FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank is constructed of a plastic material.
Its main functions are for fuel storage and for place-
ment of the fuel pump module, and certain ORVR
components.
OPERATION
All models pass a full 360 degree rollover test
without fuel leakage. To accomplish this, fuel and
vapor flow controls are required for all fuel tank con-
nections.
A check (control) valve is mounted into the top sec-
tion of the 2±piece fuel pump module. Refer to Fuel
Tank Check Valve for additional information.
An evaporation control system is connected to the
fuel tank to reduce emissions of fuel vapors into the
atmosphere. When fuel evaporates from the fuel
tank, vapors pass through vent hoses or tubes to a
charcoal canister where they are temporarily held.
When the engine is running, the vapors are drawn
into the intake manifold. Certain models are also
equipped with a self-diagnosing system using a Leak
Detection Pump (LDP) and/or an ORVR system.
Refer to Emission Control System for additional
information.

KEY-IN IGNITION SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The key-in ignition switch is integral to the igni-
tion switch, which is mounted on the left side of the
steering column, opposite the ignition lock cylinder.
It closes a path to ground for the instrument cluster
chime warning circuitry when the ignition key is
inserted in the ignition lock cylinder and the driver
door jamb switch is closed (driver door is open). The
key-in ignition switch opens the ground path when
the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder.
The key-in ignition switch cannot be repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, the entire ignition switch must
be replaced. (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/IG-
NITION SWITCH - REMOVAL).

PUMP
DESCRIPTION
Hydraulic pressure for the power steering system
is provided by a belt driven power steering pump
(Fig. 1). The pump shaft has a pressed-on high
strength plastic drive pulley that is belt driven by
the crankshaft pulley. The integral reservoir used on
the 3.7L only is attached to the pump body with
spring clips (Fig. 1). The 2.4L uses a remote fluid res-
ervoir (Fig. 2). The power steering pump is connected
to the steering gear by the pressure and return
hoses.
OPERATION
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.Fig. 1 POWER STEERING PUMP ASSEMBLY

METHOD 1 (RELOCATE WHEEL ON HUB)
(1) Drive vehicle a short distance to eliminate tire
flat spotting from a parked position.
(2) Check wheel bearings and adjust if adjustable
or replace if necessary.
(3) Check the wheel mounting surface.
(4) Relocate wheel on the mounting, two studs
over from the original position.
(5) Tighten wheel nuts until all are properly
torqued, to eliminate brake distortion.
(6) Check radial runout. If still excessive, mark
tire sidewall, wheel, and stud at point of maximum
runout and proceed to Method 2.
METHOD 2 (RELOCATE TIRE ON WHEEL)
NOTE: Rotating the tire on wheel is particularly
effective when there is runout in both tire and
wheel.
(1) Remove tire from wheel and mount wheel on
service dynamic balance machine.
(2) Check wheel radial runout (Fig. 2) and lateral
runout (Fig. 3).
²STEEL WHEELS: Radial runout 0.024 in., Lat-
eral runout 0.030 in. (average)
²ALUMINUM WHEELS: Radial runout 0.014 in.,
Lateral runout 0.020 in. (average)
(3) If point of greatest wheel lateral runout is near
original chalk mark, remount tire 180 degrees.
Recheck runout, (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE ROTATION
Tires on the front and rear operate at different
loads and perform different steering, driving, and
braking functions. For these reasons they wear at
unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear
patterns. These effects can be reduced by rotating
the tires at regular intervals. The benefits of tire
rotation are:
²Increase tread life
²Maintain traction levels
²A smooth, quiet ride
The suggested method of tire rotation is (Fig. 4).
Other rotation methods can be used, but they will
not provide all the tire longevity benefits.

TIRES/WHEELS (Continued)

STANDARD PROCEDURE - MATCH MOUNTING
Tires and wheels are currently match mounted at
the factory. Match mounting is a technique used to
reduce runout in the wheel/tire assembly. This means
that the high spot of the tire is aligned with the low
spot on the wheel rim. The high spot on the tire is
marked with a paint mark or a bright colored adhe-
sive label on the outboard sidewall. The low spot on
the rim is identified with a label on the outside of the
rim and a dot on the inside of the rim. If the outside
label has been removed the tire will have to be
removed to locate the dot on the inside of the rim.
Before dismounting a tire from its wheel, a refer-
ence mark should be placed on the tire at the valve
stem location. This reference will ensure that it is
remounted in the original position on the wheel.
(1) Use a dial indicator to locate the high spot of
the tire on the center tread rib (Fig. 5). Record the
indicator reading and mark the high spot on the tire.
Place a mark on the tire at the valve stem location
(Fig. 6).
(2) Break down the tire and remount it 180
degrees on the rim (Fig. 7).
(3) Measure the total runout again and mark the
tire to indicate the high spot.
(4) If runout is still excessive use the following
procedures.
(a) If the high spot is within 101.6 mm (4.0 in.)
of the first spot and is still excessive, replace the
tire.
(b) If the high spot is within 101.6 mm (4.0 in.)
of the first spot on the wheel, the wheel may be out
of specifications,(Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

(c) If the high spot is NOT within 101.6 mm (4.0
in.) of either high spot, draw an arrow on the tread
from second high spot to first. Break down the tire
and remount it 90 degrees on rim in that direction
(Fig. 8). This procedure will normally reduce the
runout to an acceptable amount.STANDARD PROCEDURE - WHEEL BALANCING
It is recommended that a two plane service
dynamic balancer be used when a tire and wheel
assembly require balancing. Refer to balancer opera-
tion instructions for proper cone mounting proce-
dures. Typically use front cone mounting method for
steel wheels. For aluminum wheel use back cone
mounting method without cone spring.
NOTE: Static should be used only when a two plane
balancer is not available.
NOTE: Cast aluminum and forged aluminum wheels
require coated balance weights and special align-
ment equipment.
Wheel balancing can be accomplished with either
on or off vehicle equipment. When using on-vehicle
balancing equipment, remove the opposite wheel/tire.
Off-vehicle balancing is recommended.
For static balancing, find location of heavy spot
causing the imbalance. Counter balance wheel
directly opposite the heavy spot. Determine weight
required to counter balance the area of imbalance.
Place half of this weight on theinnerrim flange and
the other half on theouterrim flange (Fig. 9).
For dynamic balancing, the balancing equipment is
designed to locate the amount of weight to be applied
to both the inner and outer rim flange (Fig. 10).
