CHARGE AIR COOLER AND
PLUMBING
DESCRIPTION
The charge air system (Fig. 29) consists of the
charge air cooler piping, charge air cooler and intake
air grid heater.
The charge air cooler is a heat exchanger that uses
air flow from vehicle motion to dissipate heat from
the intake air. As the turbocharger increases air
pressure, the air temperature increases. Lowering
the intake air temperature increases engine effi-
ciency and power.
OPERATION
Intake air is drawn through the air cleaner and
into the turbocharger compressor housing. Pressur-
ized air from the turbocharger then flows forward
through the charge air cooler located in front of the
radiator. From the charge air cooler the air flows
back into the intake manifold.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHARGE AIR
COOLER SYSTEM - LEAKS
Low turbocharger boost pressure and low engine
preformance can be caused by leaks in the charge air
cooler or it's plumbing. The following procedure out-
lines how to check for leaks in the charge air cooler
system.(1) Loosen clamp and remove turbocharger to air
inlet duct rubber sleeve from turbocharger (Fig. 30).
(2) Insert Special Tool 8442 Adapter into the rub-
ber sleeve. Tighten existing clamp to 8 N´m (72
in.lbs.).
CAUTION: Do not apply more than 138 kpa (20 psi)
air pressure to the charge air cooler system, sever
damage to the charge air cooler system may occur.
(3) Connect regulated air supply to air fitting on
Special Tool 8442 Adapter. Set air pressure to a Max-
imum of 138 kpa (20 psi).
(4) Using soapy water check the air inlet ducts,
rubber sleeves, charge air cooler and intake manifold
for leaks.
REMOVAL
WARNING: IF THE ENGINE WAS JUST TURNED
OFF, THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM TUBES MAY BE
HOT.
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cables.
(2) Remove the front bumper (Refer to 13 -
FRAMES & BUMPERS/BUMPERS/FRONT
BUMPER - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the front support bracket.

(9) Inspect fuel tube quick-connect fitting-to-fuel
rail connections.
(10) Verify that hose connections to all ports of
vacuum fittings on intake manifold are tight and not
leaking.
(11) Inspect accelerator cable, transmission throt-
tle cable (if equipped) and cruise control cable con-
nections (if equipped). Check their connections to the
throttle arm of throttle body for any binding or
restrictions.
(12) If equipped with vacuum brake booster, verify
that vacuum booster hose is firmly connected to fit-
ting on intake manifold. Also check connection to
brake vacuum booster.
(13) Inspect the air cleaner inlet and air cleaner
element for dirt or restrictions.
(14) Inspect radiator grille area, radiator fins and
air conditioning condenser for restrictions.
(15) Verify that the intake manifold air tempera-
ture sensor wire connector is firmly connected to har-
ness connector (Fig. 5).
(16) Verify that MAP sensor electrical connector is
firmly connected to MAP sensor (Fig. 6). Also verify
that rubber L-shaped fitting from MAP sensor to the
throttle body is firmly connected (Fig. 7).
(17) Verify that fuel injector wire harness connec-
tors are firmly connected to injectors in the correct
order. Each harness connector is numerically tagged
with the injector number (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.) of its
corresponding fuel injector and cylinder number.
(18) Verify harness connectors are firmly con-
nected to idle air control (IAC) motor, throttle posi-
tion sensor (TPS) and manifold absolute pressure
(MAP) sensor (Fig. 6).(19) Verify that wire harness connector is firmly
connected to the engine coolant temperature sensor
(Fig. 8).
(20) Raise and support the vehicle.
(21) Verify oxygen sensor wire connectors are
firmly connected to the sensors. Inspect sensors and
connectors for damage (Fig. 9), (Fig. 10) or (Fig. 11).
