Fuel Injection I
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor,
testing
The ECT sensor is located on the front of the engine in the
coolant~thermostat flange. The ECT sensor is a dual temper-
ature sensor. One circuit provides coolant temperature infor-
mation to the ECM while the other circuit provides coolant
temperature information to the instrument cluster.
The ECM determines the correct ignition timing and
airlfuel
mixture required for the engine by monitoring an applied volt-
age
(5 vdc) to the sensor. Thevoltage drop across the sensor
varies as the coolant temperature (sensor resistance) chang-
es.
NOTE-
The ECT sensor is an NTC (negative temperature coeffi-
cient) type sensor. In other words, as the temperature rises,
resistance through the sensor decreases.
If the ETC sensor input is faulty or non-plausible, the MIL is il-
luminated when OBD
II fault criteria are exceeded. The ECM
assumes a substitute value
(80" C/ 176°F) to maintain engine
operation. The ignition timing is set to a
conse~ativelsafe ba-
sic setting.
Disconnect harness from
ECTsensor (A) at coolant flange at
front of engine.
- Check ECT sensor resistance using a multimeter at sensor
terminals
3 and 4. Peel back protective boot (B) to ID termi-
nal numbers on connector housing.

- Disconnect ECT sensor harness.
- Unscrew ECT sensor from cylinder head and install new sen-
sor.
Use new copper sealing washers when installing sensor.
Replace any lost coolant.

I Oxygen sensors, replacing
4 Four Bosch oxygen sensors (2 precatalytic converter sen-
sors and
2 post-catalytic converter sensors) provide a vary-
ing voltage signal
[0.2 vdc (max. lean) to 0.8 vdc (max. rich)]
to the ME
7.2 ECM representing oxygen content in the ex-
haust gas.
WARNING-
Exhaust manifolds and pipes can be hot enough to cause se-
rious burns. Wear suitable heavy gloves and other appropri-
ate protection.
- Using a special oxygen sensor socltet, remove the threaded
sensors from the exhaust system.
- If not already applied, coat the new oxygen sensor threads
with an anti-seize compound before installation. Do not get
compound on the sensor tip.
Tightening torque
Oxygen sensor to exhaust system
50 Nm (37 ft-lb)
Fuel injectors, removing and installing
The ME 7.2 system uses ball seat type fuel injectors. This de-
sign
prov:des precise seal'ng when the iniector is closed
therebv eiminalinq raw HC (unb~rned fue ) formalion in tne
intake.-~he fuel inkctors areswitched on and off by the ECM
at the ground side.
- Remove plastic cover from above fuel rail. See100 Engine
Removal and Installation.
- Disconnected battery negative (-) cable.
CAUTION-
Prior to disconnecting the battea read the battery discon-
nection cautions given at the front of this manual. See 001
General Warnings and Cautions.
- Remove both ignition coil covers.
Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
Remove left and right ignition coil ground wires,
4 Remove fuel injector loom boxes.
Loosen mounting fasteners
(A).
Disconnect electrical plugs (B and D).

Steering and Wheel Alignment
- Tighten nut while counterholding adjusting bolt,
- Tighten nut only after car has been lowered to ground and
suspension has settled.
Preparing for alignment
- The following conditions are necessary prior to wheel align-
ment:
Correct wheels and tires are installed, in good condition,
and are at the correct inflation pressures.
All steering and suspension parts and bushings are un-
damaged and show no signs of abnormal wear. Wheel
bearings are in good condition.
Ride height is in accordance with specifications. See
300
Suspension, Steering and Brakes-General.
Car is in normal loaded position. See below.
* Cars with air suspension: Remove air suspension power
fuse.
