- Clean any debris from the cylinder head or intake manifold gaskets. Place the intake manfiold in position on the cylinder heads.
- Install the four studs (1) and spacers (2) and six bolts (3).
- Connect the throttle body coolant hose (3) to the water crossover (4).
- Connect the fuel rail ground wire at the rear cylinder head.
- Install the fuel rail bracket retaining nut onto the inner EGR valve mounting stud.
- Install the purge solenoid harness and retaining bolt. Connect the hose to the intake manifold.
- Connect the throttle body coolant outlet hose (1) to the throttle body (2) and place the coolant overflow pipe (5) retaining tabs on the intake manifold studs (4).
- Install a new PCV valve in the camshaft cover.
- Connect the PCV fresh air feed tube (1) to the camshaft cover and the intake manifold.
- Connect the dirty air PCV feed tube (1) to the PCV valve (2) and camshaft cover.
- Connect the EGR and crankcase ventilation pipe at the throttle body spacer.
Important: The intake manifold carrier gaskets are attached to the intake manifold through a snap-lock feature. When you install the intake manifold, the carrier gaskets will remain attached to the manifold. It is not necessary to replace the gaskets unless there is damage to the seals.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
