17. Refit the wheel arch liner and road wheel and lower the vehicle.

18. Disconnect the air temperature sensor multi-plug from "B" bank air cleaner assembly.

19. Unclip the air cleaner element cover and displace the cover from the element. Remove the element.





20. Disconnect the intake manifold purge pipe vacuum hoses (A, Fig. 5) from the throttle housings.

21. Release the retaining clips (B, Fig. 5) securing the vacuum purge pipe to Part Load Breather Pipe (PLBP).

22. Remove the bolt (A, Fig. 6) securing the purge pipe to "B" bank manifold. Release the retaining clip securing the existing purge hose to the end of the purge pipe and remove the purge pipe (C, Fig. 6).

23. Locate the in-line solenoid purge valve (where fitted) situated within the existing purge hose between charcoal canister and engine.

24. Disconnected electrical connections and remove the valve and purge hose from the vehicle and discard.





25. Refit the manifold housing front securing bolt (A, Fig. 6).

26. Cut and remove the tie wraps securing the coolant / air temperature sensor harness to the PLBP (B, Fig. 6).

27. Loosen the clips securing the PLBP hoses to the intake manifold stub pipes (D, Fig. 5) and displace hoses from the manifold.

28. Loosen the clip (D, Fig. 6) securing the PLBP hose to the PCV valve, which is situated in the back plate of "B" bank air cleaner box. Remove the pipe and hose assembly, remove and discard the PCV valve hose from the pipe.

29. Remove the lower bolt securing the overrun valve housing to "B" bank manifold. An overrun valve may not be installed on all vehicles.





30. Replace bolt with stub pipe EAC 2899 (E, Fig. 7). On vehicles not equipped with an overrun valve, spacer EBC 2479 and washer C30075/2 must be installed in conjunction with stub pipe.
