To service the lower intake manifold, start with the fuel pressure release and empty the cooling system. Untwist the upper radiator hose from the outlet near the front of the manifold and afterwards, take out the upper intake manifold. After that, unplug the cables from the
Fuel Injectors and
Coolant Temperature Sensor and take off the heater and coolant bottle hoses attached to the rear of the intake manifold. Take out the fuel hose from the rail, disconnect the screw fastening the rail support bracket to the throttle body support bracket and unbolt and remove the
Fuel Rail. Disconnect the fuel rail and its injectors, then take out the bolts connecting the lower intake to remove the intake manifold. Look for damage, cracks, blemished gasket and warped or distorted sections on the manifold; if any problems are noticed, you should replace it. Thoroughly clean where the seals go and check the gaskets for rips or cuts; replace them when needed. Raise the gaskets and the intake manifold into place on the cylinder head surfaces and then set the fuel rail with the injectors into position. Place the bolts onto the intake manifold and fasten them following the correct order, stopping when the torque reaches 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.). Bolt the end of the fuel rail support bracket screw to the throttle body support bracket, attach the fuel supply hose to the fuel rail and hook up the heater and coolant bottle supply hoses to the coolant tube at the rear of the intake manifold. After that, attach the electrical wirings to the fuel injectors and coolant temperature sensor, fit the upper intake manifold, reposition the radiator upper hose so it's connected to the coolant outlet on the front side of the lower manifold and finally fill the cooling system.
