Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Assembly Tool (T10118)

• 1/4" Reversible Ratchet, for example, Hazet 2264

• T30 TORX(R) Bit insert

Removing

- Remove the engine cover/upper air filter housing. Refer to => [ Engine Cover/Upper Air Filter Housing ] Engine Cover/Upper Air Filter Housing.

- Remove the air guide screws - arrows - and air guide from the lock carrier.






- Disconnect the vacuum lines - arrows -.






- Disconnect the following connectors:

• It is easier to release connectors that are hard to access using the assembly tool (T10118).

• Intake flap motor

• EVAP canister purge regulator valve 1 (N80)

• Manifold absolute pressure sensor (G71)

• Throttle valve control module (J338)

• Low fuel pressure sensor (G410)

- Disconnect the connectors - arrows -.






- Loosen the wiring bracket - A - and move the wiring harness to the side.

- Remove the connector bracket nuts - arrows - from the coolant pipe.






• Loosen the nut (left arrow) just enough so that the bracket can moved to the side.

• A plastic bracket is clipped in.

• To improve clarity, the intake manifold is shown removed in the graphic.

- Pry the coupling rod - arrow - off the intake flap motor.






- Remove the bolts - 1 and 2 - using the 1/4" reversible ratchet and T30 TORX(R) bit.

• The rear bolt - arrow - can only be removed using the 1/4" reversible ratchet. The space between the bolt and coolant pipe is very small.






- Remove the intake flap motor from the intake manifold.

Installing

Install in reverse order of removal. Note the following:

- Install the bolts - 1 and 2 - by hand to avoid damaging the threads.






If the intake flap motor or intake manifold was replaced, the intake flap motor must be adapted to the Engine Control Module (ECM). Refer to "Guided Functions" in the vehicle diagnostic tester.
