Pontiac Firebird Intake Manifold
Intake Manifold is a very important component of Pontiac Firebird vehicles where it is responsible for delivering the air or air/fuel mixture to the cylinder with much related to its power and performance. It works by drawing air from the throttle body or carburetor, though it differs according to the engine existing. For example, the carbureted / throttle body injected engines introduce a fuel in the manifold while the multiport fuel injected engines have separate injectors for the purpose. From the old school cast iron and aluminum varieties, to today's light-weight composite plastics, Pontiac Firebird intake manifolds are a model of efficiency by simply delivering cool air, and therefore maximizing fuel efficiency. Some designs provide variable-length intake manifolds (VLIM) in order to optimise the airflow when the load of an engine increases or decreases. They help the Pontiac Firebird vehicles to maximize on the efficiency and power due to proper harmonization of air and fuel balances.
Each OEM Pontiac Firebird Intake Manifold we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Pontiac Firebird Intake Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to disconnect and replace the intake manifold in four cylinder engine on Pontiac Firebird?A: Loose the cable from the negative battery terminal, while doing so unscrew all the hoses from the air cleaner assembly, mark them by number and label them in an organized manner so as to know where to reconnect each one of them. Refer to the existing wear elements for their description, location and function that is as follows: Label, and then removed the fuel line and vacuum line connected to the throttle body, plus the electrical connector; do have a container ready for fuel which will come dripping once you unhook the fuel line and cap it. Remove the throttle linkage and make sure you take note where it was, and remove the cruise control linkage if installed. Pull the coil wire out, then unscrew the two brass retaining screws and one steel bolt and then extracted the coil. Disconnected the coolant hoses from the manifold, then use the manifold retaining bolts to loose the manifold from the cylinder head without levering or tapping between them in order not to damage the gasket sealing surfaces. Take off the manifold gasket, and if necessary, reinstall all components which are already connected to the old manifold to the new one. Before installing the cylinder head or manifold gasket, it is recommended that the sealing surfaces of both the cylinder head and manifold gasket be cleaned completely of all gasket material and sealing compound. Run an RTV-type silicone sealant around the intake manifold and the cylinder head flanges so that it will not ooze into air or water passages when tightening the bolts. Put a fresh intake manifold gasket on the manifold, align the manifold to the cylinder head, and put the mounting bolts just enough to been turned by hand. It is recommended that the mounting bolts should be tightened gradually in this sequence to the specified torque range. Reinstall the remaining components in the reverse order of removal, pour more coolant in the radiator, switch on the engine and look for evidence of the leak, rectify the ignition timing and the idle speed as required.
