Installation Procedure


    Object Number: 500681  Size: MH

    Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  1. Install the upper intake manifold to the engine.
  2. Tighten

    1. Tighten the upper intake manifold studs on the first pass to 12 N·m (44 lb in).
    2. Tighten the upper intake manifold studs on the second pass to 10 N·m (89 lb in).

    Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  3. Install the accelerator control cable bracket (3) to the throttle body and the lower intake manifold.
  4. Tighten
    Tighten the bolts and nut to 12 N·m (106 lb in).

  5. Install the accelerator control cable and the cruise control cable, if equipped, to the throttle shaft. Refer to Accelerator Control Cable Replacement in Engine Controls.
  6. Install the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to the engine. Refer to Evaporative Emission (Evap) Canister Purge Solenoid Valve Replacement in Engine Controls.
  7. Install the fuel pipes to the rear of the engine. Refer to Fuel Hose/Pipes Replacement - Engine Compartment in Engine Controls.

  8. Object Number: 317197  Size: SH
  9. Connect the spark plug wires to the left side of the distributor cap.
  10. The wires and the distributor cap are numbered in order to aid assembly.
