FUEL INJECTOR
DESCRIPTION
A separate fuel injector (Fig. 24) is used for each
individual cylinder.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The fuel injectors are electrical solenoids. The
injector contains a pintle that closes off an orifice at
the nozzle end. When electric current is supplied to
the injector, the armature and needle move a short
distance against a spring, allowing fuel to flow out
the orifice. Because the fuel is under high pressure, a
fine spray is developed in the shape of a pencil
stream. The spraying action atomizes the fuel, add-
ing it to the air entering the combustion chamber.
The top (fuel entry) end of the injector (Fig. 24) is
attached into an opening on the fuel rail.
The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors are posi-
tioned into openings in the intake manifold just
above the intake valve ports of the cylinder head.
The engine wiring harness connector for each fuel
injector is equipped with an attached numerical tag
(INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel
injector.
The injectors are electrically energized, individu-
ally and in a sequential order by the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM). The PCM will adjust injector
pulse width by switching the ground path to each
individual injector on and off. Injector pulse width is
the period of time that the injector is energized. The
PCM will adjust injector pulse width based on vari-
ous inputs it receives.
Battery voltage is supplied to the injectors through
the ASD relay.
The PCM determines injector pulse width based on
various inputs.
OPERATION - PCM OUTPUT
The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into
openings in the intake manifold just above the intake
valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine wiring
harness connector for each fuel injector is equipped
with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.).
This is used to identify each fuel injector with its
respective cylinder number.
The injectors are energized individually in a
sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by
switching the ground path to each individual injector
on and off. Injector pulse width is the period of time
that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust
injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
Battery voltage (12 volts +) is supplied to the injec-
tors through the ASD relay. The ASD relay will shut-
down the 12 volt power source to the fuel injectors if
the PCM senses the ignition is on, but the engine is
not running. This occurs after the engine has not
been running for approximately 1.8 seconds.

PUMP
DESCRIPTION - 4.0L, 4.7L
Hydraulic pressure for the power steering system
is provided by a belt driven power steering pump
(Fig. 1) and (Fig. 2). The pump shaft has a
pressed-on drive pulley that is belt driven by the
crankshaft pulley.
OPERATION
OPERATION - 4.7L
The power steering pump is a constant flow rate
and displacement, vane-type pump. The pump has
internal parts that operate submerged in fluid. The
flow control orifice and the pressure relief valve,
which limits the pump pressure, are internal to the
pump. The reservoir is attached to the pump body
with spring clips. The power steering pump is used
to drive the hydraulic engine cooling fan, which sep-
arates the flow to the fan gerotors and the power
steering gear. The power steering pump is connected
to the engine cooling fan by pressure and return
hoses and the pump is connected to the steering gear
via a return hose from the steering cooler (Fig. 2).NOTE: Power steering pumps have different pres-
sure rates and are not interchangeable with other
pumps.OPERATION - 4.0L
The power steering pump is a constant flow rate
and displacement, vane-type pump. The pump inter-
nal parts operate submerged in fluid. The flow con-
trol orifice is part of the high pressure line fitting.
The pressure relief valve inside the flow control valve
limits the pump pressure. The reservoir is attached
to the pump body with spring clips. The power steer-
ing pump is connected to the steering gear by the
pressure and return hoses (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Power steering pumps have different pres-
sure rates and are not interchangeable with other
pumps.

NOTE: The pulley is marked front for installation.
CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with the 4.0L or
4.7L, Do not reuse the old power steering pump
pulley it is not intended for reuse. A new pulley
must be installed if removed.
(1) Replace pulley if bent, cracked, or loose.
(2) Install pulley on pump with Installer C-4063-B
or equivalent installer (Fig. 15). The front edge of the
pulley hub must be flush with the end of the shaft.
Ensure the tool and pulley are aligned with the
pump shaft.(3) Install pump assembly.
(4) With Serpentine Belt, run engine until warm (5
min.) and note any belt chirp. If chirp exists, move
pulley outward approximately 0.5 mm (0.020 in.). If
noise increases, press on 1.0 mm (0.040 in.).Be
careful that pulley does not contact mounting
bolts.

(1) Lubricate new O-ring Seal with Mopar Power
Steering Fluid or equivalent.
(2) Install O-ring seal in housing.
(3) Install reservoir onto housing.
