I
ntake Air Distribution and Filtering - Normally Aspirated Vehicles
Air Intake Asse
mbly
The air cleaner assembly consists of a two piece box containing the air filter, an airflow/temperature unit and the air intake
duct which connects to the top of the throttle assembly. The en gine full load breather feeds into the intake duct from the
bank 1 camshaft cover. A tuned stub on the ai r intake duct reduces the intake noise level.
Mass Air Flow and Temperature Sensors
The intake air is monitored by the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor assembly which is fitted at the outlet of the air filter
assembly. Two sensors are incorporated in the MAF sensor assembly, measuring air flow and temperature (temperature
sensor arrowed); both sensors provide anal ogue signal inputs to the engine control module (ECM) and are further described
in Section 303-14.
P
arts List
CAUTION: Do not attempt to renew or adjust the throttle cable without consulting the relevant procedure. Two
procedures apply: reconnection of an original cable (19.70.04) or the fitting of a new cable (19.20.06).
The filtered air from the intake duct is drawn downwards through the throttle body to the intake elbow on which the throttle
body is mounted. The airflow through the throttle body is vari ed by the electrically operated throttle valve according to
driver demand and engine mana gement system requirements.
The throttle body assembly has the following features:
Con
vential cable operated input shaft connected to the accelerator pedal.
M
echanical guard to limit throttle angl
e should driver demand exceed ECM co ntrolled parameters and a mechanical
back-up in the event of a throttle motor failure.
Vacuum actuator for operation of the mech anical guard in cru
ise control mode.
Thr
ottle valve (blade) to regula
te air flow into the engine.
Thermostatic air valve to allow and con
t
rol air by-pass around the throttle.
D
C electric motor to operate the thro
ttle in response to ECM control.
Three
sensors (accelerator pedal, mechan
ical guard and the throttle valve) to relay positional information about the
input shaft to the ECM.
R
eturn and control springs fitted to th
e input shaft, mechanical guard, thro ttle valve and dc motor drive gear.
Throttle Cont

the
intake elbow provide connections for vacuum actuators and are also used to redirect emissions into the engine.
On the right-hand side of the elbow a la rge diameter pipe connects to the brake servo. The smaller pipe provides a vacuum
feed to the fuel rail pressure regulator and throttle cruise control system. On the le ft-hand side of the elbow the front pipe
supplies vacuum control for the evaporative emissions system valves.
Emissions from the engine part load breather (bank 2) and pu rged fuel vapor from the EVAP valve are drawn via a common
T piece into the left-hand side of the intake elbow. Re-cir culated exhaust gas enters the intake elbow via the EGR valve
which is mounted directly on the rear of the elbow : where the EGR system is not used, a blanking plate is fitted.
The fuel system, throttle and emission control system s are described more fully in the relevant sections.
Intake Manifold
Filtered air from the vehicle's intake ducting is metered by th e electronic throttle and distributed to the two cylinder banks
via an integral intake manifold.
The intake manifold is manufactured in plastic with integral plastic fuel rails and metal-thread inserts; the very smooth
internal surfaces give excellent air flow.
Individual ducts lead off a central chamber to the inlet valves of each cylinder.
Silicon-rubber gaskets, loca ted in channels in the intake manifold, seal th e joints between the ducts and the cylinder heads.
Engine Ventilation
The e
ngine is ventilated through two brea
thers; a part-load breather and a full-load breather, one on each camshaft cover.
The outlet hose for the part-load breather is connected between the bank 2 camshaft cover and the intake elbow. The full-
load outlet hose is connected from the bank 1 camshaft cover to the intake duct between the MAF sensor assembly and the
throttle body.
Constructed in plastic, the hoses incorporate O-ring seal s and quick-release connectors; refer to Section 303-01.
I
ntake Air Distribution and Filtering - Supercharged Vehicles
Ai
r is supplied to the supercharger via an
intake cleaner/duct, throttle assembly and intake elbow which are similar to those
used for normally aspirated engines. The su percharger delivers pressurized air to two separate charge air cooler units, each
unit being mounted on the cy linder bank which it supplies. Pr essurized cooled air is fed from the charge air coolers directly
into each inlet port.
