2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty Intake Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove the intake manifold on 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty?

  A: Begin by disconnecting the battery ground cable along with draining the coolant system for the intake manifold replacement procedure. To begin the task start by taking off the air cleaner outlet tube followed by compressing and sliding the hose clamp for water outlet hose and finally the removal of accelerator cable splash shield. Before proceeding you need to relieve the fuel system pressure followed by accelerator cable speed control cable disconnection while taking out the return spring to place the accelerator cable bracket to the side. The first step includes cutting connections of the PCV vacuum hose together with coolant lines in addition to braking vacuum systems and engine monitor cables. Use a wrench to remove the right-hand bolt of the radio interference cap then place the cap aside before cutting the vacuum supply line. Continue by disconnecting first the five right-hand fuel injector electrical connectors followed by the five ignition coil electrical connectors then the idle air control motor electrical connector and bypass hose and the heater hose. The technician should disconnect EGR transducer and throttle position sensor connectors before positioning the EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube while detaching upper fittings and loosening lower fittings. Remove the EGR valve vacuum line together with the EVR solenoid electrical and vacuum harness if these components exist. The throttle body adapter needs removal by uninstalling its four bolts along with the gasket. You must detach the EVR bracket when present by removing the bolts. First disconnect the five left-hand fuel injector electrical connectors and then the ignition coil connectors and finally remove the water temperature indicator sender unit electrical connectors. The generator and ignition coils must be removed by dissolving their ten bolts before disconnecting the fuel injection supply manifold by removing its fuel lines and vacuum connector from the fuel pressure regulator. The bolt needs removal before setting the capacitor aside and then disconnecting the cylinder head temperature sensor. First remove the water thermostat together with the housing unit and then proceed with removing the bolts before extracting the upper intake manifold and intake manifold gaskets that needs disposal. You should detach the fuel injection supply manifold by unbolting its four support points before disassembling the upper from the lower intake manifolds by removing all ten bolts. Regular cleaning of mating surfaces requires caution as metal scrapers and wire brushes together with abrasive tools should be avoided to stay safe from leak paths.
