Measurement
In order to install a new IAC valve, messier the distance
between the tip of the pintle and the mounting flange. I
f
that measurement is 28mm (1.1in.) or less, the valve
need no adjustment. If the measurement is greater than
28mm (1.1in.), apply finger pressure and retract the
valve. The force required to retract the pintle on a ne
w
valve will not damage the valve, shaft, or pintle.

3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E-373
Inspection
Inspect the louvered end of the sensor for grease,
dirt, excessive carbon build up or othe
r
contamination.
A special anti-seize compound is used on the O2
sensor threads. This compound consists of glass
breads suspended in a liquid graphite solution.
The graphite burns away with engine heat, but the
glass breads will remain, marking the senso
r
easier to remove.
New or service sensors will already have the
compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is
removed and is to be reinstalled for any reason,
the threads must have anti-seize compound
applied.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the O2 sensor to the exhaust pipe.
Apply anti-seize compound or the equivalent to the
threads of the oxygen sensor, if necessary.
2. Tighten the O2 sensor with specified tightening
torque.
Tightening Torque
Bolt: 42N
m (4.3kgf

3. Connect a sensor connector to the O2 sensor.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE:
Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are not
stored after replacement.
Verify no exhaust gas leaking from the senso
r
threads after replacement.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Engine Cleanliness And Care
An automobile engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances
that are measured in the thousandths of a millimeter (ten thousandths of an inch). Accordingly, when any internal
engine parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important. Throughout this section, it should be understood that
proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair procedure. This is
considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.
A liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to all friction areas during assembly to protect and lubricate
the surfaces on initial operation.
Whenever valve train components, pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and crankshaft journal
bearings are removed for service, they should be retained in order.
At the time of installation, they should be installed in the same locations and with the same mating surfaced as
when removed.
Battery cables should be disconnected before any major work is performed on the engine. Failure to
disconnect cables may result in damage to wire harness or other electrical parts.
The four cylinders of this engine are identified by numbers; cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4, as counted from crankshaft
pulley.
General Information on Engine Service
The following information on engine service should be noted carefully, as it is important in preventing damage and

When working on the fuel system, there are several things to
keep in mind:
Any time the fuel system is being worked on, disconnect the
negative battery cable except for those tests where battery
voltage is required.
Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near
the work area.
Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings that were
removed.
Clean and inspect "O" rings. Replace if required.
Always relieve the line pressure before servicing any fuel
system components.
Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until you have
read the instructions and checked the pictures relating to
that repair.
Adhere to all Notices and Cautions.
All gasoline engines are designed to use only unleaded
gasoline. Unleaded gasoline must be used for proper emission
control system operation.
Its use will also minimize spark plug fouling and extend engine
oil life. Using leaded gasoline can damage the emission control
system and could result in loss of emission warranty coverage.
All cars are equipped with an Evaporative Emission Control
System. The purpose of the system is to minimize the escape
of fuel vapors to the atmosphere.
Service Precaution
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. ISUZU will call out those
fasteners that require a replacement after removal. ISUZU
will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers
or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do
not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or othe
r
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastene
r
joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect
the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts
and systems.
6D1-2 ENGINE ELECTRICAL
Battery
General Description
There are six battery fluid caps on top of the battery.
These are covered by a paper label.
The battery is completely sealed except for the six small vent
holes on the side. These vent holes permit the escape of small
amounts of gas generated by the battery.
This type of battery has the following advantages over
conventional batteries:
1. There is no need to add water during the entire service life
of the battery.
2. The battery protects itself against overcharging.
The battery will refuse to accept an extensive charge.
(A conventional battery will accept an excessive charge,
resulting in gassing and loss of battery fluid.)
3. The battery is much less vulnerable to self discharge than a
conventional type battery.

CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. ISUZU will call out those
