Air Filters and Intake Manifolds

The map sensor on a '00 Accent GS is on the intake manifold above the fuel injectors about midway across the engine. It's s little black box with a screw on each side and a harness coming off of it. Go to hmaservice.com and look up your car. (a 2000 is an Accent LC) then look under Fuel System, Engine Control System, Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP). Good Luck!

I did just that today on my son's 2000 Saturn SL1. It had a slight miss at idle speeds. After re-torqe the miss seems to be gone. I think he had a slight vacuum leak. Understand, I am no master mechanic. To have a new intake gasket installed by a mechanic would have run around $500. I figured that I had nothing to loose by trying. It seems to have helped and maybe solved the problem. I'm also going to run some fuel cleaner through the system. I'm sure that some dirt seeped past the leak. Make sure you don't tighten the nut so tight that it brakes.

Yes. If an intake manifold gasket was not installed properly or has somehow become damaged the engine will pull air through the opening.

You need to give a year make and model for the car.They are all in different locations.

machine used to lift loads.

20-25 rule of thumb used by gearheads. You must reduce backpressure remainder of system w/duals preferably & add a balance tube (crossover)

Replace the manifold gaskets.

Word to the Wise: It would help to know what caused the leak. Bolts not tightened in correct pattern or torque, or just old age? Also, if manifold is aluminum, don't gouge the gasket mounting surfaces, only smooth w/ the yellow fingers tool you can get from SnapOn, or use fine sandpaper and a sanding block. Don't polish the surfaces either, or the gasket will slip or blow out.

If equipped it is under the dash on the passenger side. Look up under the glove box for a sliding access panel. The cabin filter is only found on vans with split zone temp control.

not exactly it will cause a vaccume leak and therfore cause the computer to compensate but not directly hurt the fuel injectors

The rotation of the push rods have to always rotate in a certain direction. It is relative to the crankshaft. Looking at the front of the typical V8 engine, the crankshaft will move on a clockwise direction. I hope I answered your question.

A device that is made to remove tiny particles of dust from the incoming air.

Doesn't have a cabin filter.

Same as a standard small block , just do every thing carefully and use good intake manifold gaskets or you,ll get a vacuum leak. Just follow a manual carefully, it's not hard to do ,make sure everythings clean and done correctly. Invest in A Chilton, or haynes manual which you can pic-up at any parts store) auto zone, O'rilleys, ect) Then it will be a snap. Basicly you will take off your carb & Distributor when changing your Intake mannifold. The heads well I havent done those yet but I dont think much eles has to be removed now you may want to take some other parts off but that would be just to make life easier. For example I had to jack my engine up when replacing the oil pan and I removed the fuel pump to make it easier on myself. Granted I had to replace the fuel pump gaskets but it was worth it to me.

There are several things to check most of the time you will need to replace the catalitic converter, this is common enough that the dealer still stocks the parts, also the upstream and down stream sensors must be calibrated after you replace the cat. BE VERY CAREFUL not to confuse the o2 sensors when thay are removed,

The best way is to use a drill bit for metal and drill a small hole in the bolt. then use an extractor to back the broken bolt out.

No.

Probably a leaky FPR diaphragm or bad MAP sensor reading.

If bad FPR diaphragm replace the fuel pressure regulator. This will also fix the misfiring, excessive fuel consumption, catalytic converter burning up, and rapid engine wear.

If MAP sensor, replace sensor and/or hose to sensor. May also fix: check engine light on, hesitation on acceleration.

I have had the same problem with my 2003 Focus. I have heard from a couple garages that this is a common issue with the Ford Focus air filter box and cannot simply be fixed. The air box will have to be replaced. I have been quoted around $400.00 for the work, but I'm pretty sure there are better deals out there. The part is just molded plastic and I'm sure it's not that difficult to swap out. For the meantime I drilled out the bad screws and have the box secured with duct tape.
