2005 Ford Focus Intake Manifold Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the intake manifold on 2005 Ford Focus?

  A: The repair and maintenance of an intake manifold should start with hoisting the vehicle at a height while putting the transmission in neutral gear. First remove the cooling fan motor with its shroud assembly along with the lower intake manifold bolt and air cleaner outlet pipe while disconnecting the vent tube and loosening its clamps. To take off the accelerator control snow shield begin by disconnecting both the evaporative emissions hose pin-type retainer followed by removing its screw and pin-type retainer until the snow shield can be removed. You should strip the connections between the throttle body and both accelerator cable and speed control cable before setting aside the bracket with control cables. Disconnect the Throttle Position (TP) sensor and Idle Air Control (IAC) valve electrical connectors as well as the evaporative emissions hose and power brake booster vacuum tube by depressing their quick release locking rings. According to the procedure disconnect the fuel rail pressure and temperature sensor vacuum hose while also detaching the wiring harness pin-type retainer and then disconnecting the Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) actuator and Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor electrical connectors. To disconnect the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) vacuum supply hose alongside the swirl control valve electrical connector on 2.0L engines you must remove the bolt and oil level indicator tube while marking bolt locations before reinstallation because different sized bolts are used. Engineers should detach electrical swirl valve connectors from 2.3L engines while removing their pin-type retainers before taking out the bolts and oil level indicator tube and recording each bolt location. The intake manifold should be lifted for access to disconnect the Knock Sensor electrical connector before removing the Positive Crankcase Ventilation hose and uninstalling both intake manifold and Exhaust Gas Recirculation tube. To perform the installation of new components it is important to first inspect for damaged gaskets and replace them if needed before placing the EGR tube and positioning the intake manifold while attaching both the PCV hose and KS electrical connector. The installation of bolts in 2.3L engines requires using a 6-inch, 5/16-inch diameter hose to facilitate lower center mounting bolt attachment while maintaining bolt placement at the marked locations. Clean engine oil should be used to lubricate the O-ring before attaching the oil level indicator tube with its bolts followed by connecting the swirl valve electrical connectors with pin-type retainers. The installation of 2.0L engine bolts should happen in designated sections while you must lubricate the O-ring and join the swirl control valve electrical connector together with the AIR vacuum supply hose if present. You should install the lower intake bolt followed by connecting the MAP sensor and IMRC actuator electrical connectors before you attach the wiring harness pin-type retainer and connect the fuel rail pressure and temperature sensor vacuum hose and the power brake booster vacuum tube. The next steps include connecting the evaporative emissions hose together with the IAC valve electrical connector, TP sensor electrical connector, accelerator cable, speed control cable and accelerator cable bracket installation using bolts. Install the accelerator control snow shield with the air cleaner outlet pipe while completing the procedure by reinstalling the cooling fan motor assembly and its shroud.
