WARNING 
All  fuels  are  very  flammable  and  can  burn  or
cause an explosion. DO NOT use an open flame to
check  the  fuel  level  or  to  check  for  leaks  in  the
fuel system.
No smoking.
Breathing  fuel  vapor  may  cause  nausea,  uncon-
sciousness, or death. Long-term exposure to gas-
oline  vapors  may  cause  liver  or  kidney  damage
and cancer. Avoid breathing vapor.
12.  Disconnect the fuel  lines  at the engine. Put  caps
on  fuel  lines  to  prevent  fuel  leakage.  See  Fig-
ure 22.
13.  Disconnect  the  engine  harness  connectors  from
the chassis harness connectors. See Figure 21.
14.  Disconnect  engine  wiring  harness  connectors
from  proportional  valve  connectors,  transducer
connectors,  solenoid  valve  connector,  tempera-
ture sensor connector, and transmission. See Fig-
ure 24.
15.  Remove  exhaust  pipe  to  exhaust  manifold.  See
Fuel System PSI 2.4L 0900YRM1757
16.  Use the access port on the side of engine and re-
move  the  four  bolts that  attached the  flywheel  to
the torque converter. See Figure 25.
17.  Connect a lifting device to the engine. Put a block
under  the  transmission  housing  to  support  the
transmission.
18.  Remove  four  capscrews  from  torque  converter
housing  and  flywheel  housing  on  transmission
side. See Figure 26.
19.  Remove six capscrews from flywheel housing and
torque  converter  housing  on  flywheel  housing
side.
  WARNING 
The engine is heavy. Make sure that any lifting de-
vice  has  enough  capacity  to  lift  the  engine.  The
engine can weigh approximately 194 kg (428 lb).
20.  Remove  the  flange  nuts,  washers,  capscrews,
and  isolators  from  the  engine  mounts.  Remove
engine adapter to transmission bolts, if equipped.
See Figure 21, Figure 27, and Figure 28.
  CAUTION
When separating the engine away from the trans-
mission, place a piece of plywood in front of radi-
ator. This will keep the engine from damaging the
radiator.
  CAUTION
Keep the engine level when the engine is separa-
ted from the transmission so the drive plate is not
damaged.
21.  Use the lifting device to carefully move the engine
away from the torque converter. Make sure all ho-
ses, wires, and cables are disconnected from the
engine,  then  lift  the  engine  from  the  frame  and
place engine on blocks.
22.  Remove  torque  converter  from  torque  converter
housing.
