Air Filters and Intake Manifolds

Air filters are devices that remove solid particles such as dust, mold, and bacteria from the air. Used in building ventilation systems and engines, they contain an intake manifold that is primarily tasked to optimize the system/engine’s performance and efficiency.

How do air filters make the air healthier for people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Air Cleaner in the air intake of the engine has nothing to do with the health of the occupants of the car. However the recent addition of an Air Filter in the Car Air Conditioning system keeps the air inside the car clean of dust and molds which is healthy breathing for the passengers. Therefore periodic cleaning of this filter is good for the A/C performance and passengers health.

Torque them to 35 pounds. then after it has run and cooled off torque them again. You can rent torque wrenches from some parts stores

Asked by Wiki User

try replacing the radiator cap, because it has a pressure release valve that can stick or take out your thermostat altogether, sometimes it runs better without it in the summer only. . HOW IS THE CONDITON OF THE RADIATOR? THERE COULD BE SOME CROSS TUBES THAT ARE CLOGED UP TOWARD THE BOTTOM THAT CAN NOT BEE SEEN. I TEST THIS BY PLACING MY HAND ON THE FACE OF THE RADIATOR AND TRY TO FIND COOL SPOTS.

This information with sketches is available in your owner's manual. If you don't have one Subaru thoughtfully supplies on in .pdf format here:

I just looked up this information and it is all there. If your car is equipped with the optional filter it is under the dash on the passenger's side.

How difficult of a job is it to replace an intake manifold gasket on a 99' Saturn SL1?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you have a general automotive knowledge and some metric wrenches and sockets, you should be able to do it. Might take you 1 - 1.5 hrs to remove it. Not to difficult really except that it is behind the engine and some of the lower intake mounting bolts may be tough to see.

What is the difference in a lower priced cold air induction kit compaired to a high dollar one?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Simple: you get what you pay for. Typically, a lower-end priced cold air kit won't offer the performance, reliability, nor the fit of a higher-end or more expensive kit. Higher end kits cost more because they have more effort put into making the product, thus needing to get what they put into making the product back. Lower end kits are made in quantity, not neccessarily quality, so they can sell them just to get back what they have put into them. Never settle for something cheap, especially if it is going into something expensive. it's just not worth it. Think of it this way, if you're willing to take the time to put something into your car for obvious performance enhancing reasons, why would you do it cheap? leave things like they are, or save up the money.

Where is the ventilation air inlet filter located on a 2006 Ford Focus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

On some of these SUVs it is behind the glove box.

But it`s not a SUV

In a Focus 2006, AND in the fiesta/fusion from 2002 AND the C-Max, Mondeo, S-Max and Galaxy, the ventilation air filter is mounted next to the trottle pedal. All you need to do is to remove the trottle pedal (just 3 bolts). Right next to the pedal there`s the filter cover. It`s secured with three to four Torq screws (depending which model), size 20 (just a small one). Remove the screws and the cover and here`s your ventilation air filter

How do you replace the cabin air filter on a 1998 Mercedes-Benz C230?

User Avatar

Asked by IamLostRU

This is an easy one. There are three screws under the glove box that will expose the fan and the cabin filter once the cover is removed. The cabin filter is on the left with two white plastic retaining clips approx. 2 inches long, pull the one close to you toward you and the back one away from you. This will allow the filter to drop out. Make sure the cover seats when reinstalling clips.

How much horsepower does a k and n air-filter add?

Asked by Wiki User

In normal everyday driving it will add no extra horsepower. In a racing situation at high rpms it will add some but not much. How much depends on the engine that it is installed on.

How do you remove the air intake manifold on a 1998 suburban to replace the gasket?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

replacing the Intake manifold gasket is Avery detailed process. Which includes unhooking alot of wire harnesses, removing all the accessorie brackets on the front of the engine( alt, p/s, a/c,) and in some cases the a/c has to be drained and refilled.The distributor has to be removed and you have to have a scanner to set the timing when your finished. All the manifold bolts have to be tightened to a specific torque. Specials tools are needed for these repairs.This is not one of thpse repairs the average person should attempt. One misstake and you could very easily ruin the motor. If you still wish to try this repair invest in a Haynes repair manual, you can get them at any AutoZone and all the infermation you'll need will be in there, including the torque specs.

What to do with Oil leaks by manifold?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are talking about the EXHAUST manifold then most of the time it's the valve cover gasket that is leaking oil. REPLACE VALVE COVER GASKETS.

If you are talking about the intake manifold then it has 2 rubber gaskets in the front and rear of it that leak oil real bad. If oil is on the left are right top sides of the intake manifold were the valve covers are then it will be the valve cover gaskets that are leaking oil.
