Air Cleaner Assembly: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the Mass Air Flow Intake/Air Temperature (MAF/IAT) sensor electrical connector. See Figure. Loosen the air intake duct clamp at the throttle body. Release the air intake duct at the throttle body. Release the air intake duct from the upper support grommet studs.
- Disconnect the AIR hose from the air cleaner assembly. Release the air cleaner assembly with the grommets from the grommet mounting studs. Remove the air cleaner assembly. Remove the MAF/IAT sensor from the air cleaner assembly, if necessary.
CAUTION:
Verify that the radiator air deflector is in position before installing an air cleaner assembly. Improper installation may allow water intrusion which could damage the engine. If the MAF/IAT sensor is installed backwards, the system will go rich. An arrow cast into the plastic portion of the sensor indicates proper air flow direction. The arrow must point toward the engine.
