Variable Camshaft Timing Solenoid and Camshaft Position Sensors
ItemPart NumberDescription1-CMP Sens or - exhaus t cams haft2-VCT s olenoid3-CMP Sens or - intake camshaftThe profile, or pos ition and shape of the cams haft lobes are opt imiz ed for a cert ain engine rpm, but this normally limit s low-endtorque or high-end power. At high engine s peeds , an engine requires large amounts of air. However, t he intake valves may clos ebefore all t he air has been given a chance t o flow in. On t he other hand, if the cams haft keeps t he valves open for longer periodsof time, problems st art t o occur at t he lower engine speeds . This will caus e unburnt fuel t o exit t he engine s ince t he valves arest ill open.
To overcome t his , VCT changes t he valve t iming by eit her advancing or ret arding the cams haft s t o allow for opt imum engineperformance, reduced emis s ions, and increased fuel efficiency. This is achieved via an electronically controlled hydraulic s olenoidvalve locat ed in t he camshaft housing at t he rear of t he engine, behind the rear CPS s olenoid. The ECM t rans mit s a signal t o thesolenoid, which direct s engine oil int o t he VCT unit. A valve s pool in the VCT unit regulat es t he flow of oil.For addit ional information, refer t o: Elect ronic Engine Cont rols (303-14A Elect ronic Engine Controls - I6 3.2L Pet rol, Des cript ion andOperation)..
There are 2 CMP s ens ors locat ed in t he camshaft housing. The CMP s ensors monitor the posit ion of the cams haft s t o est ablis hignit ion t iming order, fuel injection t riggering and for accurate VCT cams haft advance-retard t iming feedback.
The CMP sensor is a Hall-effect s ens or, which s wit ches a batt ery fed supply on and off. The s upply is s wit ched when t he t eet h ofthe reluct or pas s by t he tip of t he sens or. The 4 t eet h are of differing s hapes , s o the ECM can determine t he exact pos it ion of t hecams haft at any t ime.For addit ional information, refer t o: Elect ronic Engine Cont rols (303-14A Elect ronic Engine Controls - I6 3.2L Pet rol, Des cript ion andOperation).
Spark Plugs
Page 627 of 3229

ItemPart NumberDescription1-Ignition coil (6 off)The ECM us es a s eparat e ignit ion coil for each spark plug. The ignit ion coils are of t he plug t op des ign, which at t ach t o t he t op ofthe s park plug. The coils are s ecured to the cams haft hous ing wit h a bolt.
The coil has a rubber seal, which s eals t he coil in the s park plug hole in t he cylinder head, prevent ing t he ingres s of mois t ure anddebris around t he spark plug. Thes e coils eliminat e t he requirement for HT leads , which in turn improves t he ignition s ys t emreliabilit y.
Each coil has a 3-pin female connect or, which provide for a bat tery volt age ignit ion feed, an eart h for t he s econdary winding and aprimary winding negat ive (s wit ch) terminal. The s wit ch t erminal of each coil is connect ed t o a separat e pin on t he ECM to allowindependent s wit ching.For addit ional information, refer t o: Elect ronic Engine Cont rols (303-14A Elect ronic Engine Controls - I6 3.2L Pet rol, Des cript ion andOperation).

5-Bolt (2 of)6-Variable tract valveThe intake manifold att aches t o t he cylinder head wit h 6 bolt s and t he oil pan with 2 bolt s .
The manifold is capable of varying both int ake tract length and plenum volume by means of 2 separat e valves .
At low engine s peeds , long int ake tract s are ut iliz ed to provide opt imum engine t orque. Short er t racts are us ed at medium s peeds ,again, t o optimiz e engine t orque for t he exist ing engine s peed range.
At higher engine s peeds the benefit s of opt imizing t he t ract lengt hs are outweighed by the necess it y of maintaining anappropriate supply of air to meet t he engines requirement s . Therefore, t he plenum valve is opened t o create a s ingle, largeplenum volume to provide t he maximum quant ity of air t o charge the engines cylinders.For addit ional information, refer t o: Int ake Air Dis tribut ion and Filtering (303-12A Int ake Air Dis t ribution and Filt ering - I6 3.2LPet rol, Des cript ion and O perat ion).

One manifold is us ed for cylinders 1 t o 3 and t he secondmanifold is us ed for cylinders 4 t o 6. The manifolds are sealed t o the cylinder head wit h a gas ket and s ecured with 14 bolts .
Each manifold comprises 3 fabricat ed branches , which merge int o an int egral cat alyt ic convert er. A t hreaded bos s is posit ionedwhere t he 3 branches merge and provides for t he fit ment of a pre-catalyst Heat ed O xygen Sens or (HO2S).
