The 3.2L (195.2 cu. in.) engine is a SOHC 18-Valve 90° V6. The engine is a modular design. The engine uses a 90-degree V-angle rotating assembly which provides space for long intake manifold runners which provide high torque across a broad range of engine speeds for driving ease. The engine uses a split-pin crankshaft to provide even firing, and a balance shaft to compensate for the rocking motion which occurs with a 90-degree V6.

Engine diagnosis is helpful in determining the causes of malfunctions not detected and remedied by routine maintenance.

These malfunctions may be classified as either mechanical (e.g, a strange noise), or performance (e.g, engine idles rough and stalls).

Additional tests and diagnostic procedures may be necessary for specific engine malfunctions that cannot be isolated with the Service Diagnosis charts. Information concerning additional tests and diagnosis is provided within the following
