2002 Ford Escape Intake Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the intake manifold on 2002 Ford Escape?

  A: Service and repair interventions on the intake manifold require operators to start by relieving fuel supply line pressure to protect themselves before removing the fuel injection supply manifold. Start by disconnecting the Throttle Position (TP) sensor electrical connector together with the Idle Air Control (IAC) electrical connector before removing the harness from its bracket. The service begins with disconnecting engine control sensor wiring at its mounting bracket along with removing the connector before disconnecting the PCM wire harness and brake booster vacuum supply hose and four vacuum lines, Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) vacuum line, and Knock Sensor (KS) electrical connector. Lower the vehicle and then remove the generator before proceeding to remove the intake manifold through the removal of two nuts followed by five bolts according to the prescribed sequence. The inspection process requires discarding any damaged intake manifold gaskets. Install new intake manifold gaskets unless required before installing the intake manifold while tightening it as per the provided sequence. The installer will first reinstall the generator then raise the vehicle before connecting the KS electrical connector. Proceed to reattach all components such as the PCV vacuum line together with the four vacuum lines and the brake booster vacuum supply hose to the intake manifold. Reinstall the PCM wire harness combined with all main engine control sensor wiring and IAC electrical connector and TP sensor electrical connector. Apply the fuel injection supply manifold as the final step.
