1996 CHRYSLER VOYAGER Service Manual

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRAIN WATER
FROM THE FILTER/SEPARATOR WITH THE ENGINE
HOT.
(1) The bottom of the filter/separator bowl is
equipped with a drain valve (Fig. 29). The drain
valve is equipped with a fitting. Attach a piece of
rubber hose to this fitting. This hose is to be used as
a drain hose.
(2) Place a drain pan under the drain hose.
(3) With the engine not running, open the drain
valve (unscrewÐdrain valve has right hand threads)
from the filter/separator bowl. To gain access to this
fitting, the two filter±to±mounting bracket nuts (Fig.
29) may have to be loosened a few turns.
(4) Hold the drain open until clean fuel exits the
drain.
(5) After draining, close drain valve.
(6) Remove rubber drain hose.
(7) Dispose of mixture in drain pan according to
applicable local or federal regulations.
FUEL FILTER REMOVAL
(1) Drain all fuel and/or water from fuel filter/wa-
ter separator assembly. Refer to the previous Drain-
ing Water From Filter Bowl.
(2) Unplug the electrical connectors at bottom of
plastic bowl.
(3) Remove plastic bowl from bottom of fuel filter
(unscrews).
(4) Remove fuel filter from bottom of filter base
(unscrews).
FUEL FILTER INSTALLATION
(1) Clean bottom of fuel filter base.
(2) Apply clean diesel fuel to new fuel filter gasket.
(3) Install and tighten filter to filter base. The bev-
eled part of the rubber gasket should be facing up
towards the filter base.
(4) Clean the inside of bowl with a soap and water
mixture before installation. Carefully clean any resi-
due between the two metal probes at the top of the
water±in±fuel sensor. Do not use chemical cleaners
as damage to the plastic bowl may result.
(5) Pour diesel fuel into the plastic bowl before
installing bowl to bottom of fuel filter. Do this to help
prevent air from entering fuel injection pump while
attempting to starting engine.
(6) Install filter bowl to bottom of filter.
(7) Install the electrical connectors at bottom of
bowl.
(8) Tighten the filter±to±mounting bracket nuts
(Fig. 29) to 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.) torque.
FUEL HEATER
If the fuel heater element needs replacement, the
plastic filter bowl assembly must be replaced. Refer
to Fuel Filter/Water Separator for information.
FUEL HEATER RELAY
The fuel heater relay is located in the PDC. For
the location of the relay within the PDC (Fig. 30),
refer to label on PDC cover.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
REMOVAL
Remove fuel reservoir module. Refer to Fuel Reser-
voir Module in this section.
(1) Depress retaining tab and remove the level
sensor connector from theBOTTOMof the fuel mod-
ule electrical connector (Fig. 31).
NOTE: The pump module harness on TOP of flange
is not serviceable or removable.
(2) Pull off blue locking wedge (Fig. 32).
(3) Using a small screwdriver lift locking finger
away from terminal and push terminal out of connec-
tor (Fig. 33).
(4) Push level sensor signal and ground terminals
out of the connector (Fig. 34).(5) Insert a screwdriver between the fuel module
and the top of the level sensor housing (Fig. 35).
Push level sensor down slightly.
(6) Slide level sensor wires through opening fuel
module (Fig. 36).
(7) Slide level sensor out of installation channel in
module.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

INSTALLATION
(1) Insert level sensor wires into bottom of opening
in module.
(2) Wrap wires into groove in back of level sensor
(Fig. 37).
(3) While feeding wires into guide grooves, slide
level sensor up into channel until it snaps into place
(Fig. 38). Ensure tab at bottom of sensor locks in
place.
(4) Install level sensor wires in connector. Push
the wires up through the connector and then pull
them down until they lock in place. Ensure signal
and ground wires are installed in the correct posi-
tion.
(5) Install locking wedge on connector.
(6) Push connector up into bottom of fuel module
electrical connector.
(7) Install fuel module. Refer to Fuel Reservoir
Module in this section.FUEL INJECTION PUMP
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable at battery.
(2) Thoroughly clean the area around the injection
pump and fuel lines of all dirt, grease and other con-
taminants.Due to the close internal tolerances
of the injection pump, this step must be per-
formed before removing pump.
(3) Remove the engine accessory drive belt. Refer
to Group 7, Cooling System for procedures.
(4) Remove the generator assembly.
(5) Remove the rubber fuel return and supply
hoses from metal lines at pump (Fig. 39).
(6) Remove the electrical connector at engine cool-
ant temperature sensor (Fig. 40).
(7) Disconnect the Fuel Injection Pump electrical
connector at fuel pump. (Fig. 39).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

(8) Disconnect the main engine wiring harness
from the glow plugs.
(9) Disconnect the four high±pressure fuel lines
from the fuel injection pump. Also disconnect fuel
lines at the fuel injectors. For procedures, refer to
High±Pressure Fuel Lines in this group. Place a rag
beneath the fittings to catch excess fuel.
(10) Remove plug from timing gear cover.
(11) The ªTop Dead Centerº (TDC) compression fir-
ing stroke must be determined as follows:
(a) Remove the valve cover, refer to Group 9,
Valve Cover Removal/Installation.
(b) Remove the right front tire and splash
shield. Using a socket attached to the end of crank-
shaft, rotate the engine (counterÐclockwise as
viewed from front).
(c) Rotate the engine until cylinder #4 rockers
are in between movement.
(d) Remove rocker arm assembly.
(e) Remove valve spring and keepers.CAU-
TION: When the piston is at TDC there is only
2 mm (.080 thousand) clearance between the
valve and piston.
(f) Let the valve set on top of piston. Install a
dial indicator to the top of the valve stem.
(g) Rotate engine back and forth to find the TDC
position with the indicator on the valve stem. Mark
the damper and timing cover for TDC.
NOTE: On later model 1997 engines, a hole in the
bottom of the clutch housing can be lined up with a
hole in the flywheel, allowing the engine to be held
at TDC with a special alignment tool, part # VM1035.(12) Remove injection pump drive gear nut (Fig.
41) and washer.CAUTION: Be very careful not to
drop the washer into the timing gear cover.
(13) A special 3±piece gear removal tool set
VM.1003 (Fig. 42) must be used to remove the injec-
tion pump drive gear from the pump shaft.
(a) Thread the adapter (Fig. 43) into the timing
cover.
(b) Thread the gear puller into the injection
pump drive gear (Fig. 43). This tool is also used to
hold the gear in synchronization during pump
removal.
(c) Remove the three injection pump±to±gear
cover mounting nuts (Fig. 44).CAUTION: This
step must be done to prevent breakage of the
