Intake Manifold Runner Control Solenoid (3.0L): Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The vacuum line that goes to both diaphragms is attached to the solenoid vacuum port that faces down, which is perpendicular to the electrical connector.
  1. Reconnect both vacuum lines to IMRC solenoid noting that the vacuum line to the diaphragms attaches to the vacuum port perpendicular to the electrical connector.
  2. Install IMRC solenoid and IMRC solenoid attachment screw to the intake manifold. Tighten the intake manifold runner control solenoid to intake manifold screw to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  3. Connect power brake booster vacuum hose with clamp to intake manifold. Connect vacuum hose to bank 2 intake manifold runner diaphragm.
  4. Connect IMRC solenoid harness connector. Push connector in until the lock position is felt, than pull back to confirm engagement. Install battery cover and tighter hold down screws.
