2000 Ford Focus Intake Manifold Parts Q&A

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

  A: A professional should first disconnect the cable ties before starting a service or repair on the intake manifold while preparing for new ones to be installed when assembling it again. The first step should be disconnecting the battery ground lead to protect safety. Begin service of the intake manifold by disconnecting the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor connector followed by detachment of crankcase ventilation hose and intake hose before pulling the air cleaner housing from rubber bushes. The accelerator cable and speed control cable followed by the EGR valve and EGR pipe bracket must be disconnected from the throttle body. Detach the vacuum hoses then unplug the fuel injectors wiring and disconnect the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor. To access the intake manifold first depressurize the fuel line then remove it before taking out the intake manifold studs located at the front engine position and the nine bolts and nuts. After insertion of the intake manifold studs into position tighten them to 10 Nm and fasten the nine nuts/bolts. Full installation includes reconnecting the CMP sensor and fuel injector wiring together with the reinstallation of the fuel line then using the correct order to reattach vacuum hoses, EGR valve, and EGR pipe bracket. Reinstall the accelerator cable along with the speed control cable to the throttle body before connecting the battery ground cable. Reinstallation of the air cleaner housing requires inserting it into rubber bushes then connecting the MAF sensor connector along with the crankcase ventilation hose and intake hose. You should replace cable ties with new ones when performing the reassembly procedures. A vehicle will need to relearn its adaptive strategy after the battery reconnection so it will show unusual driving behavior until reaching at least 16 km (10 miles) of movement.
