Exhaust 16 illustrations ~1057 words

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The exhaust pipe is divided into three parts.

INTRODUCTION

Intake leaks usually create driveability issues that are not obviously related to the intake system. Exhaust leaks or abnormal noise is caused by cracks, gaskets and fittings, or by exhaust pipe or muffler damage due to impacts during travel. The exhaust leaks from these sections and causes the exhaust noise to increase. There may be cases when the system contacts the body and vibration noise is generated.

TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you have exhausted most of the possible ways to find an intake or exhaust system fault.

  1. Gather information from the customer.
  2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
  3. Find the malfunction by following the Symptom Chart.
  4. Verify malfunction is eliminated.

SYMPTOM CHART

DIAGNOSIS

  1. STEP 1. Start the engine. Have an assistant stay in the driver's seat. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Have the assistant rev the engine while searching for exhaust leaks. Q: Is the exhaust leaking? YES : Go to Step 2. NO : The procedure is complete.
  2. STEP 2. Check the gasket for cracks, damage. Q: Is the gasket damaged? YES : Replace the gasket, then go to Step 1 . NO : Go to Step 3.
  3. STEP 3. Check for loosening in each coupling section. Q: Is there any loosening in any section? YES : Tighten, then go to Step 1 . NO : There is no action to be taken.
  1. STEP 1. Start the engine. Have an assistant stay in the drivers seat. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Have the assistant rev the engine while searching for exhaust leaks. Q: Is any abnormal noise generated? YES : Go to Step 2. NO : The procedure is complete.
  2. STEP 2. Check for missing parts in the muffler. Tap the muffler lightly to check for loose baffles, etc. Q: Are there any missing parts in the muffler? YES : Replace, then go to Step 1 . NO : Go to Step 3.
  3. STEP 3. Check the hanger for cracks. Q: Is the hanger cracked? YES : Replace, then go to Step 1 . NO : Go to Step 4.
  4. STEP 4. Check for interference of the pipes and muffler with the body. Q: Are the pipes and muffler interfering with the body? YES : Repair, then go to Step 1 . NO : Go to Step 5.
  5. STEP 5. Check the heat protectors. Q: Are any heat protectors loose or damaged? YES : Tighten or replace, then go to Step 1 . NO : Go to Step 6.
  6. STEP 6. Check the pipes and muffler for damage. Q: Are the pipes and muffler damaged? YES : Replace, then go to Step 1 . NO : There is no action to be taken.

  1. Use a gasket scraper or wire brush to completely eliminate all gasket material on the gasket mounting surface.
  2. Apply a bead of the sealant to the cylinder head mating surface of the thermostat case as shown. Specified Sealant: 3M™ AAD part No.8672, 3M™ AAD part No.8679/8678 or equivalent
  3. Apply sealant to the thread of the thermostat case assembly bolts as shown. Specified Sealant: 3M™ AAD part No.4170 or equivalent
  4. With the sealant still wet (within 15 minutes after the sealant is applied), install the thermostat case. Do not apply the sealant in an area more than the required.

Scheme 9: >> B<< RADIATOR LOWER HOSE CONNECTION
  1. Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water inlet fitting.
  2. Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.

INSPECTION

Check the following points; replace the part if a problem is found.

INTAKE MANIFOLD CHECK

  1. Check for damage or cracking of any part.
  2. Clogging of the negative pressure (vacuum) outlet port, or clogging of the exhaust gas recirculation passages.
  3. Using a straight edge and feeler gauge, check for distortion of the cylinder head installation surface. Standard value: 0.15 mm (0.006 inch) or less Limit: 0.20 mm (0.008 inch)

<< A >> POWER STEERING OIL PUMP AND BRACKET ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

  1. With the hose installed, remove power steering oil pump and bracket assembly.
  2. Tie the removed power steering oil pump and bracket assembly, with strings at a position where they will not interfere with the installation or removal of the exhaust manifold.
