Reinstall
Reinstallation of the upper intake manifold and the upper and lower intake manifold assembly is the reverse of the
removal procedure, noting the following:
1 Only new gaskets are to be fitted betw een the upper and lower intake manifolds.
CAUTION
Tighten the intake manifold bolts in a circular
pattern starting at the centre bolt and moving
outward.
2 Ensure that all fasteners are tightened to the correct torque specification.
Upper intake manifold to lower
intake manifold attaching bolt
torque specificat ion ............................................ 23.0 Nm
Upper intake manifold to
cylinder head attaching bolt
torque specification ............................................ 23.0 Nm
Incorrect wiring connector installation may
cause component malfunction or component
damage.
3 Ensure all wiring connectors are fully engaged and if applicable, locked in place.
4 Ensure all wiring harnesses are correctly routed and attached securely in their retaining clips.
5 Ensure that all hoses and pipes ar e routed correctly and that any retaining clips are correctly installed.

4 Retract the throttle body wiring connector lock (3).
5 While pressing the connector latch in the direction of
the arrow (4), disconnect the throttle body wiring
connector.
6 Disconnect the throttle body connector wiring harness from its retaining clip (5).
7 Remove the main wiring harness retainer pin (6) from the intake manifold by pushing from the front to the
rear using a suitable piece of 5 mm steel rod (or an
Allen key).
The following precautions must be followed
when disconnecting the throttle body wiring
connector:
• Do not use any mechanical device such
as a screwdriver to disengage the
harness connector (1) from the throttle
body (2).
• When retracting the throttle wiring
connector lock (3), take care not to
disengage the lock from the connector.
• Do not pull on the connector wires.
• Take care not to break the barbed
harness retainer pin (6) while removing
the harness retainer from the intake
manifold.
• Should the pin be broken, then it is vital
that a new harness retainer is fitted to the
wiring harness shield. If not, the harness
will foul the engine drive belt.

11 Disconnect the fuel feed hose from the fuel rail (1).
12 Pull out the release bar (2) (broad arrow) of the fuel
injector harness wiring connector (3).
13 Disconnect the fuel injector harness wiring connector from the fuel injector wiring harness (4).
Plug the fuel feed hose opening after
removal to prevent dirt and other
contaminants from entering the fuel system.

14 Remove the wiring harness connector (2) from the
EVAP valve (1).
15 Disconnect the quick connect (3 ) from the rear of the
EVAP valve, as follows:
a Squeeze the two barbed lugs together, push the quick
connect into the valve, t hen pull out to separate the
connection.
b Plug both open ends to prevent the entry of foreign
matter.
Figure 6A1 – 49
16 Remove the bolt (3) attaching the EVAP valve and the fuel injector wiring harness connector mounting
bracket to the upper inta ke manifold assembly.
17 Move the EVAP valve and the fuel injector wiring harness connector mounting bracket clear of the
upper intake manifold assembly.
18 Disconnect the PCV fresh air tube (1) from its upper intake manifold mounting clip (2).

19 Remove the four long (1) bolts (165 mm) securing the complete intake manifo ld to the cylinder heads.
20 Remove the two short (2) bolts (45 mm) securing the lower intake manifold to the cylinder heads.
Do not loosen nor remove the short bolts ( 8)
(70 mm) holding the upper intake manifold to
the lower. These bolts are at the front left
and rear right of the upper intake manifold.

5 Place a straight edge (1) across the lower intake
manifold sealing surface (2).
6 Using a feeler gauge (3), measure the clearance
between the manifold and the straight edge.
7 If the clearance between the lower intake manifold sealing surface and the straight edge exceeds the
specified maximum warpage, replace the manifold.
Lower manifold maximum
warpage ............................................................ 0.05 mm

Reassemble
Reassembly of the upper to lower intake manifold is the reverse of the disassembly procedure noting the following:
1 Ensure that both the manifo lds have been cleaned and inspected.
2 Ensure that the warpage of the mati ng surfaces is within tolerances.
3 New upper to lower intake m anifold gaskets must be used.
4 Do not tighten the intake manifold to lower intake manifold attaching bolt at this stage. The intake manifold
attaching bolts must be tightened at the specif ied sequence during the reinstallation procedure.
Reinstall
Reinstallation of the upper intake manifold and the upper and lower intake manifo ld assembly is the reverse of the
removal procedure, noting the following:
1 Install the EVAP hose to the clip atta ched to the lower intake manifold.
2 Only new gaskets are to be fitted betw een the upper and lower intake manifolds.
3 If undamaged, the lower intake manifold to cylinder head gasket may be re-used, however its replacement is
strongly recommended.
CAUTION
Tighten the intake manifold bolts in a circular
pattern starting at the centre bolt and moving
outward.
4 Ensure that all fasteners are tightened to the correct torque specification.
Upper intake manifold to lower intake
manifold attaching bolt torq ue specification .......23.0 Nm
Upper intake manifold to cylinder
head attaching bolt torque specification .............23.0 Nm
Lower intake manifold to cylinder
head attaching bolt torque specification .............23.0 Nm
Fuel injector wiring harness bracket
attaching bolt torque specification ........................9.0 Nm
Incorrect wiring connector installation may
cause component malfunction or component
damage.
