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.

I just went through this problem with my 2004 Grand Vitara. It was in the shop for 2 months before they figured it out. The problem turned out to be the AC was leaking inside of the car and water was pouring down on the computer module. Once the computer module was shorted out it would dump gas into the number 3 piston. Hope this helps.

Why is the exhaust manifold cracked on 91 Geo Storms?
They ALL crack eventually! This is such a widespread problem that you can't find an original manifold in junk yards, and even if you could you wouldn't want one. Why? They ALL crack eventually! The reason seems to be that the casting design had insufficient strength for the loading combination of heat/cool cycle, vibration and thrust from the weight of the exhaust system. (Simply put: a really lousy design.) Fortunately, most auto parts stores and many of the larger junk yards offer aftermarket versions (built much stronger, especially in the "crotch" of the center "V") for $125 or so, though persistance may produce a better deal. There are more than one aftermarket manufacturers of these replacements (no one seems to care if any one is better than the others ... as long as it's better than the original! An alternative would be a set of performance exhaust "headers". E-Bay may have used or new ones. I had my friend at midas weld my manifold and it lasted for a long time. I didn't think it would work but it did! I eventually bought a new reinforced one online because I thought it was leaking again, but it turned out to be the gasket at the bottom of the manifold that was leaking that time.

What causes a motor to backfire out of the intake manifold?
A leaking spark plug wire can cause a backfire out of the intake, but the most common cause is a burned intake valve. A burnt intake valve will allow leakage during the compression stroke back through the intake causing a popping backfire out of the intake manifold.
Can a leaking intake manifold cause a exhaust backfire?
Well I'm about to find out. Going to open up my engine to replace the gaskets in the upper manifold as well as the isolator bolts. Might as well clean the EGR ports while I'm in there. Right now my 2001 Windstar doesn't accelerate to well and going up hills is a nightmare of backfires and stalls ... and it's easy to lose speed on inclines. In Vancouver, BC this is a problem.
I've already cleaned the MAF sensor, changed the plugs and wires, replaced the DPFE, replaced the 02 sensor in the front and checked for EGR vacuum. I'm hoping this is the final fix.

