INTRODUCTION
Throughout this group, references may be made to
a particular vehicle by letter or number designation.
A chart showing the breakdown of these designations
is included in the Introduction Section at the front of
this service manual.
The Evaporation Control System, is also considered
part of the fuel system. The system reduces the emis-
sion of fuel vapor into the atmosphere.
The description and function of the Evaporation
Control System is found in Group 25 of this manual.
PCM REPLACEMENT
USE THE DRB SCAN TOOL TO REPROGRAM
THE NEW PCM WITH THE VEHICLES ORIGI-
NAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) AND
THE VEHICLES ORIGINAL MILEAGE. IF THIS
STEP IS NOT DONE A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODE (DTC) MAY BE SET.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Your vehicle was designed to meet all emission reg-
ulations and provide excellent fuel economy when
using high quality unleaded gasoline.
Use unleaded gasolines having a minimum posted
octane of 87.
If your vehicle develops occasional light spark
knock (ping) at low engine speeds this is not harm-
ful. However; continued heavy knock at high speeds
can cause damage and should be reported to your
dealer immediately. Engine damage as a result of
heavy knock operation may not be covered by the
new vehicle warranty.
In addition to using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, those that contain detergents,
corrosion and stability additives are recommended.
Using gasolines that have these additives will help
improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, and main-
tain vehicle performance.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as
hard starting, stalling, and stumble. If you experi-
ence these problems, try another brand of gasoline
before considering service for the vehicle.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM
The front wheel drive van uses a plastic fuel tank
located on the left side of the vehicle.
The Fuel Delivery System consists of: the electric
fuel pump module, fuel filter, tubes/lines/hoses, fuel
rail, and fuel injectors.
The in-tank fuel pump module contains the fuel
pump and pressure regulator. The pump is serviced
as part of the fuel pump module. Refer to Fuel Pump
Module.
The fuel filter is a replaceable in-line filter. The fil-
ter attaches to a bracket mounted on top of the fuel
tank. Refer to the Maintenance Schedules in the
Introduction section of this manual for recommended
fuel filter replacement intervals.
A returnless fuel system is used on all vehicles.
Fuel is returned through the fuel pump module and
back to the fuel tank. A separate fuel return line
from the tank to the engine is no longer used.
FUEL PUMP MODULE
The fuel pump module is installed in the top of the
fuel tank (Fig. 1). The fuel pump module contains the
following:
²Electric fuel pump
²Fuel pump reservoir
²Inlet strainer²Fuel pressure regulator
²Fuel gauge sending unit
²Fuel supply line connection
The inlet strainer, fuel pressure regulator
and fuel level sensor are the only serviceable
items. If the fuel pump or electrical wiring har-
ness requires service, replace the fuel pump
module.
ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP
The electric fuel pump is located in and is part of
the fuel pump module. It is a positive displacement,
gerotor type, immersible pump with a permanent
magnet electric motor. The pump draws fuel through
a strainer and pushes it through the motor to the
outlet. The pump contains one check valve. The

When metal aligns with the sensor, voltage goes
low (less than 0.5 volts). When a notch aligns with
the sensor, voltage spikes high (5.0 volts). As a group
of notches pass under the sensor, the voltage
switches from low (metal) to high (notch) then back
to low. The number of notches determine the amount
of pulses. If available, an oscilloscope can display the
square wave patterns of each timing events.
Top dead center (TDC) does not occur when
notches on the camshaft sprocket pass below the cyl-
inder. TDC occurs after the camshaft pulse (or
pulses) and after the 4 crankshaft pulses associated
with the particular cylinder. The arrows and cylinder
call outs on Figure 4 represent which cylinder the
flat spot and notches identify, they do not indicate
TDC position.The camshaft position sensor is mounted to the top
of the timing case cover (Fig. 4). The bottom of the
sensor is positioned above the camshaft sprocket.
The distance between the bottom of sensor and
the camshaft sprocket is critical to the opera-
tion of the system. When servicing the camshaft
position sensor, refer to the 3.3L and 3.8L Multi-
Port Fuel InjectionÐService Procedures sec-
tion in this Group.
2.4L
The camshaft position sensor attaches to the rear
of the cylinder head (Fig. 5). A target magnet
attaches to the rear of the camshaft and indexes to
the correct position (Fig. 6). The target magnet has
four different poles arranged in an asymmetrical pat-
tern. As the target magnet rotates, the camshaft
position sensor senses the change in polarity (Fig. 7).
The sensor output switch switches from high (5.0
volts) to low (0.30 volts) as the target magnet rotates.
When the north pole of the target magnet passes
under the sensor, the output switches high. The sen-
sor output switches low when the south pole of the
target magnet passes underneath.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTIONÐ2.5L DIESEL
Certain components of the fuel system on the 2.5L
diesel engine are controlled by the Bosch Engine con-
troller which is a Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Refer to Powertrain Control Module in the Fuel
Injection SystemÐ2.5L Diesel Engine section of this
group for a list of items controlled by the PCM. The
Body Control Module (BCM) is mounted to a bracket
located inside the vehicle under the dashpanel to the
left of the steering column (Fig. 1). The PCM is
mounted at the base of the center console in front of
the Air Bag Module. (Fig. 2).
TheFuel Systemconsists of: the fuel tank, fuel
injection pump (engine mounted), fuel filter/water
separator, fuel tank module, electrical fuel gauge
sending unit, glow plugs, glow plug relay, PCM, and
all the electrical components that control the fuel
system. It also consists of fuel tubes/lines/hoses and
fittings, vacuum hoses, and fuel injector(s).
AFuel Return System.A separate fuel return
system is used. This will route excess fuel: from the
fuel injectors; through individual injector drain
tubes; through the fuel injection pump overflow
valve; and back to the fuel tank through a separate
fuel line.TheFuel Tank Assemblyconsists of: the fuel
tank, two pressure relief/rollover valves, fuel filler
tube, fuel tank module containing a fuel gauge send-
ing unit, and a pressure-vacuum filler cap.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
This Fuel Delivery section will cover components
not controlled by the PCM. For components con-
trolled by the PCM, refer to the Fuel Injection Sys-
temÐ2.5L Diesel Engine section of this group.
The fuel heater relay, fuel heater and fuel gauge
are not operated by the PCM. These components are
controlled by the ignition (key) switch. All other fuel
system electrical components necessary to operate
the engine are controlled or regulated by the PCM.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE WARNING
WARNING: HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LINES DELIVER
DIESEL FUEL UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE FROM
THE INJECTION PUMP TO THE FUEL INJECTORS.
THIS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 45,000 KPA (6526 PSI).
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING FORHIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. INSPECT FOR
HIGH±PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF
CARDBOARD (Fig. 1). HIGH FUEL INJECTION
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF
CONTACT IS MADE WITH THE SKIN.
FUEL TANK
The fuel tank and tank mounting used with the
diesel powered engine is the same as used with gas-
oline powered models, although the fuel tank module
is different.
The fuel tank contains the fuel tank module and
two rollover valves. Two fuel lines are routed to the
fuel tank module. One line is used for fuel supply to
the fuel filter/water separator. The other is used to
return excess fuel back to the fuel tank.
The fuel tank module contains the fuel gauge elec-
trical sending unit.An electrical fuel pump is not
used with the diesel engine.
