DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump module on all gas powered engines
is installed in the top of the fuel tank (Fig. 16) or
(Fig. 17). The fuel pump module (Fig. 16), (Fig. 17)or
(Fig. 18)contains the following:
²A combination fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator
²Electric fuel pump
²Fuel pump reservoir
²A separate in-tank fuel filter (at bottom of mod-
ule)
²Check valve (certain modules)
²Fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
²Fuel supply line connection at filter/regulator
²A threaded locknut retaining pump module to
fuel tank
²A gasket between tank flange and module
²Auxiliary non-pressurized fuel supply fitting (not

QUICK CONNECT FITTING (Continued)
around 70ÉF, the resistance of the heating element is
approximately 4.5 ohms. As the sensor's temperature
increases, resistance in the heater element increases.
This allows the heater to maintain the optimum
operating temperature of approximately 930É-1100ÉF
(500É-600É C). Although the sensors operate the
same, there are physical differences, due to the envi-
ronment that they operate in, that keep them from
being interchangeable.
Maintaining correct sensor temperature at all
times allows the system to enter into closed loop
operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to remain
in closed loop operation during periods of extended
idle.
In Closed Loop operation, the PCM monitors cer-
tain O2 sensor input(s) along with other inputs, and
adjusts the injector pulse width accordingly. During
Open Loop operation, the PCM ignores the O2 sensor
input. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width based
on preprogrammed (fixed) values and inputs from
other sensors.
Upstream Sensors:Two upstream sensors are
used (1/1 and 2/1). The 1/1 sensor is the first sensor
to receive exhaust gases from the #1 cylinder. They
provide an input voltage to the PCM. The input tells
the PCM the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The
PCM uses this information to fine tune fuel delivery
to maintain the correct oxygen content at the down-
stream oxygen sensors. The PCM will change the air/
fuel ratio until the upstream sensors input a voltage
that the PCM has determined will make the down-
stream sensors output (oxygen content) correct.
The upstream oxygen sensors also provide an input
to determine mini-catalyst efficiency. Main catalytic
convertor efficiency is not calculated with this pack-
age.
Downstream Sensors:Two downstream sensors
are used (1/2 and 2/2). The downstream sensors are
used to determine the correct air-fuel ratio. As the
oxygen content changes at the downstream sensor,
the PCM calculates how much air-fuel ratio change is
required. The PCM then looks at the upstream oxy-
gen sensor voltage, and changes fuel delivery until
the upstream sensor voltage changes enough to cor-
rect the downstream sensor voltage (oxygen content).
The downstream oxygen sensors also provide an
input to determine mini-catalyst efficiency. Main cat-
alytic convertor efficiency is not calculated with this
package.
Medium and Heavy Duty 8.0L V-10 Engine:
Four oxygen sensors are used (2 upstream, 1 pre-cat-
alyst and 1 post-catalyst). The upstream sensors (1/1
and 2/1) will fine-tune the air-fuel ratio through the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The pre-catalyst
(1/2) and post-catalyst (1/3) sensors will determine
catalytic convertor efficiency (efficiency of the maincatalytic convertor). This is also done through the
PCM.
Heavy Duty 5.9L Engine:Downstream sensors
are not used with this emissions package, meaning
catalytic convertor efficiency is not calculated with
this package. Two upstream sensors are used. The
left upstream sensor (1/1) will monitor cylinders 1, 3,
5 and 7. The right upstream sensor (2/1) will monitor
cylinders 2, 4, 6 and 8. The PCM monitors the oxy-
gen content of the sensors, and will fine-tune the air-
fuel ratio.
Engines equipped with either a downstream sen-
sor(s), or a post-catalytic sensor, will monitor cata-
lytic convertor efficiency. If efficiency is below
emission standards, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) will be illuminated and a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) will be set. Refer to Monitored Systems
in Emission Control Systems for additional informa-
tion.
REMOVAL
Never apply any type of grease to the oxygen
sensor electrical connector, or attempt any sol-
dering of the sensor wiring harness.
The O2S (oxygen sensors) are numbered 1/1, 1/2,
1/3, 2/1 and 2/2.
On HDC engines, the pre-catalyst/post catalyst
O2S sensors are located at the inlet and outlet ends
of the catalytic converter (Fig. 38).
The 1/1 and 2/1 sensors are located before the
mini-cats (Fig. 39). The 1/2 and 2/2 sensors are
located after the mini-cats (Fig. 39).
WARNING: THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, EXHAUST
PIPES AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER BECOME

OPERATION
The Bosch VP44 fuel injection pump (Fig. 25) is a
solenoid-valve controlled-radial-piston-distributor
type pump.The injection pump is driven by the engine cam-
shaft. A gear on the end of the pump shaft meshes
with the camshaft gear. The pump is timed to the
engine. The VP44 is controlled by an integral (and
non-serviceable) Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM)
(Fig. 24). The FPCM can operate the engine as an
engine controller if a Crankshaft Position Sensor
(CKP) signal is not present.
Fuel from the transfer (lift) pump enters the VP44
where it is pressurized and then distributed through
high-pressure lines to the fuel injectors. The VP44 is
cooled by the fuel that flows through it. A greater
quantity of fuel is required for cooling the VP44 than
what is necessary for engine operation. Because of
this, approximately 70 percent of fuel entering the
pump is returned to the fuel tank through the over-
flow valve and fuel return line. Refer to Overflow
Valve Description/Operation for additional informa-
tion.
The VP44 is not self-priming. At least two fuel
injectors must be bled to remove air from the system.
When servicing the fuel system, disconnecting compo-
nents up to the pump will usually not require air
bleeding from the fuel system. However, removal of
the high-pressure lines, removal of the VP44 pump,
or allowing the vehicle to completely run out of fuel,
will require bleeding air from the high-pressure lines
at the fuel injectors.
VP44 timing is matched to engine timing by an off-
set keyway that fits into the pump shaft. This key-
way has a stamped number on it that is matched to
a number on the VP44 pump (each keyway is cali-
brated to each pump).
When removing/installing the VP44, the same
numbered keyway must always be installed.
Also, the arrow on the top of the keyway should
be installed pointed rearward towards the
pump.
Because of electrical control, the injection pump
high and low idle speeds are not adjustable. Also,
adjustment of fuel pump timing is not required and
is not necessary.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐFUEL INJECTION
PUMP TIMING
With the Bosch VP44 injection pump, there are no
mechanical adjustments needed for fuel injection tim-
ing. All timing and fuel adjustments are made by the
Engine Control Module (ECM). However, if a Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) has been stored indicating
an ªengine sync errorº or a ªstatic timing errorº, per-
form the following.
