For 1990-2009 cars only
Removal Procedure (Air Filter Assembly)
- Disconnect the Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) electrical connector.
- Disconnect the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) electrical connector.
- Loosen the air intake duct clamp at the throttle body.
- Release the air intake duct at the throttle body.
- Release the air intake duct from the upper radiator support grommet studs.
- Disconnect the AIR hose from the air cleaner assembly.
- Release the air cleaner assembly (with grommets) from the grommet mounting studs.
- Remove the air cleaner assembly.
- Remove MAF sensor from the air cleaner assembly if needed.
Installation Procedure (Air Filter Assembly)
- Install the MAF sensor to the air cleaner assembly, if necessary.
- Install a new clamp using J 22610 Service Boot Clamp Installer.
- Position the air intake duct to the throttle body. Ensure air intake duct mounting grommets are secured on studs.
- Tighten the air intake duct clamp at the throttle body.
- Use a GM approved non silicone based lubricant to aid in installation. Position the air cleaner assembly with mounting grommets to the mounting studs.
- Secure the air cleaner assembly to the mounting studs.
- Connect the AIR hose to the air cleaner assembly.
- Connect the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) electrical connector.
- Connect the Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) electrical connector.
Notice: Verify that the radiator air deflector is in position before installing an air cleaner assembly. Improper installation may allow water intrusion which could damage the engine.
Notice: If the mass air flow (MAF) sensor is installed backwards, the system will go rich. An arrow cast into the plastic portion of the sensor indicates proper air flow direction. The arrow must point toward the engine.
