Question 1

How to remove and install the intake manifold in 3.6L V6 engine on Dodge Challenger?

Accepted Answer

Before you take off the lower intake manifold you will need to depressurize the fuel system. Remove the cable from the negative terminal of the battery where on 2015 and later models with an Intelligent Battery Sensor ,the IBS connector should be removed first. Pull the engine cover up and off the ballstuds, by first centering it at the top and then yanking it free. Pull the MAP sensor connector and throttle body connector, remove the ETC connector, electrical harness retainer and disconnect the hoses for the PCV, brake booster hoses and the EVAP purge valve hoses. Remove the clamp and release the intake duct from the throttle body, next disconnect the PCV valve hose and the EVAP purge hose and the brake booster vacuum hoses. Disconnect the wiring harness retainers from the upper intake support bracket in addition to the retainer at the stud bolt. Then, take out the nuts and stud bolt to drop off the upper intake manifold bracket then unscrew the nut at the bracket side of the heater core return tube line. Take off the support bracket-to-upper manifold nuts, and then loosen the lower nuts of brackets, and take off the brackets of the upper intake manifold. As for the lower intake manifold, turn the bolts until they are only slightly loosened but do not remove them, then remove the upper intake manifold. Remove six upper-to-lower intake manifold gaskets and cap all the open intake port to minimize the entry of dirt into the engine. If necessary, unscrew the insulator on the left valve cover. Following the removal of the upper intake manifold, withdraw the fuel injectors and fuel rail as a single unit, although the lower intake manifold may be removed while the injectors and rail remain in position and great care must be exercised in order not to damage the injectors. Pop off the wiring harness retainer on the end of the manifold and set the harness out of the way. Take off the lower intake manifold bolts and take out the manifold off the cylinder heads, dispose the six manifold-to-cylinder head gaskets. For installation, be sure, that the mating surfaces of the cylinder heads, cylinder block and intake manifold are clean with help of gasket scraper and brake system cleaner because any old sealant or oil can be cause of leaks. Fit the fuel injectors and the fuel rail as well as the new intake manifold gaskets on the manifold. Gently put the lower end of the figure in place and make sure the intakes do not drop out of them, tighten the mounting bolts with your hand. Torque the mounting bolts in a sequence up to thespecified torque before fixing the upper intake manifold. Examine the rubber seals in each intake runner present on the upper intake manifold and change damaged seals. If, in the process of repairing, the insulator was removed, it should be reattached. Position is to fit the upper intake manifold to the lower intake manifold bydrawing up the bolts and thereafter tightening the bolts in the correct sequence to the recommend torque. Last of all, install the remaining components in the opposite way to the removal, start the engine and inspect for leaks and its correct function.

Question 2

How to remove and install an intake manifold in V8 engine on Dodge Charger?

Accepted Answer

First start by taking off the engine cover on vehicles built after 2006. Turn off fuel pressure and remove battery's negative lead. Then pull off the parts that hold the air filter and guide air into the engine. Disconnect these three hoses: the brake booster vacuum hose, canister purge hose, and PCV hose. Start with these three removals: the fuel rails and injectors, then the EGR pipe from the intake valve. Remove the electrical wires from the MAP sensor and throttle body. Start by turning the intake manifold bolts 1/4-turn at a time, starting with the ones on the outside. Keep going inward until you can remove all bolts by hand, afterward take off the intake manifold, being careful to disconnect any remaining parts. Make sure to clean the mating areas on the cylinder heads and intake manifold first, and stay away from rough chemicals that might harm the plastic intake manifold. Look at the O-rings on the intake passage box for damage. If they're good, you can use them again, but replace them if they're not working right. Be very careful when you put the intake manifold down into place, and don't move it once it touches the cylinder heads to avoid leaks. When you install the intake manifold bolts, bolt them down in the required order and make sure you give each bolt the correct amount of torque. To finish the job, start with the engine, then work backwards through the other steps of booking, and check for leaky vacuum joints on the intake manifold.
