
(22) Verify that wire harness connector is firmly
connected to the engine coolant temperature sensor
(Fig. 24).
(23) Verify that oxygen sensor wire connector is
firmly connected to the sensor. Inspect sensor and
connector for damage (Fig. 25).
(24) Raise and support the vehicle.(25) Inspect for pinched or leaking fuel tubes. In-
spect for pinched cracked or leaking fuel hoses.
(26) Inspect for exhaust system restrictions such
as pinched exhaust pipes, collapsed muffler or

AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN (ASD) RELAY TESTING
To perform a complete test of the ASD relay and its
circuitry, refer to the DRB scan tool and appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To test
the relay only, refer to RelaysÐOperation/Testing in
this section of the group.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TEST
Refer to Group 8D, Ignition Systems, for Camshaft
Position Sensor testing.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST
To perform a complete test of the engine coolant
temperature sensor and its circuitry, refer to DRB
scan tool and appropriate Powertrain Diagnostics
Procedures manual. To test the sensor only, refer to
the following:
Disconnect wire harness connector from engine
coolant temperature sensor (Fig. 33).
Test the resistance of the sensor with a high input
impedance (digital) volt-ohmmeter. The resistance
should be less than 1000 ohms with the engine at its
correct operating temperature. Refer to the Coolant
Temperature Sensor/Manifold Air Temperature Sen-
sor resistance chart. Replace the sensor if it is not
within the range of resistance specified in the chart.
Test continuity of the wire harness. Do this be-
tween the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) wire
harness connector terminal-2 and the sensor connec-
tor terminal. Also test continuity of wire harness ter-
minal-4 to the sensor connector terminal. Repair the
wire harness if an open circuit is indicated.
INTAKE MANIFOLD AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
TEST
To perform a complete test of the sensor and its cir-
cuitry, refer to DRB scan tool and appropriate Pow-ertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To test the
sensor only, refer to the following:
Disconnect the wire harness connector from the in-
take manifold air temperature sensor (Figs. 34 or
35).
Test the resistance of the sensor with an input im-
pedance (digital) volt-ohmmeter. The resistance
should be less than 4000 ohms with the engine at op-
erating temperature. The longer the engine idles, the
warmer the intake manifold temperature will be-
come. Refer to the Coolant Temperature Sensor/Man-
ifold Air Temperature Sensor resistance chart.
Replace the sensor if it is not within the range of re-
sistance specified in the chart.
