Intake manifold replaced, no start

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

First, if you only used gasket maker, take it apart, clean the gasket maker off, and install the correct gaskets.

I have sent the directions three times and it won't send. I am going to try this on two different replies. This will include the specific directions for replacement. The next will be the pictures.

Make sure the guide pins aren't holding the manifold up from properly attaching.

INTAKE MANIFOLD
Intake Manifold

Removing

All cable ties opened or cut during engine removal must be reinstalled at the same locations during installation.

- Bring lock carrier into service position. Refer to => [ Lock Carrier, Moving into Service Position ] See: Engine > Removal and Replacement > Lock Carrier, Moving Into Service Position.

- Remove rear engine cover - arrows -.

- Remove front engine cover - arrows 1 and 2 -.

- Disconnect vacuum line - arrow - to brake booster at bulkhead.

- If installed, disconnect vacuum line - arrow - to vacuum reservoir.

- Disconnect vacuum hose - arrow - from intake manifold.

- Disconnect electrical connection - 1 - at throttle valve control module (J338).

- Disconnect vacuum hose - 2 -.

- Remove air guide hose - 3 -.

- Disconnect crankcase ventilation hose - 4 - at intake pipe.

- If installed, disconnect vacuum line at area designated with - arrow -.

- Remove electrical harness connectors - 1 to 4 - toward front from brackets on intake pipe.

The electrical connections must not be separated.

- Disconnect vacuum hose - arrow - at T-piece.

- Disconnect connector strips - 1 - and - 5 - at fuel injectors.

- For vehicles with fuel return line, disconnect vacuum line - 4 - on fuel pressure regulator.

- Remove retaining bolts - 2 - and - 3 - for fuel rail pipe.

- Remove fuel distributor together with fuel injectors from intake manifold simultaneously upward and place it on a clean rag in engine compartment.

Carefully protect the removed fuel injectors from contamination.

- Remove left rear engine lifting eye - arrows -.

- Remove intake manifold bolts - arrows - and remove it.

Plug the intake ports of the cylinder head with clean rags.

Installing

Installation is in reverse order of removal, note the following:

Replace gaskets and O-rings.

Secure all hose connections using hose clamps appropriate for the model type.

During installation, all cable ties must be re-installed at the same location.

- Replace intake manifold gaskets, thereby removing the locking bolt - 1 -.

- Be aware of the alignment pins - 2 - when setting the intake manifold in place.

- Fasten intake manifold bolts in a diagonal sequence and in steps - arrows -.

- Install lock carrier with attachments. Refer to =>
Radiator Support See: Radiator Support > Removal and Replacement

- Place torque support on rubber buffer for torque support and tighten bolts - arrows -.

- Install front bumper cover.

- Check headlight adjustment.

Tightening Specifications

Let me know if this helps.

Okay, I think this may work. One other thought, make sure to properly torque everything. The last picture shows torque specs.

Hi:

Disconnecting the fuel like shouldn't have caused this. However, make sure the fuel pressure is within spec and make sure you have spark to the plugs.

Let me know how it goes for you.

Welcome back:

I believe what you are pointing to is the intake manifold changeover valve. Yes, that can cause running issues, but it should still run.

Take a look at the picture I attached and see if that is the component you have in your pictures. It's number 4 in my picture. Also, let me know if it is electric or vacuum on your vehicle.

Did you retrace the wiring to the injectors? If you are showing an open, that tells me either one of the pins in the connector isn't touching or you accidentally damaged wiring. Since the circuit is open, the affected injector isn't working and causing the misfire.
