1. Arc weld the rod at several points. Be careful not
to damage the aluminum section.
2.
Allow the rod to cool for a few minutes. This will
cause the valve seat to shrink.
3. Strike the rod and pull it out.

ENGINE FUEL (6VE1 3.5L) 6C-3
Fuel Metering
The Engine Control Module (ECM) is in complete
control of this fuel delivery system during normal driving
conditions.
The intake manifold function, like that of a diesel, is
used only to let air into the engine. The fuel is injected
by separate injectors that are mounted over the intake
manifold.
The Barometric Pressure (BARO) sensor measures the
changes in the barometric pressure which result from
engine load and speed changes, which the BARO
sensor converts to a voltage output.
This sensor generates the voltage to change
corresponding to the flow of the air drawn into the
engine.
The changing voltage is transformed into an electric
signal and provided to the ECM.
With receipt of the signals sent from the BARO sensor,
Intake Air Temperature sensor and others, the ECM
determines an appropriate fuel injection pulse width
feeding such information to the fuel injector valves to
effect an appropriate air/fuel ratio.
The Multiport Fuel Injection system utilizes an injection
system where the injectors turn on at every crankshaf
t
revolution. The ECM controls the injector on time so
that the correct amount of fuel is metered depending on
driving conditions.
Two interchangeable “O" rings are used on the injecto
r
that must be replaced when the injectors are removed.
The fuel rail is attached to the top of the intake manifold
and supplies fuel to all the injectors.
Fuel is recirculated through the rail continually while the
engine is running. This removes air and vapors from the
fuel as well as keeping the fuel cool during hot weathe
r
operation.
The fuel pressure control valve that is mounted on the
fuel rail maintains a pressure differential across the
injectors under all operating conditions. It is
accomplished by controlling the amount of fuel that is
recirculated back to the fuel tank based on engine
demand.
See Section “Driveability and Emission" for more
information and diagnosis.
