CMP Synchronizer: Installation
NOTE:
If the replacement synchronizer assembly sensor housing does not contain a plastic locator cover tool, a special service tool such as Syncro Positioning Tool (T96T-12200-A), one must be obtained prior to installation of the replacement synchronizer assembly. Failure to follow this procedure will result in improper synchronizer assembly alignment. This will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage.
- If the plastic locator cover tool is not attached to the replacement synchronizer assembly, attach syncro positioning tool as follows:
- Engage synchronizer assembly vane into the radial slot of the tool.
- Rotate tool on synchronizer assembly until tool boss engages notch in synchronizer assembly. See Fig 1 .
- Transfer oil pump intermediate shaft from old synchronizer assembly to replacement synchronizer assembly.
- Install synchronizer assembly so that drive gear engagement occurs when arrow on locator tool is pointed approximately 30 degrees counterclockwise from the rear face of the cylinder block. See Fig 2 . This step will locate camshaft position sensor electrical connector in the preremoval position.
- Install hold-down clamp (washer and bolt) and tighten bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Remove syncro positioning tool. If camshaft position sensor electrical connector is not positioned properly, DO NOT reposition the connector by rotating the synchronizer assembly. This will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage. Remove the synchronizer assembly and repeat installation procedure, beginning with step 1 .
- Install CMP sensor and retaining screws. Tighten screws to specification.
- Connect fuel charging wiring connector to camshaft position sensor stator assembly. Connect battery ground cable.
