2001 Ford Focus Intake Manifold Parts Q&A

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

  A: Starting the intake manifold service begins with disconnecting the battery ground cable followed by unfastening the necessary cable ties. Keep these ties for reuse when reinstalling the system. The air cleaner housing extraction involves removing the MAF sensor connector and disconnecting the crankcase ventilation hose and intake hose before pulling the housing through rubber bushings. You must then disconnect the accelerator and speed control cables from the throttle body and remove the EGR valve and EGR pipe bracket while pulling off all vacuum hoses and disconnecting the fuel injector wires together with the camshaft position (CMP) sensor. The intake manifold requires removal when the fuel line needs depressurization and detachment before unscrewing all front-end studs and five bolts with two nuts. First, insert the intake manifold studs before securing them at 10 Nm torque then tightening the five bolts followed by the two nuts. Install the fuel line before you reconnect the fuel injector wires and CMP sensor and vacuum hose installations. Secure the new gasket and EGR valve with its bracket before connecting the accelerator cable to the throttle body and the speed control cable. Reinstall the air cleaner housing by inserting the air filter housing into rubber bushings before attaching the MAF sensor connector as well as crane and intake hoses. New cable ties should be installed one at a time according to need. Someone operating the vehicle after reconnecting the battery should expect some unusual operation symptoms since the vehicle learns its adaptive approach during a minimum 16 km (10 miles) driving period. The last step includes attaching the battery ground cable.
