Chrysler Stratus Convertible. Manual — part 30

OXYGEN SENSOR 1/1 UPSTREAM—2.0/2.4L

REMOVAL

(1) Remove the negative battery cable.
(2) Raise and support vehicle.
(3) Disconnect electrical connector from sensor.
(4) Remove sensor using an oxygen sensor crow

foot wrench such as Snap-On tool YA8875 or equiva-
lent (Fig. 23).

INSTALLATION

(1) After removing the sensor, the exhaust mani-

fold threads must be cleaned with an 18 mm X 1.5 +
6E tap. If reusing the original sensor, coat the sensor
threads with an anti-seize compound such as Loctite

t

771-64 or equivalent. New sensors have compound on
the threads and do not require an additional coating.
Tighten the sensor to 28 N·m (20 ft. lbs.) torque.

(2) Connect electrical connector to sensor.
(3) Lower vehicle.
(4) Install the negative battery cable.

OXYGEN SENSOR 1/2 DOWNSTREAM

The downstream heated oxygen sensor threads into

the exhaust pipe behind the catalytic convertor.

REMOVAL

(1) Remove the negative battery cable.
(2) Raise vehicle.
(3) Disconnect electrical connector from sensor.
(4) Disconnect sensor electrical harness from clips

along body.

(5) Remove sensor using an oxygen sensor crow

foot wrench such as Snap-On tool YA8875 or equiva-
lent (Fig. 24).

INSTALLATION

(1) After removing the sensor, the exhaust mani-

fold threads must be cleaned with an 18 mm X 1.5 +
6E tap. If reusing the original sensor, coat the sensor
threads with an anti-seize compound such as Loctite

t

771-64 or equivalent. New sensors have compound on
the threads and do not require an additional coating.
Tighten the sensor to 28 N·m (20 ft. lbs.) torque.

(2) Connect sensor electrical harness to clips along

body.

(3) Connect electrical connector to sensor.
(4) Lower vehicle.
(5) Install the negative battery cable.

AIR INLET RESONATOR

2.0L

REMOVAL

(1) Loosen screw holding resonator to throttle body

(Fig. 25).

(2) Loosen clamp holding resonator to air inlet

tube. Remove resonator.

INSTALLATION

(1) Install air inlet resonator to throttle body.
(2) Install air inlet tube to resonator.
(3) Tighten clamps to 3

6.5 N·m (2565 in. lbs.)

torque.

AIR CLEANER

The air cleaner housing attaches to the inner

fender in front of the driver’s side strut tower (Fig.
26). An ambient air duct supplies underhood air for
the engine.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

2.0L
The engine coolant temperature sensor threads

into the rear of the cylinder head (Fig. 29).

REMOVAL

(1) Remove the negative battery cable.
(2) With the engine cold, drain coolant until level

drops below sensor level. Refer to the Cooling System
section.

(3) Disconnect coolant sensor electrical connector.
(4) Remove coolant sensor.

INSTALLATION

(1) Install coolant sensor. Tighten sensor to: 19

6 2

N·m (14

6 2 ft. lbs.) torque.

(2) Attach electrical connector to sensor.
(3) Fill cooling system. Refer to the Cooling Sys-

tem section.

(4) Install the negative battery cable.

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR

The vehicle speed sensor is located in the transmis-

sion extension housing (Fig. 30) or (Fig. 31).

REMOVAL

(1) Remove the negative battery cable.
(2) Raise and support vehicle.
(3) Disconnect electrical connector from sensor.
(4) Remove the sensor mounting bolt.
(5) Lift the sensor out of the transaxle extension

housing. Ensure the O-ring was removed with the
sensor.

INSTALLATION

The speed sensor gear meshes with a gear on the

output shaft.

(1) With O-ring in place, install sensor.
(2) Install mounting bolt and tighten to 7 N·m (60

in.lbs.).

(3) Connect electrical connector to sensor.
(4) Lower vehicle.
(5) Install the negative battery cable.
