Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the eng\
ine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler
to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow rai\
ses pressure in the intake manifold and increases
engine power over that developed by the normally-aspirated engine. The c\
harge air cooler (which resembles a
radiator) is located between the turbo-compressor and inlet manifold.
Fuel system
The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.

Electrical system
Three-way catalytic converter - general information
l Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particular\
ly involving the electrical, fuel or
distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalyt\
ic converter temperatures. Do not continue to
operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of po\
wer or other unusual operating conditions,
such as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will h\
elp avoid malfunctions that could damage
the three-way catalytic converter.
l Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or le\
aves, which can come into contact with the
hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind\
and weather conditions.
l Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermitte\
ntly firing or flooded engine can cause three-
way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
l Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the\
Electronic Control Module, or the
vehicle may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic converter or ex\
haust system overheating.
This includes:
- Altering fuel injection settings or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components\
.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
