Preliminary Checks

1984 Chrysler E Class 2.2 ESECTION Preliminary Checks

Most driveability problems in the Chrysler multi-point EFI system result from faulty or poor wiring, or loose and/or leaking hose connections. To avoid unnecessary component testing, a visual check should be performed before beginning trouble shooting procedures to help spot these common faults. A preliminary visual check should nclude:

  • Air ducts to air cleaner, from the air cleaner to turbocharger and from turbocharger to throttle body.
  • All component electrical connections must be clean, tight and unbroken.

Check vacuum lines for secure, leak-free connections in these reas:

  • Throttle body.
  • EGR and purge solenoids (located on a common bracket at right rear corner of engine compartment).
  • Vapor canister.
  • PCV valve to turbocharger vacuum port.
  • Back pressure transducer.
  • MAP sensor.

Ensure that the following electrical connectors are securely ttached:

  • 21-way connectors (2) at logic module (Blue connector to Blue socket, Red connector to Red socket).
  • 3-way connector at MAP sensor.
  • 3-way and 1-way connectors at ASD relay.
  • 12-way and 10-way connectors at power module.
  • 3-way connector at EGR and purge solenoids.
  • 2-way connector at speed sensor (located in line with speedometer cable).
  • 2-way connector at charge temperature sensor.
  • 6-way connector at throttle body.
  • 2-way connector at each fuel injector.
  • O2 sensor connector.
  • 2-way connector at coolant temperature sensor.
  • 3-way connector at distributor.
  • 1-way connector at knock sensor (located at rear of valve cover).
  • Harness ground eyelet mounting to intake manifold.
