CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
There is no regularly scheduled maintenance on
any Chrysler catalytic converter. If damaged, the con-
verter must be replaced.
CAUTION:
Due to exterior physical similarities of
some catalytic converters with pipe assemblies,
extreme care should be taken with replacement
parts.
There
are
internal
converter
differences
required in some parts of the country (particularly
California vehicles).
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Models equipped with 2.5L engine have both oxy-
gen sensor located in the converter (Fig. 3).
NOTE: 2.0L SOHC model is used only in Europe.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR)
To assist in the control of oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
in engine exhaust, all engines are equipped with an
exhaust gas recirculation system. The use of exhaust
gas to dilute incoming air/fuel mixtures lowers peak
flame temperatures during combustion, thus limiting
the formation of NOx.
Exhaust gases are taken from opening in the
exhaust manifold passage to the intake manifold.
Refer to Section 25 for a complete description, Diag-
nosis and Service Procedures on the exhaust gas
recirculation system and components.
HEAT SHIELD
Heat shields are needed to protect both the vehicle
and the environment from the high temperatures
developed near the catalytic converters (Fig. 4). All
engines are equipped with a heat shield crimped on
the top of the convertor.
Refer to Group 23, Body and Sheet Metal for ser-
vice procedures. Avoid application of rust preven-
tion compounds or undercoating materials to
exhaust system floor pan heat shields on cars
so equipped. Light over spray near the edges is
permitted. Application of coating will greatly
reduce the efficiency of the heat shields result-
ing in excessive floor pan temperatures and
objectionable fumes.
The combustion reaction caused by the catalyst
releases additional heat in the exhaust system. Caus-
