TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: The turbocharger is a performance part
and must not be tampered with. The wastegate
bracket is an integral part of the turbocharger. Tam-
pering with the wastegate components can reduce
durability by increasing cylinder pressure and ther-
mal loading due to incorrect inlet and exhaust man-
ifold pressure. Poor fuel economy and failure to
meet regulatory emissions laws may result. Increas-
ing the turbocharger boost WILL NOT increase
engine power.
The turbocharger is an exhaust-driven super-
charger which increases the pressure and density of
the air entering the engine. With the increase of air
entering the engine, more fuel can be injected into
the cylinders, which creates more power during com-
bustion.
The turbocharger assembly consists of four (4)
major component systems (Fig. 1) (Fig. 2):
²Turbine section
²Compressor section
²Bearing housing
²Wastegate
OPERATION
Exhaust gas pressure and energy drive the tur-
bine, which in turn drives a centrifugal compressor
that compresses the inlet air, and forces the air into
the engine through the charge air cooler and plumb-
ing. Since heat is a by-product of this compression,
the air must pass through a charge air cooler to cool
the incoming air and maintain power and efficiency.
Increasing air flow to the engine provides:
²Improved engine performance
²Lower exhaust smoke density
²Improved operating economy
²Altitude compensation
²Noise reduction.
The turbocharger also uses a wastegate (Fig. 3),
which regulates intake manifold air pressure and
prevents over boosting at high engine speeds. When
the wastegate valve is closed, all of the exhaust gases
flow through the turbine wheel. As the intake mani-
fold pressure increases, the wastegate actuator opens
the valve, diverting some of the exhaust gases away
from the turbine wheel. This limits turbine shaft
speed and air output from the impeller.
The turbocharger is lubricated by engine oil that is
pressurized, cooled, and filtered. The oil is delivered
to the turbocharger by a supply line that is tapped
into the oil filter head. The oil travels into the bear-
ing housing, where it lubricates the shaft and bear-
ings (Fig. 4). A return pipe at the bottom of the

leaks are not present. The component should be
replaced immediately if there is any evidence of deg-
radation that could result in failure.
Never attempt to repair a plastic fuel line/tube.
Replace as necessary.
Avoid contact of any fuel tubes/hoses with other
vehicle components that could cause abrasions or
scuffing. Be sure that the plastic fuel lines/tubes are
properly routed to prevent pinching and to avoid heat
sources.
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
OPERATION
The fuel system uses a nonadjustable pressure reg-
ulator that maintains fuel system pressure at
approximately 400  34 kPa (58  5 psi). The fuel
pressure regulator contains a diaphragm, calibrated
spring and a fuel return valve. The spring pushes
down on the diaphragm and closes off the fuel return
port. System fuel pressure reflects the amount of fuel
pressure required to open the return port.
The pressure regulator is a mechanical device that
is NOT controlled by the PCM or engine vacuum.
REMOVAL
The fuel pressure regulator is part of the fuel
pump module (Fig. 9). Remove the fuel pump module
from the fuel tank to access the fuel pressure regula-
tor. Refer to the Fuel Pump Module removal in this
section.
(1) Spread tangs on pressure regulator retainer.
(2) Pry fuel pressure regulator out of housing.
(3) Ensure both upper and lower O-rings were
removed with regulator.
INSTALLATION
The fuel pressure regulator is part of the fuel
pump module. Remove the fuel pump module from
the fuel tank to access the fuel pressure regulator.
Refer to the Fuel Pump Module removal in this sec-
tion.
(1) Lightly lubricate the O-rings with clean engine
oil and place them into opening in pump module (Fig.
9).
(2) Push regulator into opening in pump module.
(3) Fold tangs on regulator retainer over tabs on
housing.
FUEL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
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 fuel pump module is sus-
pended in fuel in the fuel tank.
OPERATION
The pump draws fuel through a strainer and
pushes it through the motor to the outlet. The pump
contains a check valve. The valve, in the pump out-
let, maintains pump pressure during engine off con-
ditions, for a short while. It is normal for fuel
pressure to drop to zero after cooldown. The fuel
pump relay provides voltage to the fuel pump. The
fuel pump has a maximum deadheaded pressure out-
put of approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The regula-
tor adjusts fuel system pressure to approximately
400 kpa  34 kpa (58 psi   5 psi).
NOTE: Checkvalve maintains volume of fuel in the
rail and lines, not pressure.
