I am about to declare my Air Intake Manifold and I have no idea what the tightening sequence is or the amount of torque needed. It's a 2.3 liter VTEC engine with and automatic transmission.

Good afternoon,

I attached the torque sequence for you of the upper intake. There is no sequence but I would go from the center out when torquing.

I would use an inch-pound torque wrench. Most larger ones do not go down this low.

Replace the throttle body gasket as well while you are there.
