2001 Ford Escape Intake Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the intake manifold on 2001 Ford Escape?

  A: Engine maintenance professionals should begin intake manifold servicing by reducing fuel supply line pressure after shutdown so they can prevent injuries before removing the fuel injection supply manifold. Service the intake manifold by removing the Idle Air Control (IAC) electrical connector along with the throttle position sensor electrical connector and removing the bracket holding the harness. The service sequence begins with disconnecting the main engine control sensor wires and then removing its connector from the mount before uncoupling the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) wire harness and brake booster vacuum supply hose and four vacuum lines and Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) vacuum line and Knock Sensor (KS) electrical connector. Before removing the intake manifold the generator needs to be lowered and two nuts plus five bolts must be removed in a specific order. Check for any damage in the intake manifold gaskets then remove any broken ones. New intake manifold gaskets should be used during installation before proceeding to install the intake manifold using the specified tightening sequence. Proceed by reinstalling the generator while following with raising the vehicle and connecting the KS electrical connector. Lower the vehicle for PCV vacuum line and four vacuum line and brake booster vacuum supply hose installation onto the intake manifold. To finish the installation workers must first join the PCM wire harness to the bracket and the main engine control sensor wiring then proceed by attaching the harness to the bracket and connecting the TP sensor electrical connector. Install the fuel injection supply manifold as the concluding step.
