2005 Ford Ranger Intake Manifold Parts Q&A

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

  A: Start the intake manifold servicing procedure by emptying the engine coolant from the system. First remove the accelerator control snow shield while also taking off the air cleaner outlet tube. Throttle cable service requires personnel to disconnect all throttle cables from the intake manifold and their attachment to the throttle linkage and mounting bracket and the accelerator cable and speed control cable. The service begins with disconnecting the electrical connector of the throttle position (TP) sensor and the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor and the vacuum hose and idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connector. The maintenance process requires disconnected engine vacuum harness along with brake booster hose and crankcase breather hose and coolant hoses. Disconnect both pin-type retainer screws anchoring the intake manifold while also extracting the pin-type retainers positioned at its rear. To proceed with the engine repair remove the bolt holding the EGR tube bracket while you disconnect the fuel hose from its clip then break the bolts that connect the EGR tube to the flange. First disconnect the vapor purge hose then proceed with detaching the 42-pin electrical connector from the bracket followed by removing the engine knock sensor (KS) electrical connector and the connector from the intake manifold. Unfasten the wiring harness push pin situated at the bottom of the intake manifold together with its bracket while simultaneously detaching the fuel supply tube from the manifold. You should remove the intake manifold after disconnecting its five mounting bolts. Before installation you should inspect the necessary intake manifold gaskets for replacement before mounting the manifold and its five bolts. Position the wiring push pin to join the three components which are the bottom of the intake manifold and the engine KS connector and the electrical connector. You should connect the 42-pin electrical connector to the bracket while linking the vapor purge hose for completion. First screw on the EGR flange mounting bolts then reattach the fuel hose into its clip before placing the EGR tube bracket bolt. Put back the bracket then return the engine wiring harness into position before attaching the pin-type retainers. Seam all important connections that link the engine vacuum harness with the brake booster hose and crankcase breather hose and coolant hoses. Run the vapor purge hose together with the IAC valve electrical connector then connect the MAP sensor and TP sensor electrical connectors. The last step includes attaching throttle cables to intake components while reconnecting accelerator and speed control wires to mounting hardware and throttle linkage and installing air filter tubing and replacing accelerator control protective covering. Engine cooling system filling and bleeding operations need to be performed to finish the procedure.
