- Clean the intake manifold and the mating surfaces.
- Inspect the intake manifold for the following:
• | Cracks near the mounting holes |
• | Blockage in the crankcase ventilation passages |
- Use a straight edge and a feeler gauge and measure the intake
manifold mounting surface for warpage.
Intake Manifold Maximum Warpage
0.10 mm (0.004 in)
- If the warpage is greater than the maximum, replace the intake
manifold.
