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
m)
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.

Fan Clutch with Cooling Fan
Inspection and Repair
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if wear,
damage or any other abnormal condition are found through
inspection.
Visually inspect for damage, leak (silicon grease) or other
abnormal conditions.
1. Inspection (on-vehicle)
1) Turn the fan clutch by hand when in a low temperature
condition before starting the engine, and confirm that it
can be turned readily.
2) Start the engine to warm it up until the temperature at the
fan clutch portion gets to around 80C. Then stop the
engine and confirm that the fan clutch can be turned with
considerable effort (clutch torque) when turned by hand.
ENGINE FUEL (C24SE) 6C-3
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.
