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.

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 specification ............................................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 are routed correctly and that any retaining clips are correctly installed.
6 Start and run the engine to check for correct operation.
3.10 Intake Manifold Assembly – Complete
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 only the upper intake manifold needs to
be removed, refer to 3.9 Upper Intake Manifold.
Remove
Disconnection of the battery affects certain
vehicle electronic systems. Refer to 1.1
WARNING, CAUTION and NOTES before
disconnecting the battery.
1 Depressurise the fuel system.
2 Disconnect the battery negative terminal.

Clean
CAUTION
Due to the aluminium alloy construction of
the intake manifold, wire brushes and steel
scrapers must not be used during the
cleaning process, as damage to sealing
surfaces may occur. Use of a wooden or
plastic scraper is preferred.
1 Clean mating surfaces ensuring any gasket material is removed.
2 Clean the manifold using a suitable solvent
Safety glasses must be worn when using
compressed air.
3 Dry the timing components with compressed air.
Inspect
1 Inspect the intake manifold for the following fault conditions:
• Damaged sealing and mating surfaces.
• Damaged lower intake manifold gasket.
• Damage or excessive debris on the threaded and through holes.
• Cracks or damage to the intake manifold body.