What way should you point the arrows of an air filter for use in the home?
Arrows point in the direction of airflow.
What kind of problems will you have if your Manifold is leaking?
The firt major issue is if you leave it that way you run the risk of sucking out the head and then your problem becomes more expensive to fix.You also can lose gas mileage which is what happened in my car before i sucked the head out and destroyed the engine completely. Longer you let it sit that way the worse it will get First problem is passing emmissions testing. Second depending where the leak is you might have a problem with rough running or decreased performance. This is not a critical fix now item but you should get it done when you can.
How do you remove the cover over the coolant container in a 2003 Toyota Celica?
use somethin like your keys to push the middle of the screw holding the cover in place down. Then remove the screw, real simple and easy, main dealer will charge you £70!!
On a Chevy Astro Van how do you remove the engine cover to change plugs?
USUALLY they have a bolt on each side of the engine cover(dog house) it takes a large & long screw driver to reach the screws/bolts(some are 15MM") plus the 2 snap locks toward the back(bottom) of the cover-butt before that TAKE 2 10 MM nuts off under the back(storage) door-they are at 45? angle and some have 2 screws on each side of the cover on top of the dog house-dicconnect the LIGHTER connection first before you take the top cover off.
Second answer:
It is kind of hard to describe, but I will try. 1st- you take of your inner console, you might have a coffee cup holder and glove box on it. this is done by 2 screws at the top left and right side.
2nd- Then if you pull the carpet back at the bottom you will see 2 nuts, you will need a rachet with an extension to get these. Once you have these off pull the console back, unplug any wire harness that might be there. 2nd Now there maybe a heating duct that runs the heat to the floor in front of the engine cover, remove duct by pulling and wiggling it out of position.
3rd -the engine cover is held on by 2 bolts at the top where it attaches to the fire wall, you will need at least 10inches worth of extensions to reach these bolts. These bolts are captive so they stay in place when loosed off.
4th- there are 2 clamps that hold the engine cover at the bottom, between the two front seats, that are held in place by 2 nuts, remove these clamps and engine cover is free. Make sure both seats are slid back as far as they go, then slide the engine cover back and swing it to the drivers side tilt back and the engine covers come out.
AnswerYou don't have to take off the engine cover (My van is a 1996 Astro) to change the spark plugs. Just jack the van up, remove the front tires. Then remove the protective plastic covers from inside the wheel well to expose the sides of the engine. You will need a ratchet with a long extension, a universal knuckle to go the end of your ratchet extension and of course the spark plug socket with the rubber insert (if it is a spark plug socket by design it will automatically have the rubber insert anyway). You can use a regular deep socket if you want but you run the risk of cracking the porcelain insulator on your new plugs when you install them. . AnswerAll of the other answers are good, but I would like to add: Some of the early Astros have the two recessed bolts that are described in the other answers "turned around", as in they are not accessible from the passenger compartment, but rather from under the hood. They are in the same position, just pointing the other way. As far as changing plugs without removing the dog house, you method is good, but I always change the cap, rotor, and wires when I do plugs. I also use premium parts, like from NAPA, and typically see 100k to 150k from them. I usually only change them once in a given vehicle.Answer
Just removed the cover on my 2001 to fix the common vacuum line failure that causes the AC and vent to come only out the defroster vent.
1. Remove the two allen-head screws on the top left and top right side of the center console area. These are hidden behind decorative "buttons".
2. Remove two nuts (mounted horizontally), at the bottom left and bottom right side of the glovebox, right at the floor, just above the carpet. Socket (10mm) with medium extension.
3. You can now pull out the center console. There are four latching points up towards the top of the console, just below the radio. I didn't find anything to be very fragile.
4. Once the console is pulled loose, disconnet the electrical connector and remove the console.
5. Now you're looking at the engine cover. Two 15mm bolts attach the top to the firewall. Use a socket with a long extension. Bolts are captive and won't fall out.
6. Remove the two vertically mounted bolts (and black brackets labelled LH and RH) on the bottom front of the cover that attach it to the floor.
7. Mine has one wire that had to be disconnected from the cover. Cover's now free, pull it back and wrestle it out of the way.
There's your motor! Ironically, I figured i'd change the plugs as long as i had it off, but it sure didn't seem much easier to get to the plugs with the cover off.
Troutrvr32208: The shop that wanted to charge you $440.00 to change the plugs wires and cap should be charged with price gouging and borderline fraud. It would take an experienced mechanic two hours (max) to pull the dog house, remove front tires and replace the cap, wires and plugs, put the dog house back... and less than $50 in parts to do the job in an Astro van. I wouldn't pay more than $150.00.
You don't change the spark plugs by going through the engine housing but through the wheel well.
You need to remove but frontal wheels and lift up the mud flaps to see the exposed spark plug wiring.
Kudos to the individual who posted on how to take the cover off the Astro and to the next person who helped me avoid the spark plug removal.
I needed to remove the cover to fix the notorious a/c vacuum hose.
Both of you save me a considerable amount of time and money. it is because of folks like you that internet self-help is so successful.
dog house removal instructions are in your owner's manual
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You folks have been a big help..went to "Pep Boys" purchased hose and fitting and it worked great..total of 8 bucks...ac running great!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is the air filter on 2004 Chevy Trailblazer?
Not 100% sure about the 2004, but in the 2005 it is inside the square box just left of the engine. (air suply tube goes into the top of the engine). You need to unscrew the box to take it off.
gasket connecting 2 or more solid materials to form a vacuum and pressure seal. the term "blown" indicates a failure in either or both the vacuum (air intake)or pressure (coolant passages)
Where is the cabin air filter located on 2002 Mazda Tribute?
On the passenger side under the hood next to the fire wall (near the back of the glove box) under the cover plate and rain shield.
How do you replace a 2004 Toyota Highlander air filter?
This information can be found in your owner's manual. If you do not have one, then I suggest you get one. You need an owner's manual to know what items to service and when, and for specifications. You can order one from a dealer, find one at a salvage yard or even eBay
The air filter is mounted right behind the radiator and is secured by 4 clips. Just pop the 4 clips and remove the cover (bringing it forward). My highlander manual didn't have anything, but it's pretty obvious... The cover is about 15" wide and 6" tall. The replacement filter is "keyed" in that one corner is squared and the others are rounded, so you can only install it one way.
