Use a chiltons manual first to study the designs and specifications.
safety:1.drain all coolant. the plug is at the base of the radiator and is a plastic plug that requires a Phillips head. take care not to lose it.
2.relieve the fuel pressure by starting the engine and then pulling out the fuel fuse located in the cab. for exact location, use the diagram on the cover plate.
3.disconnect the battery and cover the terminal and the wire leading to it to prevent them from touching or bridging the space between them.
First, you must free all of the wires and cables that will be over the intake area. Then remove the spark plug cap. and the plug wirse from their plugs. keep plu#6 and its wire connected to each other, but separate the wire from the cap and lay it aside. Then start loosening hoses that are connected to the back of the plenum. they are hard to get at and I cut them, and replaced them with new ones because it was so much easier that way instead of loosening them. loosen all bolts connecting the plenum to the intake. do this in the reverse order of tightening sequence. a breaker bar will be most helpful. and feel for a sensor in the back of the plenum on its underside. also disconnect that. it will hinder movement. set the plenum to the right with most of the hoses and such still attached. then disconnect the bolt securing the intake to the frame. it is hidden under it and you have to feel for it. it takes an 8mm socket. its not too hard to get undone. but keep a magnet on hand. disconnect the coolant hose from the front side and then disconnect the fitting, requiring the removal of two bolts in the back of the manifold. disconnect the fuel line leading to the fuel bar. and try to leave the fuel bar attached to the manifold. but do disconnect the wires leading to all of the injectors. then loosen all of the manifold bolts in reverse order of tightening sequence. if the intake manifold is stuck to the heads, use a piece of wood as a buffer between your mallet and the soft aluminum. when putting it all back together, get new gaskets for everything. this is a great time to also replace your thermostat. put it in the right direction. take a picture of the thermostat in its housing when you first see it so you will be sure what direction it faces. when putting the bolts back in, use a torque bar for the right specs and always hand tighten all bolts going into any metal threads before you take a tool to them. it is tedious, but will save you from buying a new intake manifold or plenum. reinstall all as before seen and make it pretty. reconnect the fuse, and put the coolant back in. enjoy.
The PCV valve is located on the back, drivers side of the intake manifold in a short, rubber hose. It is threaded into the intake manifold close to the last "N" in Nissan which is imprinted into the intake manifold. It requires a 3/4" wrench to remove it.
Under the intake manifold, u need to completely remove your intake manifold to Access it..
I HAVE A 2002 NISSAN FRONTIER 4X4 3.3 L V6 I HAVE KNOW IDEA WERE THE KNOCK SENSOR IS LOCATED The knock sensor on the 3.3l model should be under your intake manifold, which means you will have to remove the upper intake manifold to access it. on 2.4l models, it is located on the side of the engine block.
The knock sensor for most Nissan V6 engines is located directly under the intake manifold. So to replace it, you have to remove the intake manifold. Good Luck.
remove intake manifold.
It's in the intake one of the bigger hoses that go in. You have to use a wrench to remove it.
the knock sensor is located under the intake manifold, with a flash light you can see it however you have to remove the intake manifold to replace the knock sensor , also you will need to replace the intake gasket set as well!
There is 2 of them. and they are under the intake manifold. You will have to remove the intake manifold to get to them.
Remove the intake manifold retaining bolts from your 1993 Mercedes-Benz manifold. Remove the old manifold gasket. Clean the surface and put the new gasket on.
Remove the intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and then remove the head.
BACK SIDE OF ENGINE, UNDER INTAKE MANIFOLD, BOLTED TO TRANSMISSION LEFT OF THE OIL FILTER
Basically you remove the throttle body, fuel rail, and anything else that is plugging into it, then unbolt it. You need to get a shop manual however, because there is a specific bolt pattern you need to use to avoid damage.
