Intake Manifold: Service and Repair
Intake Manifold Removal and InstallationIntake Manifold:
Removal
1. Remove the intake manifold cover.
2. Remove the air intake duct.
3. Remove the engine mount control solenoid valve (A), positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) hose (B), brake booster vacuum hose (C), and vacuum hose (D).
4. Remove the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge hose (A) and water bypass hoses (B), then plug the water bypass hoses.
5. Remove the engine wire harness connectors and wire harness clamps from the intake manifold.
^ Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor connector
^ Throttle actuator connector
^ Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor connector
^ Evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve connector
^ Intake manifold tuning (IMT) actuator connector
6. Remove the upper cover mounting bolts and nuts sequentially in two or three steps, then remove the upper cover.
7. Remove the intake manifold mounting bolts and nuts sequentially in two or three steps, then remove the intake manifold.
Installation
1. Install the intake manifold. Tighten the bolts and nuts sequentially in two or three steps. Always use a new intake manifold gasket.
