THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
(TPS)
Location
Installed on the throttle body.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) VALVE
Location
Installed on the throttle body.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the IAC valve connector.

the throttle body.
Cleaning and Inspection
1. Clean the IAC valve O-ring sealing surface, pintle
valve seat and air passage.
2. Use carburetor cleaner and a parts cleaning brush
to remove carbon deposit.
Do not use a cleaner that contain methyl ethyl
ketone. This is an extremely strong solvent and no
t
necessary for this type of deposit.
3. Shiny spots on the pintle are normal and do no
t
indicate misalignment or a bent pintle shaft.
4. Inspect the IAC valve O-ring for cuts, cracks o
r
distortion.

6E-372 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
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.
28mm(1.1in.)
or less
Installation Procedure
1. Tighten the IAC valve by two screws.
2. Connect a IAC valve connector to the IAC valve.
3. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE:
Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are not
stored after replacement.
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S)
Location
Installed on the exhaust pipe for each bank.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the O2 sensor connector.
3. Loosen and remove the O2 sensor from the
exhaust pipe.
Bank 1 Heated Oxygen Sensor (Right bank)
Bank 2 Heated Oxygen Sensor (Left bank)

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.

2. Disconnect a purge solenoid connector from the
purge solenoid.
3. Disconnect two hoses from the purge solenoid
valve.
4. Loosen a bolt and remove the purge solenoid from
the intake manifold.
Installation Procedure

2. Tighten the purge solenoid by a bolt.
3. Connect a connector to the purge solenoid.
4. Connect two hoses to the purge solenoid valve.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE:
Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are not
stored after replacement.
Verify proper connection of two hoses.
