• Q: How to replace the left exhaust manifold on 2000 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: Replacement of the left Exhaust Manifold begins with raising and supporting the vehicle body. First disconnect the heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) before taking out the left-hand intermediate pipe flange nuts from the Exhaust Manifold studs. First lower the vehicle and then remove the fuel rail cover from the system. To replace the fuel system pressure the fuel pressure gauge (J 34730-1A) should be used. First disconnect the electrical connectors of Coolant Temperature Sensor and generator before removing the accessory Drive Belt from the generator pulley and generator itself. First disconnect the air check valve hose and then proceed to remove the air pipe with its bolts and gasket from the Exhaust Manifold before repositioning both components. Uninstall the air pipe retainer at the Cylinder Head rear section before putting it back into position. Start by extracting Spark Plug Wires from both coils and also the spark plugs from their positions in the Cylinder Head and Exhaust Manifold. Discard the gasket. You should begin the installation steps with the Exhaust Manifold followed by inserting the spark plugs into the Cylinder Head before adding the Spark Plug Wires to both the spark plugs and coils. Fit the air pipe with gasket and bolts onto the Exhaust Manifold while torquing the air pipe bolts to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). Put the air pipe retainer at the Cylinder Head rear section before you tighten its bolt to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). Connect the air hose to the air check valve using a torque of 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). Connect the generator to its place afterward install the accessory Drive Belt to the generator pulley. Reinstall the fuel rail cover to the engine after plugging in both generator and Coolant Temperature Sensor electrical connectors. Moisten the h02s sensor then lift the vehicle before screwing in the intermediate pipe flange to the Exhaust Manifold studs and intermediate pipe flange nuts until a torque of 20 nm (15 ft.
