Manifold, Intake: Installation
Inspect seal conditions. Seals can be re-used, if not damaged. Position seal in the seal channel and press lightly into place. Repeat procedure for each seal position.
If reinstalling the original manifold apply Mopar® Lock & Seal Adhesive to the intake manifold bolts. Not required when installing a new manifold.
- Apply Mopar® Lock & Seal Adhesive to the intake manifold bolts.
- Install the intake manifold seals (3) and positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) seals (1).
- Using the sequence shown, tighten the intake manifold bolts to 12 N.m (9 ft. lbs.).
- Position the main engine electrical harness at the rear of the intake manifold and install the support strap.
- Connect the fuel supply line quick connect fitting at the fuel rail (1).NOTE:
The factory fuel injection electrical harness is numerically tagged (INJ 1, INJ 2, etc.) for injector position identification. If the harness was not tagged, use the noted the electrical connector's location during removal.
- Position the fuel injector electrical harness and connect the electrical connectors (1) to all fuel injectors.
- Connect the map sensor electrical connector (1).
- Install the EGR crossover tube (2). Tighten bolts (1) to 24 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
- Install the generator (1). Torque the bolts to 50 N.m (37 ft. lbs.).
- Position the A/C line Bracket (2) to the manifold. Torque the bolt (1) to 50 N.m (37 ft. lbs.).
- Position the wiring harness (2) and connect the electrical connector at the throttle body (1).NOTE:
While installing the engine cover the front ball studs will make a popping or suction sound as the ball studs are inserted into the front grommets.
- Lower the front of the engine cover (1) and line up the front grommets (2) with the ball studs on the front of the intake manifold and with a downward motion push the engine cover front grommets onto the ball studs.NOTE:
Lightly lift the front of the engine cover to insure the front ball studs are seated into the front grommets correctly.
- Connect the intake air tube to the air cleaner assembly and the throttle body.
- Connect the breather air hose (3).
- Connect the temperature sensor (2).
- Connect the negative battery cable (1).
