Ignition System
V6 Engine AJ-V6/AJ28
30cylinder heads and the upper intake manifold
assembly.
The injectors are of the top fed, split spray type
and are supplied from a common fuel rail
assembly which bolts to the lower manifold. The
integral fuel rail consists of an upper delivery pipe
and a lower pipe with six takeoff feeds for the
injectors. The IP sensor is bolted to a flange at the
junction of the two pipes and has an electrical
connection to the fuel rail harness and a vacuum
feed from the intake manifold. A steel cross-over
pipe provides the coupling to the vehicle
mounted fuel line and also carries the EFT sensor,
on a bracket, and the de-pressurisation valve. The
cross-over pipe is connected to the fuel rail via a
semi-rigid length of pipe.
All fuel injectors and sensors use a common
electrical harness with a single multi-way
connection to the main engine harness.
Six coil-on-plug ignition units fit directly on to the
spark plugs. The ignition units are driven by the
PCM and do not contain integral amplifiers.

Generator
The 120AH generator is fitted with a special casing
to enable it to be bolted directly to the engine via
three fixing points.
On the manual transmission vehicles, sudden
deceleration may result in generator momentum
driving the belt against the engine which is
slowing down, with possible effects on the life of
the drive belt. The generator pulley fitted to the
manual transmission vehicle incorporates a clutch
mechanism which allows it to freewheel in the
reverse drive (anti-clockwise) direction. Note that
a special tool is required to remove the pulley.
To improve generator control on all
engine/transmission variants, the generator now
has a four pin connector to provide two new
sensing signals:
¥ pin S is directly connected to the battery to
provide voltage feedback to the regulator
¥ the regulator senses field current and
produces a PWM signal from pin FR to the
PCM to indicate the generator duty cycle.

Drive Belt Tensioner
The drive belt tensioner is a similar type to that
fitted to the V8 engines. An index on the
tensioned arm rotates with wear against three
markings on the tensioner spring cap which
indicate the minimum and maximum lengths for a
new belt and the point at which the belt must be
replaced.

Construction and Operation
The transmission housing consists of a one piece
die cast aluminium case with re-inforcement ribs
to minimise noise, vibration, and harshness
(NVH). To allow for the different physical size of
the engines, there are two transmission variants
with different overall lengths and bell housings to
match the respective engines, the V8 variant being
shorter. Different torque converters are necessary
and the V8 variant is also fitted with an adaptorplate to mate the torque converter to the larger
diameter drive plate on the V8 engine.
The main features of the transmission unit are :
¥ torque converter with a twin friction face
lock-up clutch and torsional damper
¥ geartrain consisting of three epicyclic gearsets
¥ shift elements consisting of multi-plate
clutches, brakes and one way clutches
¥ control actuators: four shift solenoids, three
variable force solenoids and a PWM 5R55N AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
