Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Recover the A/C system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging .
- Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief (High Side) .
- Remove the air cleaner outlet duct. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement .
- Remove the intake manifold cover (1). Refer to Intake Manifold Cover Replacement
- Remove the evaporative (EVAP) emission canister valve tube (1) from the intake manifold and reposition.
- Remove the MAP sensor (3) electrical connector.
- Remove the throttle body (1). Refer to Throttle Body Assembly Replacement .
- Remove the fuel pump cover (3) and insulator (2). Refer to Fuel Pump Cover Replacement .
- Disconnect and reposition the low pressure fuel feed pipe from the fuel pump. Refer to Metal Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service .
- Remove the fuel rail harness connector bracket bolt (1) and intake manifold insulator bolt.
- Remove the intake manifold insulator (2).
- Remove the A/C line nut (1) and line (2) from the compressor and reposition the line to the side.
- Remove the intake manifold retaining nuts (1), studs (3), and bolts (2).
- Remove the intake manifold (1).
- Disconnect electrical connectors as necessary.
- Transfer parts as necessary.
- If reusing the intake manifold, clean and inspect as necessary. Refer to Intake Manifold Cleaning and Inspection (LEA, or LUK) .
CAUTION:
Never attempt to remove the intake manifold from a hot engine, allow the engine to cool to ambient temperature. The intake manifold can be damaged if it is removed when the engine is hot.
NOTE:
The low pressure fuel pipe used is model dependent.
NOTE:
Removing studs allows the intake manifold to be removed without removing the fuel pump.
