Timing Cover: Service and Repair
ENGINE FRONT COVER REMOVAL / INSTALLATION - 2.3L
Removal
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Caution: The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, with diamond washers between the flange faces on
each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if you loosen the pulley. Therefore, the engine must be retimed each time the
damper is removed. Otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
2. Remove the crankshaft pulley.
3. Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor electrical connector and the wiring harness pin-type retainers.
Note: A new CKP sensor must be installed whenever the old sensor is removed.
4. Remove and discard the CKP sensor.
