How to Remove and Replace an Intake Manifold on Dodge Caravan?

The intake manifold should only be replaced after you have completed the fuel system pressure release. Open the upper intake manifold and place a cover over all the openings to keep dirt from getting into the engine. Remove the fuel line from the carburetor and remove the cooling system so that it no longer holds water. Take away the upper hoses for the heater supply and the radiator from the intake manifold. At this point, remove the connector for the coolant temperature sensor/fuel injector wire harness as well. Take out the upper bolts in the lower intake manifold support bracket and unscrew the lower bolt. Take apart the connectors at the fuel injector harness and remove the bolts connecting the power steering tank to the manifold, but keep the lines connecting the reservoir attached as you lift the reservoir aside. Once finished, remove the bolts from the lower intake manifold and pull it out of the engine, checking it after you have done so.

How to Install the Intake Manifold and Ensure Correct Torque Specifications on Dodge Caravan?

Before installing the intake manifold, get sure that the previously removed parts are now back in place and torqued as follows, fuel rail bolts at 22 Nm (200 in. lbs.), coolant outlet connector bolts at 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.) and the coolant temperature sensor gets torqued to 7 Nm (60 in. lbs.). Mount the new gasket on the cylinder head, replace the lower manifold and tighten all intake manifold bolts to 28 Nm labeled 250 in. lbs., until each bolt is tightened correctly. Be sure to replace the lower intake manifold support bracket bolts, tightening the one to the intake at 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.) and the other to the block at 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). Put the power steering reservoir in place on the manifold and install the bolts, afterward attach the fuel line and the wiring harness of the coolant temperature sensor/fuel injector. Attach the radiator upper and heating hoses, connect the upper intake manifold and after that fill the cooling system.

The Intake Manifold of Dodge Caravan vehicle feeds the air or the air and fuel mix to the cylinder head to enable it exert power that changes its performances. It works by drawing air from the throttle body or the carburetor depending on the design depending on the type of engine. For example, the older models with carburetors or Throttle Body Injection are mixing the fuel inside the manifold, however, the new multi port fuel injected versions have separate injectors to give better efficiency. Dodge Caravan intake manifolds have also advanced from the past years from the use of cast iron and aluminum materials to the use of lighter composite plastic material for fuel efficiency and for cooling. Some designs also make use of variable length intake manifolds (VLIM) to perform better by providing variable intake air flow with the loading of an engine. The performance and efficiency of the manifold seals as well as the control of the air circulation plays a significant role in the performance of the Dodge Caravan engines thus making the Intake Manifold a crucial factor among all other components of the cars.
