REMOVAL
WAR NING :
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never drain engine coolant when the engine is hot.
Gasket for intake manifold collector (upper) is secured together with mounting bolt for intake man-
ifold collector (lower). Thus, even when only gasket for upper side is replaced, gasket for lower
side must be also replaced.

AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
4. Remove electric throttle control actuator as follows:
a. Disconnect harness connector.
b. Loosen mounting bolts in reverse order as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Handle carefully to avoid any shock to electric throttle
control actuator.
Do not disassemble.
5. Remove fuel sub-tube mounting bolt to disconnect from rear of intake manifold collector (lower). Refer to
EM-45, "
FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE" .
6. Disconnect vacuum hose from intake manifold collector (upper).
7. Remove EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve and bracket mounting bolt from intake mani-
fold collector (upper).

9. Remove PCV hose [between intake manifold collector (lower) and rocker cover (right bank)].
10. Loosen mounting bolts in reverse order as shown in the figure,
and remove intake manifold collector cover, gasket, intake man-
ifold collector (lower) and gasket with power tool.
CAUTION:
Cover engine openings to avoid entry of foreign materials.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Surface Distortion
Check the surface distortion of both the intake manifold collector
(upper and lower) mating surfaces with a straightedge and a
feeler gauge.
If it exceeds the limit, replace intake manifold collector (upper
and/or lower).
