intake

jeepkaiser65 · 11-14-2006, 05:54 PM

I a trying to take my intake off my 7mgte, Ive taken all the bolts, elec. connections, and hosses off like the book says, but it still wont budge. I have tried using a mallet but it wont budge. Any ideas?

Towards the front of the intake there is this snorkel that goes under the passengerside headlight (not all the way but for the most part). Its tricky getting this out but if you pull back (towards the windshield) it'll move.

Also, make sure you get ALL the bolts.

And if you pull hard enough the accordian hose has enough give in it to allow the intake to come out.

are you trying to take the whole thing out or just the black dome thing at the end?

Guys I think he means the throttle body.

Yeah raven, sorry about that. I meen the throttle body. I have got the chamber seperated from the peice that connects to the head about 1/16", But something is holding it back. But now that yall brought it up Im looking at re-routing the air intake. Id like too see some pics of what ppl have done.

Check the underside of the throttle body ipe they have bolts that hard to see and frusterating to get off.

make sure u unbolt the egr valve its next to the firewall its kind of tricky a 12mm short socket with a 6inch extension should do the trick. theres two nuts top and bottom.
