Upper Intake Manifold
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Prior to installing the upper intake manifold, verify that the four fuel rail bolts were not loosened. Refer to RAIL, FUEL, INSTALLATION .
- Clean and inspect the sealing surfaces. Install new upper to lower intake manifold seals (1).NOTE:
Make sure the fuel injectors and wiring harnesses are in the correct position so that they don't interfere with the upper intake manifold installation.
- If removed, install the insulator (2) to the two alignment posts (3) on top of the LH cylinder head cover.
- Lift and hold the seven upper intake attaching bolts (1) clear of the mating surface. Back the bolts out slightly or if required, use an elastic band to hold the bolts clear of the mating surface.
- Position the upper intake manifold (1) onto the lower intake manifold so that the two locating posts (2) on the upper intake manifold align with corresponding holes (3) in the lower intake manifold.
- Install the upper intake manifold attaching bolts. Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown in illustration to the proper specifications. Refer to TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
.
- Position the support bracket (5) to the intake manifold studs.
- Install the two nuts (1) to the upper intake manifold support bracket. Tighten the nuts (1) to the proper specifications and tighten the studbolt (2) to the proper specifications. Refer to TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Install the wire harness retainer (3) to the studbolt (2).
- Install the wire harness retainer (4) to the upper intake manifold support bracket (5).
- Install the two upper intake manifold support brackets nuts (1). Tighten the nuts to the proper specifications. Refer to TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
.
- Connect the following hoses to the upper intake manifold:
- Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) (3)
- vapor purge (6)
- brake booster (2)
- Connect the electrical connectors to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor (1) and the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) (7).
- Secure the ETC harness to the clip (7) on the throttle body and engage the wire harness retainers (4 and 5) to the upper intake manifold near the MAP sensor.
- Install the intake resonator. Refer to RESONATOR, AIR CLEANER, INSTALLATION .
- Connect the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), connect the IBS connector.
- Install the engine cover (1).
