Intake Manifold



Removal and Installation





Disconnect the battery ground cable.

















Remove the bolts and the shield.

















Remove the air cleaner outlet pipe.

Disconnect the tube.

Detach the Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor wiring pushpin.

Loosen the clamps and remove the pipe.

















Disconnect the Idle air control (IAC) valve and the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) electrical connectors. Disconnect the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve vacuum hose.

















Disconnect the accelerator and speed control cables.

1 Detach the accelerator and speed control cables from the throttle body.

2 Detach the accelerator and speed control cables from the bracket, and position the cables aside.



















Loosen the fitting and disconnect the exhaust manifold-to-EGR valve tube.

















Disconnect the EGR valve vacuum regulator electrical connector and vacuum hoses.

















Disconnect the hose.

















Loosen the clamp and disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose.

















CAUTION: It is important to twist the spark plug wire boots while pulling upward to avoid possible damage to the spark plug wire. NOTE: Spark plug wires must be connected to the correct ignition coil terminal. Mark spark plug wire locations before removing them. Disconnect the RH spark plug wires from coil. Remove spark plug wire routing clip pushpin and position the wires aside.

















Remove wiring harness bracket retainer, then position wiring harness aside.

















Remove accelerator cable routing clip pushpin and wiring harness pushpin.

















Remove the bolts.

















Remove the bolt and position the coil and bracket aside.

















Disconnect the vacuum hoses.

















Remove the nut.

















Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) electrical connector.

















Disconnect the ground wires and position the wiring harness aside.

















Detach the electrical connector retainer.

















Remove the intake manifold bolts and lift up the intake manifold.

















Remove the heated PCV hose retainers and remove the heated PCV fitting.

Remove the intake manifold.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Evan,



The Sport Trac never came with the OHV engine.



The OHV engine was a good engine. The SOHC engive had some initial problems.

LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD — REMOVAL



Remove the accelerator control splash shield.

Disconnect the speed control and accelerator cables from the throttle body control lever and the upper intake manifold.

Disconnect the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor.

Disconnect the fresh air tubes from the air cleaner outlet tube, then remove the air cleaner outlet tube.

Disconnect the idle air control (IAC) valve and the throttle position (TP) sensor.

Disconnect the following vacuum hoses: See Figures 1 and 2.

Brake booster.

Intake manifold tuning valve (IMTV) servo, if equipped.

Right side upper intake vacuum supply (two hoses).

PCV valve.

Remove the fasteners securing the EVR/VIS solenoid bracket. It is not necessary to disconnect the solenoids. Refer to Figure 2.

Remove the upper intake manifold screws.

Lift up the upper intake manifold to access the vapor management valve (VMV) hoses. Remove the locking clips and disconnect the right and left VMV hoses. See Figure 3.

Remove the upper intake manifold by carefully sliding the manifold off of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) tube. See Figure 3.

If equipped, position the engine vacuum reservoir aside. See Figure 4.

Wow, Great thanks for the intructions and diagrams.. One more question. Is this problem caused by the upper or the lower gasket or both ? I guess it is probably better to do both regardless..
