2009 Cadillac SRX Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the lower intake manifold on 2009 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Begin the lower Intake Manifold replacement process by switching off the ignition and removing the fuel injector sight shield. Begin by removing the air inlet duct and recording the booster hose pathway before disconnecting the brake booster check valve along with its associated hose. Remove the brake booster hose from its current position on the Intake Manifold so you can disconnect the purge solenoid valve electrical connector and purge line from the purge solenoid valve and fuel injector harness electrical connector and Throttle Body electrical connector. Remove the wiring harness retainer and upper Intake Manifold brace stud and bolt then reposition the brace next to the wiring harness. The right side Throttle Body receives its wiring harness retainer while the pcv hose disconnects from the right bank camshaft cover alongside the barometric pressure sensor electrical connector and the Intake Manifold runner control solenoid electrical connector. When removing the left bank ignition coil wiring harness from its bracket retain both upper to lower Intake Manifold bolts and protect the fuel pipe from damage. Begin by removing the Intake Manifold bolts before moving the Intake Manifold into place to gain access to the fuel pipe connector. You must remove the fuel feed pipe retainer to disconnect the fuel feed pipe from the Fuel Rail. You must remove the Intake Manifold components to conduct a thorough clean and inspection of the entire system. Installation requires the correct assembly of the Intake Manifold along with gasket inspection to determine replacement of the lower Intake Manifold gasket when it presents wear or damage followed by lower Intake Manifold gasket installation. The installation process begins with fitting the Intake Manifold followed by connecting the fuel injector harness electrical connector and the Intake Manifold runner control solenoid electrical connector and barometric pressure sensor electrical connector and pcv hose from the right bank camshaft cover. Begin by installing the wiring harness retainer while maintaining the correct wiring connector engagement. Then connect the Throttle Body electrical connector followed by the fuel injector harness electrical connector and the fuel feed pipe to the Fuel Rail. Attach the purge line to the purge solenoid valve followed by fuel pipe retainer installation and electrical connection of the purge solenoid valve. Complete the installation by fastening the brake booster hose and check valve onto the brake booster and air inlet duct and the fuel injector sight shield.
