front) until .60 mm is indicated on the dial indica-
tor gauge.
(c) Tighten the three pump mounting nuts to 30
N´m (22 ft. lbs.) torque.

on cylinder number one is equipped with a fuel injector
sensor (Fig. 47). The other three fuel injectors are iden-
tical.
Do not place the fuel injector equipped with
the fuel injector sensor into any other location
except the cylinder number one position.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable at battery.
(2) Thoroughly clean the area around the injector
with compressed air.
(3) Remove the fuel drain hoses (tubes) at each
injector (Fig. 48) being serviced. Each of these hoses
is slip±fit to the fitting on injector.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)
Connect the DVM between the center and sensor
ground terminal. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Dia-
grams for correct pinout.
With the ignition switch in the ON position, check
the output voltage at the center terminal wire of the
connector. Check the output voltage at idle and at
Wide-Open-Throttle (WOT). At idle, TPS output volt-
age should be approximately 0.38 volts to 1.2 volts.
At wide open throttle, TPS output voltage should be
approximately 3.1 volts to 4.4 volts. The output volt-
age should gradually increase as the throttle plate
moves slowly from idle to WOT.
Check for spread terminals at the sensor and PCM
connections before replacing the TPS.
THROTTLE BODY MINIMUM AIR FLOW
(1) Turn ignition key to Off.
(2) D
isconnect the PCV valve hose from the intake
manifold nipple (Fig. 31). Cap the PCV vacuum nipple.
(3) Disconnect purge hose from the nipple on the
throttle body (Fig. 32).(4) Use a piece of hose to attach Air Metering Ori-
fice 6457 (0.125 in. orifice) to the purge nipple on the
throttle body (Fig. 33).
(5) Ensure that all accessories are off.
(6) Connect the DRB scan tool to the data link
connector inside the passenger compartment.
(7) Run engine in Park or Neutral until the cooling
fan has cycled on and off at least once (180ÉF).
(8) Using the DRB scan tool, access Minimum Air-
flow Idle Speed.
(9) The following will then occur:
²Idle air control motor will fully close
²Idle spark advance will become fixed
²PCM will go open loop enriched
²DRB scan tool displays engine RPM
(10) If idle RPM is within the range shown in the
Idle Specification chart, throttle body minimum air-
flow is set correctly.IDLE SPECIFICATION Ð2.0L ENGINE
Odometer Reading Idle RPM
Below 1000 Miles...............550±1300 RPM
Above 1000 Miles...............600±1300 RPM
(11) If idle RPM is above specifications, use the
DRB scan tool to check idle air control motor opera-
tion. If idle air control motor is OK, replace throttle
body. If idle air flow is below specification, shut off
the engine and clean the throttle body as follows:

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
The Boost Pressure Sensor is mounted to the top of
the intake manifold. (Fig. 2) It is a sensor that mea-
sures both manifold vacuum and turbo boost, and it
also contains an integrated intake air temperature
sensor. The Boost Pressure Sensor takes the place of
the Mass Air Flow (MAF). In the Intake Air Temper-
ature Sensor component, there is a ceramic element
that changes its resistance based on temperature.
The ceramic element is part of an electronic circuit
connected to the PCM, and has a voltage applied to
it. The ceramic element is exposed to the air inside
the intake. This air has a cooling effect on the
ceramic element, and its resistance changes. This
causes the voltage flowing through the intake air
temperature circuit to vary. The voltage signal pro-
duced by the Intake Air Temperature Sensor changes
inversely to the temperature, and is measured by the
PCM. As a general rule, when the temperature of the
air in the intake is high, the voltage signal produced
by the Intake Air Temperature Sensor is low. The
component of the Boost Pressure Sensor that mea-
sures manifold vacuum and turbo boost produces a
voltage signal that is proportional to the pressure in
the inake manifold. When the intake manifold pres-
sure is low, the voltage is low, and when the pressure
is high, the voltage is high. The PCM uses the volt-
age signals from the Boost Pressure Sensor, and the
Intake Air Temperature Sensor to determine the
amount of air flowing through the intake manifold.
VEHICLE THEFT ALARM
The PCM can learn if the vehicle has a Vehicle
Theft Alarm (VTA) system. Once it detects the vehi-
cle having VTA,the controller can ONLY BE
USED ON VEHICLES WITH VTA.If the PCM is put it on a vehicle without VTA the
Glow Plug Lamp will start to blink and the vehicle
will not start.
The PCM cannot be flashed to remove the VTA.
BATTERY VOLTAGEÐPCM INPUT
The battery voltage input provides power to the
PCM. It also informs the PCM what voltage level is
being supplied by the generator once the vehicle is
running.
The battery input also provides the voltage that is
needed to keep the PCM memory alive. The memory
stores Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) messages.
Trouble codes will still be stored even if the battary
voltage is lost.
SENSOR RETURNÐPCM INPUT (ANALOG
GROUND)
Sensor Return provides a low noise Analog ground
reference for all system sensors.
SIGNAL GROUNDÐPCM INPUT
Signal ground provides a low noise ground to the
data link connector.
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSEÐPCM INPUT
The ignition circuit sense input signals the PCM
that the ignition (key) switch has been turned to the
ON position. This signal initiates the glow plug con-
trol routine to begin the ªpre±heatº cycle.
START SIGNALÐPCM INPUT
This input tells the PCM that the engine starter is
being operated. This in turn will start the glow plug
ªpost±heatº cycle.
POWER GROUND
Provides a common ground for power devices (sole-
noid and relay devices).
NEEDLE MOVEMENT OR INSTRUMENTED FIRST
INJECTORÐPCM INPUT
This input from the PCM supplies a constant 30
mA electrical current source for the first injector sen-
sor. It will vary the voltage to this sensor when it
senses a mechanical movement within the injector
needle (pintle) of the number±1 cylinder fuel injector.
When this voltage has been determined by the PCM,
it will then control an output to the fuel timing sole-
noid (the fuel timing solenoid is located on the fuel
injection pump). Also refer to Fuel Injection Pump for
additional information.
The first injector sensor is a magnetic (inductive)
type.
