2001 Mercury Villager Intake Manifold Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the upper intake manifold on 2001 Mercury Villager?

  A: The service and repair of an upper intake manifold should start by emptying the engine cooling system. The service and repair process starts by disconnecting the electrical connectors for the MAP/BARO sensor and solenoid and TP sensor and switch and ISC connector while removing the air cleaner outlet tube. The service begins by releasing the clamp on the coolant hose then disconnecting both the EVAP vacuum hose along with the fuel regulator vacuum hose. Unplug all spark plug wires by taking off their retainers. Numerous steps must be taken to detach the connections from the vacuum reservoir vacuum hose while relocating the wire harness along with its bracket by unbolting it and unbolting both speed control and accelerator cables before placing their securing bolts safely aside. Athirst the brake booster check valve vacuum hose and unclip the MAP/BARO solenoid vacuum hose before you disconnect the MAP/BARO vacuum hoses. Begin the procedure by taking out the screws holding the PCV breather tube brackets while clamping the PCV breather hose off its breather tube. EvAP purge solenoid electrical connector must be removed before you remove bolts from the upper intake manifold to access its bottom section. The removal process starts with hose disconnect by removing the clamp then removing coolant and vacuum hoses followed by the PCV vacuum hose until the upper intake manifold and its gaskets can be removed. Begin with new intake manifold gasket installation before setting upper intake manifold properly and securing the vacuum hose in place. You should first connect the coolant hose before positioning the clamp while also installing the upper intake manifold and its bolts. Attach the EVAP purge solenoid electrical connector to the breather tube alongside the PCV breather hose by using a clamp for securing the connection. You should mount the PCV breather tube bracket bolts and connect MAP/BARO vacuum hoses while guiding the MAP/BARO solenoid vacuum hose into the clip position. Next reunite the brake booster check valve vacuum hose by placing the clamp while installing the speed control and accelerator cable brackets with their corresponding bolts. Install the main wire harness bracket while tightening the bolt before you reconnect both speed control and accelerator cables and the vacuum reservoir vacuum hose. Clamp the fuel regulator vacuum hose and the EVAP vacuum hose securely after connecting the spark plug wires by applying their retainers. Complete the coolant hose connection by installing the clamp and reconnect the electrical cables which include TP sensor, TP switch and ISC. Complete the installation with the air cleaner outlet tube and perform engine cooling system filling.
