Before removing the components, relieve the fuel system pressure, disconnect the negative battery terminal, and drain the engine cooling system. After that, take out the air intake hose and disconnect the accelerator cable and the cruise control cable from the throttle lever arm. To remove the fuel rail and injectors, the sensor electrical connectors will first be unearthed. This fuel rail is attached to the operation pressure regulator and injectors. The fuelling rail and injectors will be taken out as one. The breather hose and PCV valve will be removed. Remove the EGA pipe and bolts. Disconnect the ignition coil harness connector, vacuum lines, heater hoses, ignition power transistor, and coils. When replacing or servicing the inlet manifold, remove the throttle body, knock off the inlet manifold support bracket, fasteners and the inlet manifold. When dealing with the 2.4L SOHC engine, the electrical connectors can be unplugged. The vacuum line can be removed as well. Further, the throttle body and fuel rail assembly can be disconnected as well. Unplug the electrical connector from the air conditioning switch and unbolt the wiring harness bracket to take off the thermostat housing assembly. On older models, you will need to unplug the connectors for the EGA valve and the Purge Solenoid Valve, then pull out the dipstick and its tube. Remove and disconnect the PCV hose and EGA valves, then undo the bolts of the intake manifold support bracket and remove the manifold. Using a straightedge and feeler gauge, inspect the intake manifold mating surface for warpage. Resurface or replace the intake manifold mating components as necessary. Use a new intake manifold gasket and place the manifold. Hand-tighten fasteners, then tighten to specification gradually and evenly with a torque wrench. Lastly, top off the cooling system, start up the engine, and check its operation.
