TIONS IN THE FRONT OF THIS SECTION BEFORE

PLUMBING - WARNING) (Refer to 24 - HEATING &
AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - CAUTION)
Any kinks or sharp bends in the refrigerant plumb-
ing will reduce the capacity of the entire air condi-
tioning system. Kinks and sharp bends reduce the
flow of refrigerant in the system. A good rule for the
flexible hose refrigerant lines is to keep the radius of
all bends at least ten times the diameter of the hose.
In addition, the flexible hose refrigerant lines should
be routed so they are at least 80 millimeters (3
inches) from the exhaust manifold.
High pressures are produced in the refrigerant sys-
tem when the air conditioning compressor is operat-
ing. Extreme care must be exercised to make sure
that each of the refrigerant system connections is
pressure-tight and leak free. It is a good practice to
inspect all flexible hose refrigerant lines at least once
a year to make sure they are in good condition and
properly routed.
(1) Carefully position the suction line in the vehi-
cle.
(2) Remove the cap or tape and install the suction
line on the compressor. Be certain the sealing o-ring
is well lubricated with PAG oil and free of tears.
Torque the retaining fastener to 22 N´m (200 in. lbs.).
(3) Position and install the refrigerant line support
bracket bolt on the cylinder head cap. Torque the bolt
to 20 N´m (177 in. lbs.).
(4) Remove the cap or tape and install the suction
line on the H-Valve Block. Be certain the sealing
O-ring is well lubricated with PAG oil and free of
tears. Torque the retaining fastener to 28 N´m (21 ft.
lbs.).
(5) Install the tie-straps retaining the wire har-
ness on the suction line.
(6) Evacuate the refrigerant system. (Refer to 24 -

TEM EVACUATE)
(7) Charge the refrigerant system. (Refer to 24 -

TEM CHARGE)
(8) Connect the negative battery cable.
A/C EVAPORATOR
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator coil is located in the HVAC hous-
ing, under the instrument panel. The evaporator coil
is positioned in the HVAC housing so that all air that
enters the housing must pass over the fins of the
evaporator before it is distributed through the sys-
tem ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the
evaporator coil fins will only be conditioned when the
compressor is engaged and circulating refrigerant
through the evaporator coil tubes.
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the evaporator from the orifice
tube as a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid. As
air flows over the fins of the evaporator, the humidity
in the air condenses on the fins, and the heat from
the air is absorbed by the refrigerant. Heat absorp-
tion causes the refrigerant to boil and vaporize. The
refrigerant becomes a low-pressure gas before it
leaves the evaporator.
The evaporator coil cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
REMOVAL
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.

NOTE: The evaporative system uses specially man-
ufactured lines/hoses. If replacement becomes nec-
essary, only use fuel resistant, low permeation
hose.
Certain components can be found in (Fig. 1).
DESCRIPTION - CCV SYSTEM
The 4.0L 6±cylinder engine is equipped with a
Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) system. The system
consists of:
²A fixed orifice fitting of a calibrated size. This
fitting is pressed into a rubber grommet located on
the top/rear of cylinder head (valve) cover (Fig. 2).
²a pair of breather tubes (lines) to connect the
system components.
²the air cleaner housing.
²an air inlet fitting (Fig. 2).
DESCRIPTION - PCV SYSTEM
The 4.7L V-8 engine is equipped with a closed
crankcase ventilation system and a Positive Crank-
case Ventilation (PCV) valve.
This system consists of:

OPERATION
OPERATION - 4.0L CCV SYSTEM
The CCV system performs the same function as a
conventional PCV system, but does not use a vacuum
controlled PCV valve.
The fixed orifice fitting meters the amount of
crankcase vapors drawn out of the engine.
When the engine is operating, fresh air enters the
engine and mixes with crankcase vapors. Engine vac-uum draws the vapor/air mixture through the fixed
orifice and into the intake manifold. The vapors are
then consumed during engine combustion.
OPERATION - 4.7L PCV SYSTEM
The PCV system operates by engine intake mani-
fold vacuum. Filtered air is routed into the crankcase
through the air cleaner hose and crankcase breath-
ers. The metered air, along with crankcase vapors,
are drawn through the PCV valve and into a passage
in the intake manifold. The PCV system manages
crankcase pressure and meters blow-by gases to the
intake system, reducing engine sludge formation.
The PCV valve contains a spring loaded plunger.
This plunger meters the amount of crankcase vapors
routed into the combustion chamber based on intake
manifold vacuum.
TYPICALPCV valves are shown in (Fig. 5), (Fig.
6) and (Fig. 7).
When the engine is not operating, or during an
engine pop-back, the spring forces the plunger back
against the seat (Fig. 5). This will prevent vapors
from flowing through the valve.

(8)Do not attempt to clean the old PCV valve.
(9) Return PCV valve back to oil filler tube by
placing valve locating tabs (Fig. 21) into cam lock.
Press PCV valve in and rotate valve upward. A slight
click will be felt when tabs have engaged cam lock.
Valve should be pointed towards rear of vehicle.
(10) Connect PCV line/hose and connecting rubber
hose to PCV valve.
(11) Disconnect rubber hose from fresh air fitting
at left side of air cleaner resonator box (Fig. 22).
Start engine and bring to idle speed. Hold a piece of
stiff paper (such as a parts tag) loosely over the
opening of the disconnected rubber hose.
(12) The paper should be drawn against the hose
opening with noticeable force. This will be after
allowing approximately one minute for crankcase
pressure to reduce.
(13) If vacuum is not present, disconnect each PCV
system hose at top of each breather (Fig. 22). Check
for obstructions or restrictions.(14) If vacuum is still not present, remove each
PCV system breather (Fig. 22) from each cylinder
head. Check for obstructions or restrictions. If
plugged, replace breather. Tighten breather to 12
N´m (106 in. lbs.) torque. Do not attempt to clean
breather
(15) If vacuum is still not present, disconnect each
PCV system hose at each fitting and check for
obstructions or restrictions.
