REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS. CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
ENGINE MECHANICAL (6VE1 3.5L) 6A-3 General Description Engine Cleanliness And Care An automobile engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances that are measured in the thousandths of a millimeter (ten thousandths of an inch). Accordingly, when any internal engine parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important. Throughout this section, it should be understood that proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair procedure. This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated. · A liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to all friction areas during assembly to protect and lubricate the surfaces on initial operation. · Whenever valve train components, pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and crankshaft journal bearings are removed for service, they should be retained in order. · At the time of installation, they should be installed in the same locations and with the same mating surfaces as when removed. · Battery cables should be disconnected before any major work is performed on the engine. Failure to disconnect cables may result in damage to wire harness or other electrical parts. · The six cylinders of this engine are identified by numbers; Right side cylinders 1, 3 and 5, Left side cylinders 2, 4 and 6, as counted from crankshaft pulley side to flywheel side. General Information on Engine Service The following information on engine service should be noted carefully, as it is important in preventing damage and contributing to reliable engine performance. · When raising or supporting the engine for any reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan. Due to the small clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump strainer, jacking against the oil pan may cause damage to the oil pick-up unit. · The 12-volt electrical system is capable of damaging circuits. When performing any work where electrical terminals could possibly be grounded, the ground cable of the battery should be disconnected at the battery. · Any time the intake air duct or air cleaner is removed, the intake opening should be covered. This will protect against accidental entrance of foreign material into the cylinder which could cause extensive damage when the engine is started. Cylinder Block The cylinder block is made of aluminum die-cast casting for 75°V-type six cylinders. It has a rear plate integrated structure and employs a deep skirt. The cylinder liner is cast and the liner inner diameter and crankshaft journal diameter are classified into grades. The crankshaft is supported by four bearings of which width is different between No.2, No.3 and No.1, No.4; the width of No.3 bearing on the body side is different in order to support the thrust bearing. The bearing cap is made of nodular cast iron and each bearing cap uses four bolts and two side bolts. Cylinder Head The cylinder head, made of aluminum alloy casting employs a pent-roof type combustion chamber with a spark plug in the center. The intake and exhaust valves are placed in V-type design. The ports are cross-flow type. Valve Train Intake and exhaust camshaft on the both side of banks are driven through an camshaft drive gear by timing belt. The valves are operated by the camshaft and the valve clearance is adjusted to select suitable thickness shim. Intake Manifold The intake manifold system is composed of the aluminum cast common chamber and intake manifold attached with six fuel injectors. Exhaust Manifold The exhaust manifold is made of nodular cast iron. Pistons and Connecting Rods Aluminum pistons are used after selecting the grade that meets the cylinder bore diameter. Each piston has two compression rings and one oil ring. The piston pin made of chromium steel is offset 1mm toward the thrust side, and the thrust pressure of piston to the cylinder wall varies gradually as the piston travels. The connecting rods are made of forged steel. The connecting rod bearings are graded for correct size selection. Crankshaft and Bearings The crankshaft is made of Ductile cast-iron. Pins and journals are graded for correct size selection for their bearing. Engine Control Module (ECM) The ECM location is on the common charmber.
6A-4 ENGINE MECHANICAL (6VE1 3.5L) Engine Diagnosis Hard Starting 1. Starting Motor Does Not Turn Over Troubleshooting Procedure Turn on headlights and starter switch. Symptom Possible Cause Action Headlights go out or dim considerably Battery run down or under charged Recharge or replace battery Terminals poorly connected Clean battery posts and terminals and connect properly Starting motor coil circuit shorted Overhaul or replace Starting motor defective Overhaul or replace 2. Ignition Trouble - Starting Motor Turns Over But Engine Does Not Start Spark Test Disconnect an ignition coil from any spark plug. Connect the spark plug tester 5-8840-0383-0, start the engine, and check if a spark is generated in the spark plug tester. Before starting the engine, make sure that the spark plug tester is properly grounded. To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the part where insulation of the ignition coil is broken while the engine is running. Symptom Possible Cause Action Spark jumps across gap Spark plug defective Clean or replace Ignition timing incorrect Refer to Ignition System Fuel not reaching fuel injector(s) or engine Refer to item 3 (Trouble in fuel system) Valve timing incorrect Adjust Engine lacks compression Refer to item 4 (Engine lacks compression) No sparking takes place Ignition coil disconnected or broken Connect properly or replace Electronic Ignition System with module Replace Poor connections in engine harness Correct Engine Control Module cable disconnected or defective Correct or replace
ENGINE MECHANICAL (6VE1 3.5L) 6A-5 3. Trouble In Fuel System Symptom Possible Cause Action Starting motor turns over and spark occurs but engine does not start. Fuel tank empty Fill Water in fuel system Clean Fuel filter clogged Replace filter Fuel pipe clogged Clean or replace Fuel pump defective Replace Fuel pump circuit open Correct or replace Evaporative Emission Control System circuit clogged Correct or replace Multiport Fuel Injection System faulty Refer to “Electronic Fuel Injection" section 4. Engine Lacks Compression Symptom Possible Cause Action Engine lacks compression Spark plug loosely fitted Tighten to specified torque Valve timing incorrect Adjust Cylinder head gasket defective Replace gasket Valve incorrectly seated Lap valve Valve stem seized Replace valve and valve guide Valve spring weakened or broken Replace Cylinder or piston rings worn Overhaul engine Piston ring seized Overhaul engine. Engine Compression Test Procedure 1. Start and run the engine until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. 2. Turn the engine off. 3. Remove all the spark plugs. 4. Remove ignition coil fuse (15A) and disable the ignition system. 5. Remove the fuel pump relay from the relay and fuse box. 6. Engage the starter and check that the cranking speed is approximately 300 rpm. 7. Install cylinder compression gauge into spark plug hole. 8. With the throttle valve opened fully, keep the starter engaged until the compression gage needle reaches the maximum level. Note the reading. 9. Repeat the test with each cylinder. If the compression pressure obtained falls below the limit, engine overhaul is necessary. Limit; 1000 kPa (145 psi)
