Air Filters and Intake Manifolds

Neglect to replace the supercharger oil.

It's under the flat-looking large plastic cowling on the left side when looking from the front.

Not always. You haven't said what kind of 350 you're talking about. Is it an LT1? Is it a Vortec? Is it an LS1? If you said yes to any of those then the answer is likely "NO" for LT1 and definitely "NO" for the others.

Cabin air filters are typically found in the glove box, under the glove box in the dash or in a filter box connected somewhere along the vehicle's "firewall".

The interior air condition filter also know as pollen filter on a 1995 Integra is located in the cabin of the vehicle. Remove the glovebox and the filter is directly behind it. Pull and replace the filter.

The map sensor is on the air intake line to the throttle body....

My best guess is no. A telephone survey of Toyota dealer service departments in my town came up with 2 "yes", 1 "no "and 1 "you will have to bring it in so I can see it." I removed the glove box and lower dash panel and don't see any indication of one The AC air filter is commonally called a cabin filter

Sure can. This is very dangerous so have it inspected.

I'm just finishing this same job on my 1997 Pontiac GrandAm. First of all, this is a known design weakness on these aluminum 60 degree "V" engines.....let me guess, it leaked coolant either to the outside of the engine, or more likely, into the engine where it turned the oil into a chocolate-colored froth.

Secondly, this job is non-trivial....takes a lot of tools, and a bit of know-how.....and you can get into big trouble with crossed, or stripped threads.....I say this because of the manner of the question leads me to believe that you've not done major engine work before...this is not a first-time job.

The general answer to your general question is that you remove the accesories (alternator and power steering pump, vacuum lines, ignition components, throttle linkage, cruise control linkage, MAP sensor, EGR stuff, etc.) and unbolt the intake manifold (upper and lower) sections, remove the old gaskets, clean everything up and reassemble with new gaskets. You need a torque wrench in the inch-pound range for the manifold bolts. Get a manual, and have someone there who is familiar with major engine work, or don't try it.

Best of luck to you

Cabin (Air-Conditioning) air filter installation for '07 Infiniti M35. The instructions I received with the replacement filter were not very useful. After searching the web and piecing together other people's input, I was able to complete the task, but it was still a learning experience. First, you need to remove the glove box: Open the glove box. There are three hinge points at the bottom of the box (left, center and right). There are "tabs" on the box that slide into these "holders". Gently pull up and out on the left side of the glove box. The tab should pop out. Repeat for the center point. This should allow the left side stop pin to clear the dash slot. Repeat for the right side. You should now be able to turn the box, pull it from the dash and let it hang from the retaining cord on the right side. Note the hinge slots and tabs for reference for re-installation later. Second, remove the black access door behind the glove box: This is an "L" shaped cover with three hinge points at the bottom and three tabs at the top. Gently push back on the tabs at the top to un-lock, rotate down on the hinge points and pull out. Behind this you will see a white plastic door which covers and holds the filter in place. Third, remove white access door as follows or you will break the retaining tabs off! On the right side is a locking tab, gently press in and pull the right side of the tab toward you to unlock the tab BUT STOP AS SOON AS THE TAB UNLOCKS THE DOOR AND OPENS ABOUT ½ " or the tabs on the left side will break off, they are not hinged! Next, slide the door to the right to clear the tabs on the left side and remove. Note the position and orientation of the filter inside. Remove the old filter. Fourth, install the new filter: Make sure the orientation and air flow direction are as marked and match previous filter. Mine was pointing "up", with the rigid side plate facing out. The new filter will be sitting on top of the fan, when the white door is re-installed, it has "fingers" that lift the filter into the proper location, but you may find it easier to lift the filter up with one hand and slide the door back into position with the other hand. That said, lift the filter, slide the tabs on the left side of the door back into there slots. Push the door back into original position and latch the right side locking tab. Make sure the door is sealed and back to original position and latch tab on the right is locked. Now, reverse the previous steps to complete the task. Re-install the black access door cover. Lift up the glove box and turn to install right side stop pin into dash slot position, rotate left side into position and center box in dash opening. You will have to move the box up/down, in/out a bit to "feel" the hinge tabs properly engage the hinge slots. Once the tabs are in the slots you can push down on each side and it will pop back in place. (If you have difficulty, you may want to remove the under dash cover below the glove box. There are three tabs in the front that slide into three slots and one tab and slot in the rear. This can be removed by pulling down on the front of the panel at each side and the middle, then slide it forward out of the rear slot. Disconnect the light if required by pushing the latch on the plug and pulling it off. Feel around the hinge locations to guide the parts together). Check operation of the glove box door. Done.

a cold air intake (true one that routes down in the bumper and actually sucks cold outside air) which has an aluminum pipe will give your car a throatier tone and yes will be a little louder but not too loud

Not necessarily. Check the rocker gasket.

it's behind the glove box in a slot by the blower motor. Not the easiest to get to.

Intake manifold or exhaust? The complete job (parts and labor) is between $700-$900. depending on labor rates.

IT IS LOCATED UNDER THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE KICK PLATE THERE ARE (2) TORQUE SCREWS 25 TOR ON EACH WHEN YOU REMOVE THE KICK PLATE THERE IS A BLACK PLATE WITH (4) TORQUE SCREWS 25 TOR HOLDING THE CABIN AIR FILTER HOUSING. THE BACK TORQUE SCREWS CAN BE A LITTLE HARD TO GET TO...

Replace gasket

why does gasket keep sliding

It would be best if you got the Chilton's manual for your car. This is a fairly complicated task on the 3.1. Not at all impossible, but you have to mess with a lot of things. You'll need to take off the throttle body. Remove the alternator and power steering pump, unbolt the upper plenum. Remove the fuel lines, fuel rail and injectors. Remove valve covers and loosen rocker arms. The push rods go through the gasket and will need to be removed to R & R the lower intake gasket. Keep the push rods in order as they are different lengths for intake and exhaust. Remove lower intake manifold bolts. Reverse the procedure to install.

Yes they do at the intake manifold gaskets.
