ENGINE - 3.0L (4V)

ENGINE
The 3.0L (4V) is a V-6 engine that has the following features:
l Dual overhead camshafts

l Four valves per cylinder
l Sequential multiport fuel injection
l Composite lower intake manifold and composite upper intake manifold
l Aluminum cylinder heads
l 2-piece aluminum cylinder block
l Electronic ignition with 6 ignition coils
IDENTIFICATION
For quick identification refer to the safety certification decal:
l The decal is located on the LH front door lock face panel.

l An engine identification label is also attached to the engine.
l The symbol code on the identification tag identifies each engine for determining parts usage; for instance,
engine displacement in liters or cubic inch displacement and model year.
EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
For operation and required maintenance of the exhaust emission control devices used on this engine, see
ENGINE EMISSION CONTROL - 2.3L AND 3.0L (4V) .
INDUCTION SYSTEM
The SFI provides the fuel/air mixture needed for the combustion in the cylinders. The 6 solenoid-operated fuel
injectors:
l Are mounted between the fuel rail and the intake manifold.
l Meter fuel into the air intake stream in accordance with the engine demand.
l Are positioned so that their tips direct fuel just ahead of the engine intake valves.
VALVE TRAIN
The camshafts are mounted in the cylinder heads and act against a roller follower to open and close the valves.

11:27:25 a. m. Page 1 © 2011 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC.
A hydraulic lash adjuster is located on one side of the roller follower and the valve tip on the opposite end. The
camshafts are driven off the front of each cylinder head by 2 chains (one each side). Both of the chains are
driven by sprockets that are located on the crankshaft, just in front of the oil pump.
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM
All engines are equipped with a closed-type positive crankcase ventilation system recycling the crankcase
vapors to the upper intake manifold.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The engine lubrication system is of the force-feed type in which oil is supplied under full pressure to the
crankshaft, connecting rod bearings and timing chain tensioners. The flow of oil to the valve tappets and valve
train is controlled by a restricting orifice located in the head gasket.
OIL PUMP
The lubrication system is designed to provide optimum oil flow to critical components of the engine through its
entire operating range.
The heart of the system is a positive displacement internal gear oil pump.
Generically this design is known as a gerotor pump, which operates as follows:
l The oil pump is mounted on the front face of the cylinder block.
l The inner rotor is piloted on the crankshaft post and is driven through flats on the crankshaft.
l System pressure is limited by an integral internally-vented relief valve which directs the bypassed oil
back to the inlet side of the oil pump.
l Oil pump displacement has been selected to provide adequate volume to make sure of correct oil pressure
both at hot idle and maximum speed.
l The relief valve calibration protects the system from excessive pressure during high viscosity conditions.
l The relief valve is designed to provide adequate connecting rod bearing lubrication under high-
temperature and high-speed conditions.
COOLING SYSTEM
The engine cooling system includes the following:
l Radiator
l Dual electric fan assemblies
l Degas bottle (aids in maintaining the correct volume of engine coolant)
l Coolant thermostat
l Coolant hoses

ACCESSORY DRIVE
The accessory drive:
l has a single serpentine belt with 6 ribs.

l has an automatic drive belt tensioner.
l has a 3-ribbed water pump belt.
New drive belts must be of the same type as originally installed.
Accessory Drive Belt
Fig. 1: Identifying Accessory Drive Belt Components
Check the drive belt condition at 160,000 km (100,000 miles) then after every 24,000 km (15,000 miles).
BELT TENSIONER
Automatic tensioners are calibrated to provide the correct amount of tension to the belt for a given accessory
drive system. Unless a spring or damping band within the tensioner assembly breaks, or some other mechanical
part fails, there is no need to check the tensioner for correct tension.
