FUEL DELIVERY
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The front wheel drive car uses a plastic fuel tank
located rear center of the vehicle.
The Fuel Delivery System consists of: the following
items:
²Electric fuel pump module
²Fuel filter
²Tubes/lines/hoses
²Fuel injectors
The in-tank fuel pump module contains the fuel
pump. The pump is serviced as part of the fuel pump
module. Refer to Fuel Pump Module.
The fuel filter is replaceable, it is mounted on the
outside, on top of, the fuel tank. Refer to the Main-
tenance Schedules in the Introduction section of this
manual for recommended fuel filter replacement
intervals.
DESCRIPTION - FFV REPLACEMENT PARTS
Many components in a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV)
are designed to be compatible with ethanol. Always
be sure that the vehicle is serviced with correct etha-
nol compatible parts.
CAUTION: Replacing fuel system components with
non-ethanol compatible components can damage
your vehicle and may void the warranty.
OPERATION
The fuel system provides fuel pressure by an
in-tank pump module. The PCM controls the opera-
tion of the fuel system by providing battery voltage
to the fuel pump through the fuel pump relay. The
PCM requires only three inputs and a good ground to
operate the fuel pump relay. The three inputs are:²Ignition voltage
²Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
²Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL DELIVERY
SYSTEM
(Refer to Appropriate Diagnostic Information)
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FUEL SYSTEM
PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE
(1) Remove Fuel Pump relay from Power Distribu-
tion Center (PDC). For location of relay, refer to label
on underside of PDC cover.
(2) Start and run engine until it stalls.
(3) Attempt restarting engine until it will no
longer run.
(4) Turn ignition key to OFF position.
(5) Return fuel pump relay to PDC.
(6) One or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's)
may have been stored in PCM memory due to fuel
pump relay removal. The DRB IIItscan tool must be
used to erase a DTC.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - DRAINING FUEL
TANK
(1) Release fuel system pressure, refer to the Fuel
System Release Procedure in this section.
(2) Insert a 1/4 inch siphon (max. O. D. 5/16) hose
from a portable fuel siphoning tank through the fuel
filler neck opening into the fuel tank. Hose most
have a 30 degree angle cut on the end to bypass the
check valve in the end of the filler neck. Refer to the
siphoning tank's Manufacturing Instructions.
(3) Drain fuel from fuel tank into siphoning tank.

FUEL FILTER
REMOVAL
(1) Release fuel pressure, refer to the Fuel release
procedure in this section.
(2) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(3) Raise vehicle and support.
(4) Support the fuel tank with a transmission jack.
(5) Remove fuel line from the front of the tank.
(6) Remove ground strap
(7) Remove the inboard side of the fuel tank straps
and front T strap fastner.
(8) Lower the tank about 6 inches (Fig. 1).
(9) Remove fuel lines from the fuel pump module.
(10) Remove fuel filter from tank.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install fuel filter to tank. Tighten bolt to 4.5
N´m (40 in. lbs.)
(2) Install fuel lines to the fuel pump module (Fig.
1).
(3) Raise tank into position.
(4) Install the fuel tank straps.Tighten bolt for
main straps to 54 N´m (40 ft. lbs.) and the T strap
bolt to 28.2 N´m (250 in. lbs.)
(5) Install the ground strap
(6) Connect the fuel line at the front of the tank.
(7) Lower vehicle.
(8) Connect the negative battery cable.
(9) Pressurize the fuel system with the DRBIIIt
and check for leaks.
FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT /
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The fuel gauge level sending unit is attached to the
side of fuel pump module. The level sensor is a vari-
able resistor.
OPERATION
Its resistance changes with the amount of fuel in
the tank. The float arm attached to the sensor moves
as the fuel level changes.
The fuel level input is used as an input for OBD II.
If the fuel level is below 15% or above 85% of total
tank capacity several monitors are disabled. There
are diagnostics for the level circuit open and shorted.
REMOVAL
Remove fuel pump module. Refer to Fuel Pump
Module in this section.
(1) Depress retaining tab and remove the fuel
pump/level sensor connector from theBOTTOMof
the fuel pump module electrical connector (Fig. 2) .
NOTE: The pump module harness on TOP of flange
is not serviceable or removable.

(2) Pull off the locking wedge.
(3) Using a small screwdriver lift locking finger
away from terminal and push terminal out of connec-
tor (Fig. 3).
(4) Push level sensor signal and ground terminals
out of the connector (Fig. 4).(5) Insert a screwdriver between the fuel pump
module and the top of the level sensor housing (Fig.
5) . Push level sensor down slightly.
(6) Slide level sensor wires through opening fuel
pump module (Fig. 6).
(7) Slide level sensor out of installation channel in
module.

FUEL LINES
DESCRIPTION - FUEL LINES/HOSES AND
CLAMPS
Also refer to Quick-Connect Fittings.
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING ANY FUEL SYSTEM HOSES,
FITTINGS OR LINES, THE FUEL SYSTEM PRES-
SURE MUST BE RELEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL
SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE IN
THIS GROUP.
The lines/tubes/hoses used on fuel injected vehicles
are of a special construction. This is due to the
higher fuel pressures and the possibility of contami-
nated fuel in this system. If it is necessary to replace
these lines/tubes/hoses, only those marked EFM/EFI
may be used.
If equipped:The hose clamps used to secure rub-
ber hoses on fuel injected vehicles are of a special
rolled edge construction. This construction is used to
prevent the edge of the clamp from cutting into the
hose. Only these rolled edge type clamps may be
used in this system. All other types of clamps may
cut into the hoses and cause high-pressure fuel leaks.
Use new original equipment type hose clamps.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - HOSES AND CLAMP
Inspect all hose connections (clamps and quick con-
nect fittings) for completeness and leaks. Replace
cracked, scuffed, or swelled hoses. Replace hoses that
rub against other vehicle components or show sign of
wear.
Fuel injected vehicles use specially constructed
hoses. When replacing hoses, only use hoses marked
EFM/EFI.
When installing hoses, ensure that they are routed
away from contact with other vehicle components
that could rub against them and cause failure. Avoid
contact with clamps or other components that cause
abrasions or scuffing. Ensure that rubber hoses are
properly routed and avoid heat sources.
The hose clamps have rolled edges to prevent the
clamp from cutting into the hose. Only use clamps
that are original equipment or equivalent. Other
types of clamps may cut into the hoses and cause
high pressure fuel leaks. Tighten hose clamps to 1
N´m (10 in. lbs.) torque.
Inspect all hose connections such as clamps, cou-
plings and fittings to make sure they are secure and
