2007 Chevrolet Corvette Intake Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the intake manifold on 2007 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: Start by taking off the engine sight covers (2, 3) then disconnect the electrical connector which controls fuel injectors and electrical connectors which control the Throttle Body. Begin by cutting power to the fuel injectors then detach the Brake Booster vacuum hose followed by removing power from the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor electrical connector. Start by removing the MAP Sensor (714) with its grommet (715) when necessary and follow up with the evaporative emission (EVAP) clip (740) and bolt (742) and bracket (741) and valve (730) and tubes (729, 735). Start by removing Intake Manifold bolts (512) and Fuel Rail stop bracket (712) before removing the Intake Manifold (500) along with discarding existing Intake Manifold gaskets (514). New Intake Manifold-to-cylinder head gaskets (514) should be used when installing the Intake Manifold (500). Apply threadlocker to the first 5 mm (0.20 in) of Intake Manifold bolt (512) threads before bolt (512) installation with stop bracket (712) and final bolt tightening order to 5 n.m (44 lb in) and 10 n.m (89 lb in). Install the MAP Sensor (714) together with grommet (715) after applying clean engine oil to the grommet. First tighten the evap valve bolt (742) to 50 n.m (37 lb ft) then install the evap tubes (729, 735) and Fuel Rail. The MAP Sensor electrical connector should be connected while the Brake Booster receives its vacuum hose installation and the Throttle Body electrical connectors need realignment and the fuel injectors require their electrical connector to be reconnected. Finish cooling system refilling then install engine sight covers 2 and 3.
