Important: The engine and the manifold should be at ambient temperature when assembled.
Do NOT attempt to install a cold manifold on a hot engine.
- Install the intake manifold and the gasket. If damaged, install a new
gasket with the stamped numbers facing towards the manifold surface.
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.
- Install the intake
manifold nuts and bolts in the sequence shown.
Tighten
Tighten the intake manifold bolts/nuts to 24 N·m (18 lb ft).
- Install wiring harness to retainers on bottom of intake manifold.
- Install brake booster vacuum line.
- Install the stud-end generator
mount bolt.
- Install the accelerator control cable bracket.
- Connect the vacuum hoses to the fuel regulator and to the EVAP
canister purge solenoid.
Important: If you have removed the IAT sensor, apply sealant GM P/N 1052080
or equivalent to the threads before installation.
- Connect the following electrical connections:
| • | EVAP canister purge solenoid |
- Install the air cleaner duct. Refer to
