Engine Controls - Remove/Install/Overhaul: Introduction

NOTE: Monaco and Premier models (VIN U) are manufactured with either an early or late design. Only late design models are covered in this article. Late design models are equipped with DIS, with engine controller (SBEC) located next to battery. Service procedures for early design models, with engine code Z7X711, are the same as those found in 1990 Monaco and Premier ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.

NOTE: Shadow and Sundance Convertible models equipped with 2.5L TBI engine are manufactured with either early or late design fuel, ignition and emission systems. Late design vehicles use an epoxy ignition coil, mounted on thermostat housing, and a high pressure fuel system requiring quick-connect fuel fittings. Early design vehicles use an oil-filled ignition coil, mounted on right inner fender, and a low pressure fuel system using hoses and clamps.

Removal, overhaul and installation procedures are covered in this article. If component removal and installation is primarily an unbolt and bolt-on procedure, only a torque specification may be furnished.
