3.9 Upper Intake Manifold
The intake manifold comprises of an upper and lower section. Some service procedures only require the removal of the
upper intake manifold (e.g. fuel injector/spark plug servicing), while other service procedures require the removal of both
the upper and lower manifold as a complete assembly (e.g. cylinder head/s). If the complete assembly needs to be
removed, refer to 3.10 Intake Manifold Assembly – Complete.

3 Retract the throttle body wiring connector lock (3).
4 W hile pressing the connector latch in the direction of the arrow (4), disconnect the throttle body wiring
connector.
5 Disconnect the throttle body connector wiring harness from its retaining clip (5).
6 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.
