General Description

The 3.0L (4V) (182CID) is a 60° V-6 engine with Dual Overhead Camshafts (DOHC), four valves per cylinder and Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection (SFI). The engine has:
- an aluminum upper intake manifold.
- a lower intake manifold.
- aluminum cylinder heads.
- a cast aluminum upper cylinder block.
The ignition system is electronic (distributorless) with a single ignition coil located above each spark plug. This high energy ignition system is required for fast-burn combustion.
A unique intake air system utilizes two separate plenums, one for each side of the engine. The plenums can be connected through the operation of a special Intake Manifold Tuning Valve (IMTV) to improve upper rpm power.
