2001 Ford E-250 Econoline Intake Manifold Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the upper intake manifold on 2001 Ford E-250 Econoline?

  A: The service and repair process for the upper intake manifold begins with removing both air cleaner assembly and engine cover. The first step is to unfasten the accelerator cable followed by the speed control cable provided by the vehicle system. Then separate the clip push pin from the accelerator control splash shield before discarding the clip push pin. First disconnect the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve connector and then take out the IAC valve assembly. The service process at the throttle body requires disconnecting the accelerator cable and speed control actuator cable when provided alongside disconnecting these cables from the cable bracket. Take out the spark plug wire holders before unfastening all 12 bolts securing the upper intake manifold. During reinstallation install a new accelerator control splash shield clip push pin while examining the intake manifold upper gasket for damage and requiring replacement if necessary. Bolt tightening procedure consists of two steps: initiate at 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.) before completing at 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).
