ACCELERATOR PEDAL
REMOVAL
The accelerator pedal is connected to the throttle
body linkage by the throttle cable. The cable is pro-
tected by a plastic sheathing and is connected to the
throttle body linkage by a ball socket. It is connected
to the accelerator pedal arm by a plastic retainer
(clip) (Fig. 16). This retainer (clip) snaps into the top
of the accelerator pedal arm. A retainer clip (Fig. 16)
is also used to fasten cable to dash panel.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage or kink the
cable core wire (within the cable sheathing) while
servicing accelerator pedal or throttle cable.
(1) From inside vehicle, hold up accelerator pedal.
Remove plastic cable retainer (clip) and throttle cable
core wire from upper end of pedal arm. Plastic cable
retainer (clip) snaps into pedal arm.
(2) Remove accelerator pedal bracket nuts. Remove
accelerator pedal assembly.

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.

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The 2±wire Intake Manifold Air Temperature (IAT)
sensor is installed in the intake manifold with the
sensor element extending into the air stream.
The IAT sensor is a two-wire Negative Thermal
Coefficient (NTC) sensor. Meaning, as intake mani-
fold temperature increases, resistance (voltage) in the
sensor decreases. As temperature decreases, resis-
tance (voltage) in the sensor increases.
OPERATION
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based
upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on, a
5±volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from
the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
²Injector pulse-width
²Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent
spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same
as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.

O2S HEATER RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The 2 oxygen (O2) sensor heater relays (upstream
and downstream) are located in the Powertrain Dis-
tribution Center (PDC).
OPERATION
Engines equipped with the California (NAE) Emis-
sions Package usefour O2 sensors.
Two of the four sensor heater elements (upstream
sensors 1/1 and 2/1) are controlled by the upstream
heater relay through output signals from the Power-
train Control Module (PCM).

MAP SENSOR (Continued)
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 Sensor (Non-California Emissions):
The upstream sensor (1/1) provides an input voltage
to the PCM. The input tells the PCM the oxygen con-
tent of the exhaust gas. The PCM uses this informa-
tion to fine tune fuel delivery to maintain the correct
oxygen content at the downstream oxygen sensor.
The PCM will change the air/fuel ratio until the
upstream sensor inputs a voltage that the PCM has
determined will make the downstream sensor output
(oxygen content) correct.
The upstream oxygen sensor also provides an input
to determine catalytic convertor efficiency.
Downstream Sensor (Non-California Emis-
sions):The downstream oxygen sensor (1/2) is also
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 sensor also provides an
input to determine catalytic convertor efficiency.
Upstream Sensors (California Engines):Tw o
upstream sensors are used (1/1 and 2/1). The 1/1 sen-
sor 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 downstream oxygen sensors. The PCM
will change the air/fuel ratio until the upstream sen-
sors input a voltage that the PCM has determined
will make the downstream 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 (California Engines):
Two downstream sensors are used (1/2 and 2/2). The
downstream sensors are used to determine the cor-
rect 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 oxygen sensor voltage,
and changes fuel delivery until the upstream sensor
voltage changes enough to correct 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.
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.

sensor electrical connector, or attempt any sol-
dering of the sensor wiring harness.
