MANIFOLD-INTAKE
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
INTAKE MANIFOLD LEAKS
An intake manifold air leak is characterized by lower than normal manifoldvacuum, rough idle, or engine misfire.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING. DO NOT STAND IN ADIRECT LINE
WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS NEAR THE PULLEYS, BELT OR THE FAN. DO NOT WEAR
LOOSE CLOTHING.
1. Start the engine.

3. If engine RPM’S change, the area of the suspected leak has been found.
4. Repair as required.
REMOVAL
NOTE: Care must be taken to protect the intake
manifold powder coating from scrapes and abra-
sions.
1. Perform the fuel system pressure release proce-
dure,before attempting any repairs.(Refer to 14
- FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY - STANDARD
PROCEDURE - FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
RELEASE PROCEDURE).
2. Disconnect negative battery cable.
3. Disconnect throttle body air inlet duct, IAT sensor,
CCV hose and remove air cleaner cover (Refer to
9 - ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM - REMOVAL).
4. Disconnect throttle cable (2) from throttle cam.
Remove throttle cable from bracket and set aside.
5. Disconnect speed control cable from throttle cam

rail (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIV-
ERY/QUICK CONNECT FITTING - STANDARD
PROCEDURE).
8. Disconnect the following electrical connectors:
Left cylinder head fuel injectors
MAP sensor
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Idle Speed Control Sensor (ISC)
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) (1)
Right cylinder head fuel injectors
9. Carefully separate the fuel injector harness push
pins from the intake manifold.

10. Disconnect the purge solenoid hose from beneath
thethrottlebody.
11. Disconnect CCV hoses from left and right cylinder
head covers.
CAUTION: Care must be taken when removing the

2. Inspect manifold sealing surfaces for damage.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: When cleaning the intake manifold and
cylinder head mating surfaces, do not use a metal
scraper because the surfaces could be cut or
ground. Instead, use a wooden or plastic scraper.
NOTE: Care must be taken to protect the intake
