Being one of the components of the Ford Explorer car's fuel system, the Intake Valve is responsible for controlling airflow and the mixture of the subsequent air-fuel detonation, which increases the efficiency in engine performance. These valves must open and close at certain intervals so as to provide for the correct mixtures and combustion to occur, failure to do so means poor combustion and thus, less power generated by the engine. There have been several types of Intake Valves used in different generations of Ford Explorers where the differences were mostly on the mere design and material which influences the durability and workability. It is advisable to change the Intake Valve as soon as is feasible if damaged since it leads to expensive expenditures if not rectified and in extreme cases even an engine breakdown. Replacement of the new Intake Valve requires tools and a number of appropriate steps to facilitate correct functioning of the new valve in the chain of operations of the engine system.
