Intake Manifold

The intake manifold is a 1-piece cast aluminum design. The throttle body is attached to the front of the intake manifold. The fuel rail assembly with 8 separate fuel injectors is retained to the intake manifold by 4 studs. The fuel injectors are seated in their individual manifold bores with O-ring seals to provide sealing. A Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is mounted on the top of the intake manifold and sealed by an O-ring seal. The MAP sensor is held in place with a retainer bolt. The evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge solenoid valve is located in the front of the intake manifold. The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is internally cast into the intake manifold. There is no serviceable PCV valve. A splash shield is installed under the intake manifold. The shield prevents hot oil from contacting the bottom of the intake manifold.
