Air Distribution
Printable View (9 KB)
NOTE: The air distribution system of this vehicle cannot be equipped with a cabin air filter.
There are two sources of air available to the air distribution system:
· outside air
· recirculated air
Recirculated air is only used during MAX A/C, AUTOMATIC and OFF modes if equipped with EATC, or
MAX A/C and OFF if equipped with manual A/C.
Air distribution within the vehicle is determined by the function selector switch position, if equipped with manual A/C. If equipped with EATC air distribution is controlled by the electronic automatic temperature control system in the AUTOMATIC mode, but it can be overridden by the driver if desired. Airflow control doors are used to direct airflow within the heater air plenum chamber. Vacuum control motors are used to position these airflow control doors. For additional information concerning system airflow, refer to Section 412-00 .
The air distribution system is designed to provide airflow from the defroster duct when no vacuum is applied to any of the vacuum control motors. This is done to make sure defrost is available in the event of a system vacuum leak.
Air enters the passenger compartment from the:
· instrument panel A/C register.
· floor duct.
· defroster duct.
· side window demisters.
The center panel duct, defroster duct, and side window demister hoses are supplied together as a single air distribution assembly.
Passenger compartment air is exhausted from the vehicle through open windows or luggage compartment air vents.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
In the process of removing the engine, you will come across a number of steps which call for the removal of a separate component or system, such as “disconnect the exhaust system” or “remove the radiator.” In most instances, a detailed removal procedure can be found elsewhere in this manual.
It is virtually impossible to list each individual wire and hose which must be disconnected, simply because so many different model and engine combinations have been manufactured. Careful observation and common sense are the best possible approaches to any repair procedure.
Removal and installation of the engine can be made easier if you follow these basic points:
If you have to drain any of the fluids, use a suitable container.
Always tag any wires or hoses and, if possible, the components they came from before disconnecting them.
Because there are so many bolts and fasteners involved, store and label the retainers from components separately in muffin pans, jars or coffee cans. This will prevent confusion during installation.
After unbolting the transmission or transaxle, always make sure it is properly supported.
If it is necessary to disconnect the air conditioning system, have this service performed by a qualified technician using a recovery/recycling station. If the system does not have to be disconnected, unbolt the compressor and set it aside.
When unbolting the engine mounts, always make sure the engine is properly supported. When removing the engine, make sure that any lifting devices are properly attached to the engine. It is recommended that if your engine is supplied with lifting hooks, your lifting apparatus be attached to them.
Lift the engine from its compartment slowly, checking that no hoses, wires or other components are still connected.
After the engine is clear of the compartment, place it on an engine stand or workbench.
After the engine has been removed, you can perform a partial or full teardown of the engine using the procedures outlined in this manual.
4.6L Engine
If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, refer to Section 1 for information regarding the implications of servicing your A/C system yourself. Only a MVAC-trained, EPA-certified, automotive technician should service the A/C system or its components.
1. Have the A/C system recovered by a MVAC-trained, EPA-certified, automotive technician.
2. Disconnect the negative, then the positive battery cable.
3. Drain the engine oil and the cooling system into suitable containers.

Luggage Compartment Door
Preheat Procedure
Note:
Be sure that any body wax is removed before using the infrared lamps.
The recommended preheat treatment requires the use of an infrared lamp bank. The bank should be positioned approximately 750 mm (30 inches) from the desired location of the body.
Suspension
There are three major components in the rear suspension system:
l Rear suspension lower arms (5A649)
l Rear springs (5560)
l Rear shock absorbers (18080)
The rear axle housing is suspended from the vehicle frame as follows:
l Two short rear suspension arm and bushings (5500) control the side-to-side sway of the vehicle.
l Two longer rear suspension lower arms manage the forward and rearward movement of the rear axle housing.
Exhaust System
WARNING:
THE NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS VERY HIGH. NEVER ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY PART OF THE SYSTEM UNTIL IT HAS COOLED. BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WHEN WORKING AROUND THE THREE WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER (TWC) (5E212). THE TEMPERATURE OF THE THREE WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER RISES TO A HIGH LEVEL AFTER ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF ENGINE OPERATION.
CAUTION:
When servicing exhaust system or removing exhaust components, disconnect all heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) (9F472) at the wiring connectors to prevent damage to the heated oxygen sensors and wiring harness. Refer to «Section 03-14» for location of the heated oxygen sensors.
This section covers the general exhaust system adjustments and service procedures.
The factory-installed exhaust systems shown in the illustrations in «Removal and Installation» differ from the service replacement systems in the number of pieces used. When making a service replacement, refer to the Master Parts Catalog for the current assemblies.
Always refer to the Master Parts Catalog for parts usage and interchangeability before replacing a component part of the exhaust system.
The exhaust systems are equipped with the following:
l two three way catalytic converters.
l twomufflers (5230).
l interconnecting exhaust inlet pipes (5246).
The exhaust system must be free of the following:
l leaks
l binding
l grounding
l excessive vibrations
These conditions are usually caused by loose, broken or misaligned:
l clamps.
l shields.
l brackets.
l pipes.
If any of these conditions exist, check the exhaust system components and alignment. Adjust or replace as necessary to maintain the specified clearances (refer to the illustrations). Replace these parts if they are damaged or badly corroded. Do not attempt to service brackets, clamps or insulators.
Refer to the appropriate system illustration when servicing the exhaust system.
Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)
The three way catalytic converter:
l is mounted in the engine exhaust stream.
l plays a major role in the emission control system.
l works as a gas reactor.
l provides catalytic function which speeds up the heat producing chemical reaction between components of the exhaust gases in order to reduce the air pollutants.
l houses catalytic material that is made of a ceramic substrate which is coated with a high surface area alumina and impregnated with catalytically active platinum.
l provides access to the surface of the catalyst material that plays a major role in the heat producing chemical reaction.
Precautions
WARNING:
EXHAUST GASES CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE WHICH CAN BE HARMFUL TO HEALTH AND ARE POTENTIALLY LETHAL. EXHAUST SYSTEM LEAKS SHOULD BE SERVICED IMMEDIATELY. NEVER OPERATE THE ENGINE IN ENCLOSED AREAS.
CAUTION:
Leaded fuel must not be used in a vehicle fitted with a three way catalytic converter–the lead will damage the catalyst.
The following precautions must be observed when operating a vehicle equipped withthree way catalytic converters.
If a vehicle is continually misfueled:
l the lead in the fuel will be deposited in the converter and completely blanket the catalyst.
l lead combines chemically with platinum to damage the catalyst.
l continuous use of leaded fuels can totally destroy the catalyst and render the converter useless.
The addition of lead to the converter can also solidify the catalyst, causing:
l excessive back pressure in the exhaust system.
l possible engine damage.
Extremely high temperatures of 1100°C (2012°F) or over, due to misfiring or over-rich fuel/air mixture, will cause the ceramic base to sinter or burn, destroying the converter.
The three way catalytic converters have been designed to provide a long service life. No maintenance is necessary for the three way catalytic converters. However, the following conditions must be avoided:
l Do not drive downhill with the gears engaged and the ignition switch OFF.
l Do not drive with misfiring engine.
l Do not run the engine continuously with a misfiring spark plug (12405). When idling is unstable or when the engine lacks power, refer to the «Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis Manual».
l Do not park or stop the vehicle over combustible material. If the vehicle is parked or stopped over combustible material such as dry grass, the material may be ignited by the high temperature of the three way catalytic converter and muffler.
