ADJUSTMENTS
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
For testing and matching engine electronics control module to throttle valve control module. See
THROTTLE VALVE CONTROL MODULE (J338) in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in
ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
VALVE CLEARANCE
Engine is equipped with non-adjustable, non-serviceable hydraulic valve adjusters. Irregular valve adjuster
noise during cranking is normal. If valve adjuster(s) are noisy under any other condition inspect valve
adjusters. See HYDRAULIC VALVE ADJUSTERS .
HYDRAULIC VALVE ADJUSTERS
Checking
1. Start engine and run until cooling fan cycles at least once. Increase engine speed to 2500 RPM for 2
minutes or test drive vehicle and observe valve train noise. If valve train noise is still considered
noisy, go to next step.
2. Turn engine off. Remove valve cover. Rotate crankshaft until camshaft lobes point upward on lifter
being checked. Using a wooden or plastic wedge, push down on top of lifter. See Fig. 2 . Try inserting
a .008" (.20 mm) feeler gauge between top of lifter and camshaft. If feeler gauge fits between top of
lifter and camshaft, re p lace fault y lifter.
NOTE: A drive by wire throttle system is used on this model vehicle. No throttle
cable adjustment required.
WARNING: ALWAYS release fuel pressure before disconnecting fuel injection related
component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components.
CAUTION: DO NOT start engine for about 30 minutes after installing camshafts.
Hydraulic valve lifters must bleed down or valves may strike pistons. Rotate
crankshaft by hand 2 full revolutions before starting engine to ensure valves
do not strike pistons.
NOTE: Valve lifters are not repairable or adjustable. Replace faulty lifters. Irregular
valve train noise is normal when starting engine.

run until it stops. Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Install fuel pump relay. Slight
p ressure may remain in system. Before disconnecting any fuel system line, cover connector with a clean
shop towel.
COOLING SYSTEM BLEEDING
1. Ensure coolant drain valve is closed and all hoses are secure. See Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 . For help in
identifying components and component locations, refer to illustration. See Fig. 5 and Fig. 6
2. Fill expansion tank to proper level. Fill to Max mark on expansion tank (up to 2001 models) or to
upper portion of shaded area on expansion tank (2002 models). Install expansion tank cap. See Fig. 7
and Fig. 8 .
3. Put heater controls in Off position. Start engine and raise engine speed to 2000 RPM for about 3
minutes. Ensure cooling fan cycles on and off. Return engine to idle. Check coolant level in expansion
tank. With engine at normal operating temperature, coolant should be at the Max mark indicated on
expansion tank. Once engine has completely cooled, coolant should be between Max and Low marks.
Add coolant as necessar y .
disconnecting battery.
NOTE: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may
lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems
have completed a relearn cycle.
NOTE: For reassembly reference, label all electrical connectors, vacuum hoses and
fuel lines before removal. Place mating marks on other major assemblies
before removal.
