INTAKE MANIFOLD
2004 QX56

Perform the following steps to disconnect the quick connector
using Tool.
a. Remove quick connector cap (engine side only).
b. With the sleeve side of Tool facing quick connector, install Tool
onto fuel tube.
c. Insert Tool into quick connector until sleeve contacts and goes
no further. Hold the Tool in that position.
CAUTION:
Inserting the Tool hard will not disconnect quick connector.
Hold Tool where it contacts and goes no further.
d. Draw and pull out quick connector straight from fuel tube.
CAUTION:

Pull quick connector holding A position in illustration.

Do not pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick connector may be damaged.

Prepare container and cloth beforehand as fuel will leak out.

Avoid fire and sparks.

Be sure to cover openings of disconnected pipes with plug or plastic bag to avoid fuel leakage
and entry of foreign materials.
6. Remove or disconnect harnesses, brackets, vacuum hose, vacuum gallery and PCV hose and tube from
intake manifold.
7. Remove electric throttle control actuator by loosening bolts diagonally.
CAUTION:

Handle carefully to avoid any damage to the electric throttle control actuator.

Do not disassemble.
8. Remove the fuel injectors and fuel tube assembly. Refer to EM-29, "
Removal and Installation" .
9. Loosen the bolts in reverse order shown using power tool.
10. Remove the intake manifold.
CAUTION:
Cover engine openings to avoid entry of foreign materials.Tool number : 16441 6N210 (J-45488)

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Tighten the intake manifold bolts in numerical order as shown.

Install the EVAP canister purge control solenoid valve connector with it facing front of engine.

Tighten the electronic throttle control actuator bolts of the electric throttle control actuator equally and
diagonally in several steps.

After installation perform procedure in EM-18, "INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION" .

Install the water hose so that its overlap width for connection is between 27 mm (1.06 in) and 32 mm (1.26
in) (target: 27 mm 1.06 in).
Connecting Quick Connector of Fuel Tube
Install quick connector as follows (the steps are the same for quick connectors on both engine side and vehi-
cle side except for the quick connector cap).
1. Make sure no foreign substances are deposited in and around tube and quick connector, and they are not
damaged.
2. Thinly apply new engine oil around the fuel tube from tip end to the spool end.
3. Align center to insert quick connector straight into fuel tube.

Insert until the paint mark for engagement identification
(white) goes completely inside quick connector so that you
cannot see it from the straight side of the connected part. Use
a mirror to check this where it is not possible to view directly
from the straight side, such as quick connector on vehicle
side.

Insert fuel tube into quick connector until top spool is com-
pletely inside quick connector, and 2nd level spool exposes
right below quick connector on engine side.
CAUTION:

Hold A position in illustration when inserting fuel tube
into quick connector.

Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.

Insert until you hear a “click” sound and actually feel
the engagement.

To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar
sound, be sure to perform the next step.
4. Pull quick connector by hand holding A position. Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it
does not come out from fuel tube.
NOTE:
Recommended pulling force is 50 N (5.1 kg, 11.2 lb).

c. Remove the air fuel ratio A/F sensors from both left and right
exhaust manifolds using Tool.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage the air fuel ratio A/F sensors

Discard any air fuel ratio A/F sensor which has been
dropped from a height of more than 0.5m (19.7 in) onto a
hard surface such as a concrete floor. Replace it with a
new one.
7. Remove the front cross bar.
8. Remove the exhaust manifold (left bank) using the following
steps.
a. Remove the exhaust front tube using power tool. Refer to EX-3,
"Removal and Installation" .
b. Remove the exhaust manifold cover.
c. Loosen the nuts in reverse order shown using power tool.
d. Remove the exhaust studs from positions 2, 4, 6, 8 and remove
the left exhaust manifold.
9. Remove the exhaust manifold (right bank) using the following
steps.
a. Remove the exhaust front tube using power tool. Refer to EX-3,
"Removal and Installation" .
b. Remove the oil level gauge guide. Refer to EM-22, "
OIL PAN
AND OIL STRAINER" .
c. Remove the exhaust manifold cover.
d. Loosen the nuts in reverse order shown using power tool.
e. Remove the exhaust studs from positions 2, 4, 6, 8 and remove the right exhaust manifold.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Surface Distortion

Use a reliable straightedge and feeler gauge to check the flat-
ness of each exhaust manifold flange surface.

If flatness exceeds the limit, replace the exhaust manifold.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Install a new exhaust manifold gasket with the top of the triangu-
lar up mark on it facing up and its coated face (gray side) toward
the exhaust manifold side.Tool number : — (J-44626)
