Intake Manifold: Removal

  1. Place transmission gear selector in Park (Neutral on manual transmissions). Set parking brake and block drive wheels. Although fuel pressure drops to zero when ignition is turned off, loosen fuel filler cap to relieve tank pressure. To further minimize risk of fire and personal injury, cover surrounding areas with a shop rag while removing fuel lines.

  2. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove engine cover and air injection crossover hose. Remove air cleaner. Drain cooling system. Label and disconnect necessary brackets, wires and hoses. Disconnect fuel lines and linkages.
  3. Remove distributor cap. With chalk or crayon, mark relationship of distributor rotor and housing to a stationary reference point in engine compartment. If distributor is aligned properly upon installation, and if crankshaft is not rotated while engine is apart, engine timing will not need to be reset.
  4. Remove brake booster vacuum pipe. Remove A/C pump bracket and alternator bracket. Remove throttle body (if necessary). Remove manifold bolts. Remove intake manifold and gaskets.
