2003 Ford Crown Victoria Intake Manifold Parts Q&A

• Q: How to install the intake manifold on gasoline engines on 2003 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: The process starts with placing the gasket locator tabs on the cylinder head slots before adding new intake manifold gaskets to proceed with the installation of the intake manifold on gasoline engines. First place the intake manifold into position then torque the specified bolts by hand. After securing the ignition coils by tightening their bolts you should install the crash bracket by adding a bolt and a stud for loose attachment. During installation the mechanic should install a new O-ring and water thermostat followed by attachment of the water outlet adapter and bolt tightening with light force. First tighten the specified bolts before progressing to the stud along with the other remaining bolts. The EGR system module tube needs connection to its respective module before installing the EGR system module tube heat shield and bolts. Establish a connection between the heater water hose while setting the clamp in place and attach electrical connectors to both the IAC control valve as well as the TP sensor. Users should connect the cables to the crash bracket by using new appropriately sized worm-style clamps to secure the upper radiator hose. Place the generator mounting bracket followed by bolts while attaching electrical connectors and generator cables and using the harness location retainer. First position the vacuum harness then connect the vacuum hose to the EVAP canister purge valve and finally attach the vacuum hoses and electrical connector. Secure the cables onto the EGR tube heat shield before installing the accelerator cable among other components including speed control actuator cable and throttle return spring through cable retaining bolts. These fuel charging wiring electrical connectors should be connected to all eight injectors as well as ignition coils. When raising the vehicle you must connect the power steering system with its oil pressure sensor and A/C compressor clutch and PSP electrical connectors before adding the CKP sensor electrical connector by securing the pin-type retainer to the A/C compressor bracket. The procedure involves lowering the vehicle while you put in the accessory drive belt and wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft before linking the fuel spring lock coupling. You must install the air cleaner along with the outlet pipe before connecting the battery ground cable while checking engine oil levels and completing the cooling system filling and bleeding process.
