TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

a Refer to the procedure in this article.

The 3.0L engine has

  1. a V-block with 6 cylinders and splayed crankpins.
  2. a distributorless ignition system.
  3. a multi-port, sequential fuel injection (SFI) system.
  4. overhead valves.
  5. hydraulic valve tappets for automatic lash adjustment.
  6. connecting rod parting faces that are unique with an interference fit.

For basic engine mechanical concerns, refer to ENGINE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article. For driveability concerns, refer to the INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE ENGINES article.

Scheme 174: REMOVAL
  1. Disconnect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to «BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES»(ref-268774) article.
  2. Remove the air cleaner outlet pipe. For additional information, refer to «INTAKE AIR DISTRIBUTION AND FILTERING»(ref-268732) article.
  3. Remove the bolt and the snow shield.
  4. Disconnect the accelerator cable, speed control cable and the return spring.
  5. Disconnect the accelerator cable and speed control cable from the accelerator bracket.
  6. Disconnect the throttle position (TP) sensor and idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connectors. Disconnect the wire retainer.
  7. Disconnect the engine vacuum harness-to-vacuum reservoir hose connection.
  8. Disconnect the exhaust manifold-to-exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve tube from the EGR valve. To install, tighten to 50 Nm (37 lb-ft).
  9. Disconnect the fuel vapor hose from the intake manifold.
  10. Disconnect the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid electrical connector.
  11. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose and the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve tube.
  12. Remove the oil level indicator tube bracket nut and position the tube and bracket out of the way. To install, tighten to 18 Nm (13 lb-ft).
  13. Remove the nut and the upper intake manifold brace. To install, tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in).
  14. Remove the bolts, the stud bolt and the upper intake manifold. Remove and discard the gaskets. Clean and inspect all mating surfaces.
