THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
The TPS mounts to the side of the throttle body
(Fig. 13).
The TPS connects to the throttle blade shaft. The
TPS is a variable resistor that provides the Power-
train Control Module (PCM) with an input signal
(voltage). The signal represents throttle blade posi-
tion. As the position of the throttle blade changes,
the resistance of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the
TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
powertrain control module) represents throttle blade
position. The TPS output voltage to the PCM varies
from approximately 0.40 volt at minimum throttle
opening (idle) to a maximum of 3.80 volts at wide
open throttle.
Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM
uses the TPS input to determine current engine oper-
ating conditions. The PCM also adjusts fuel injector
pulse width and ignition timing based on these
inputs.
LOCK KEY CYLINDER
The lock cylinder is inserted in the end of the
housing opposite the ignition switch. The ignition key
rotates the cylinder to 5 different detents (Fig. 14):
²Accessory
²Off (lock)
²Unlock
²On/Run
²Start
KNOCK SENSOR
The knock sensor threads into the side of the cyl-
inder block in front of the starter motor. When the
knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders,
it sends an input signal to the PCM. In response, the
PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a
scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material
which constantly vibrates and sends an input voltage
(signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the
intensity of the crystal's vibration increase, the knock
sensor output voltage also increases.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
FIRING ORDERÐ2.4L
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The PCM determines what cylinder to fire from the
crankshaft position sensor input and the camshaft
position sensor input. The second crankshaft counter-
weight has machined into it two sets of four timing
reference notches and a 60 degree signature notch
(Fig. 1). From the crankshaft position sensor input
the PCM determines engine speed and crankshaft
angle (position).The notches generate pulses from high to low in
the crankshaft position sensor output voltage. When
a metal portion of the counterweight aligns with the
crankshaft position sensor, the sensor output voltage
goes low (less than 0.3 volts). When a notch aligns
with the sensor, voltage switches high (5.0 volts). As
a group of notches pass under the sensor, the output
voltage switches from low (metal) to high (notch)
then back to low.
If available, an oscilloscope can display the square
wave patterns of each voltage pulse. From the width
of the output voltage pulses, the PCM calculates
engine speed. The width of the pulses represent the
amount of time the output voltage stays high before
switching back to low. The period of time the sensor
output voltage stays high before switching back to
low is referred to as pulse width. The faster the

engine is operating, the smaller the pulse width on
the oscilloscope.
By counting the pulses and referencing the pulse
from the 60 degree signature notch, the PCM calcu-
lates crankshaft angle (position). In each group of
timing reference notches, the first notch represents
69 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). The sec-
ond notch represents 49 degrees BTDC. The third
notch represents 29 degrees. The last notch in each
set represents 9 degrees before top dead center
(TDC).
The timing reference notches are machined to a
uniform width representing 13.6 degrees of crank-
shaft rotation. From the voltage pulse width the
PCM tells the difference between the timing refer-
ence notches and the 60 degree signature notch. The
60 degree signature notch produces a longer pulse
width than the smaller timing reference notches. If
the camshaft position sensor input switches from
high to low when the 60 degree signature notch
passes under the crankshaft position sensor, the
PCM knows cylinder number one is the next cylinder
at TDC.
The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the
engine block behind the generator, near the oil filter
(Fig. 8).
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization
and cylinder identification from inputs provided by
the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position
sensor. From the two inputs, the PCM determines
crankshaft position.The camshaft position sensor attaches to the rear
of the cylinder head (Fig. 2). A target magnet
attaches to the rear of the camshaft and indexes to
the correct position (Fig. 3). 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. 4).
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.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORÐ2.4L
The intake air temperature sensor measures the
temperature of the air as it enters the engine. The
sensor supplies one of the inputs the PCM uses to
determine injector pulse width and spark advance.
The intake air temperature sensor threads into the
intake manifold (Fig. 5).

GENERAL INFORMATION
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS
There are numerous places where form-in-place
gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken
when applying form-in-place gaskets.Do not use
form-in-place gasket material unless specified.
Bead size, continuity, and location are of great impor-
tance. Too thin a bead can result in leakage while too
much can result in spill-over, a continuous bead of
the proper width is essential to obtain a leak-free
joint.
Two types of form-in-place gasket materials are
used in the engine.MopartSilicone Rubber Adhe-
sive Sealant andMopartGasket Maker, (anaerobic)
each have different properties and cannot be used
interchangeably.
CAUTION: Silicone sealer and anaerobic sealers
each will inhibit the cure of the other and care
should be taken to keep usages separated as much
as possible.
MOPARTSILICONE RUBBER ADHESIVE
SEALANT
MopartSilicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant or
equivalent, normally black in color, is available in
three ounce tubes. Moisture in the air causes the
MopartSilicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant material
to cure. This material is normally used on flexible
metal flanges. It has a shelf life of one year and will
not properly cure if over age. Always inspect the
package for the expiration date before use.
MOPARTGASKET MAKER
MopartGasket Maker is an anaerobic type gasket
material normally red in color. The material cures in
the absence of air when squeezed between two metal-
lic surfaces. It will not cure if left in the uncovered
tube. It is normally red in color. The anaerobic mate-
rial is for use between two machined surfaces. Do not
use on flexible metal flanges.
MOPARTTORQUE CURE GASKET MAKER
MopartTorque Cure Gasket Maker is a unique
anaerobic type gasket material to be usedONLY
between the bedplate and engine block. The material
cures in the absence of air when torqued between
two metallic surfaces. It will not cure if left in the
uncovered tube. This anaerobic material is specially
