2000 Ford Focus Exhaust Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the exhaust manifold on 2000 Ford Focus?

  A: A person should begin exhaust manifold maintenance by properly positioning their vehicle. Lower the vehicle only after you detach the exhaust manifold bracket and disconnect H02S Heated Oxygen Sensor plugs. Start by pulling out the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor multilplug while detaching the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose and intake hose before taking out the air cleaner from its rubber bush. Detaching operations should begin with the exhaust manifold removal from both the catalytic converter and the cylinder head. The installation requires you to place the exhaust manifold onto the cylinder head with a new gasket before connecting it to the catalytic converter. Push the air filter housing into its appropriate place then connect the MAF sensor multiplug followed by reinstallation of PCV hose and intake hose. The final step involves attaching the heat shield followed by vehicle raise-up and support before tightening the exhaust manifold bracket then plugging in the H02S connectors and completing the vehicle descent.
