How to service and repair the Exhaust Manifold for the 2.3L engine on 2008 Ford Escape?

Start the 2.3L manifold catalytic converter service process by removing the exhaust flexible pipe and then the two catalytic converter bracket bolts. The service starts with removing both heat shield bolts and the shield itself. You should disconnect both the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) electric connector and the catalyst monitor sensor electric connector. Take out the catalytic converter from the vehicle by first removing and discarding seven catalytic converter manifold nuts then discarding the catalytic converter manifold gasket. Clean up the seven catalytic converter manifold studs for future replacement but discard them before you check and clean the catalytic converter manifold. The first step for installation includes tight installation of new catalytic converter studs at 17 Nm (13 lb-ft). The correct placement of a new catalytic converter manifold gasket on the engine requires tightening the catalytic converter nuts first to their specification before installing the converter bracket bolts to stop exhaust leaks. The procedure calls for two passes of nut tightening at 47 Nm (35 lb-ft) with specific installation order. Secure the HO2S and catalyst monitor sensor electrical connectors before positioning the heat shield and installing six heat shield bolts which should be tightened to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). Install the two bracket bolts onto the converter position before positioning the exhaust flexible pipe. Secure the bolts at 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
