weather, vehicle speed, in gear or neutral, engine temperature or any other special
conditions. Noises that develop during A/C operation can often be misleading. For example:
what sounds like a failed front bearing or connecting rod, may be caused by loose
bolts, nuts, mounting brackets, or a loose clutch assembly. Verify accessory drive
belt tension (power steering or generator).
Improper accessory drive belt tension can cause a misleading noise when the
compressor is engaged and little or no noise when the compressor is disengaged.
Drive belts are speed-sensitive. That is, at different engine speeds, and depending
upon belt tension, belts can develop unusual noises that are often mistaken for
mechanical problems within the compressor. HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS Kinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in the refrigerant hose lines will
greatly reduce the capacity of the entire system. High pressures are produced in the
system when it is operating. Extreme care must be exercised to make sure that all
connections are pressure tight. Dirt and moisture can enter the system when it is
opened for repair or replacement of lines or components. The following precautions
must be observed. The system must be completely discharged before opening any
fitting of connection in the refrigeration system. Open fittings with caution even
after the system has been discharged. If any pressure is noticed as a fitting is
loosened, allow trapped pressure to bleed off very slowly. Never attempt to rebend formed lines to fit. Use the correct line for the installation
you are servicing. A good rule for the flexible hose lines is keep the radius of all
bends at least 10 times the diameter of the hose.
Sharper bends will reduce the flow of refrigerant. The flexible hose lines should be
routed so that they are at least 80 mm (3.1 inches) from the exhaust manifold. It is
good practice to inspect all flexible hose lines at least once a year to make sure they
are in good condition and properly routed.

MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE Manufacturer recommends the belt be replaced every 60,000 miles except in
California, Massachusetts and Vermont. In California, Massachusetts and Vermont,
timing belt replacement is recommended, but not required, at 60,000 miles. In these
states, replace timing belt at 105,000 miles, unless previously changed. REMOVAL & INSTALLATION TIMING BELT Removal 1. On Galant, remove engine cover. On all models, remove skid plate and under
cover. Remove accessory drive belts. Using Pulley Holder (MB991800) and
Pins "B" (MB001802), remove crankshaft pulley.
2. Disconnect harness connectors on connector bracket. See Fig. 1
or Fig. 2
.
Remove connector bracket. Remove engine mount support bracket. Remove
both upper timing belt covers.
3. Remove tensioner pulley and tensioner bracket. Remove crankshaft position
sensor harness clamp. Remove lower timing belt cover. Remove front engine
mount and front engine mount bracket.
4. Turn crankshaft clockwise to align camshaft and crankshaft timing marks. See
Fig. 3
. If timing belt is to be reused, place arrow on belt to indicate direction
of belt rotation.
5. Loosen belt tensioner

g CAUTION: This application is an interference engine. Do not
rotate camshaft or crankshaft when timing belt is
removed, or engine damage may occur.
CAUTION: Always turn crankshaft in clockwise direction (as
viewed from front of engine).
