Exhaust Manifolds

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

1.2L Engine

NOTE: Do not attempt to remove the exhaust manifold when the engine is hot. Allow adequate time for the engine to cool before removing.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the bolts securing the heat shield to the exhaust manifold. Remove the heat shield.
3. Disconnect the O2sensor electrical harness.
4. If the manifold is being replaced, remove the O2sensor.
5. Remove the bolts securing the front exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold. Remove the gasket.
6. Remove the six exhaust manifold-to-cylinder head mounting bolts.
7. Remove the exhaust manifold.
8. Clean all gasket material from both mating surfaces.
9. Installation is the reverse of removal. Secure all components accordingly.
   • Install the exhaust manifold using new gaskets.
   • Tighen the manifold nuts to 14–22 ft. lbs. (20–29 Nm). Start tightening in the middle of the manifold and work toward the ends.
10. Using a new gasket attach the front exhaust pipe and tighten the bolts to 17–31 ft. lbs. (23–42 Nm).
11. Tighen the heat shield mounting bolts to 10–18 ft. lbs. (13–23 Nm).
12. Connect the negative battery cable.
13. Start the engine and check for exhaust leaks.

1.6L, 1.8L, 2.2L, 2.5L and 2.7L Engines

CAUTION
The exhaust pipe may be hot; DO NOT perform any work until the system has completely cooled.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the O2sensor electrical wiring.
3. Remove the front under cover.
4. Remove the bolts securing the exhaust manifold covers and remove the covers.
5. Remove the front pipe-to-center pipe mounting nuts.
6. Remove the nuts that secure the exhaust pipe to the cylinder head and remove the exhaust pipe.
7. Discard the gaskets.
8. Installation is the reverse of removal. Secure all components to specifications.
9. Clean all gasket surfaces completely.
10. Install the exhaust pipe to the cylinder head using new gaskets. Tighten the mounting nuts as follows:
    1. Turbocharged engines — 28–33 ft. lbs. (34–44 Nm).
    2. Non-turbocharged engines — 22–30 ft. lbs. (30–40 Nm).
11. Using new gaskets, connect the exhaust pipe to the center pipe. Tighten the mounting nuts as follows:
    1. Turbocharged engines — 19–26 ft. lbs. (25–35 Nm).
    2. Non-turbocharged engines — 9–17 ft. lbs. (13–23 Nm).
12. Start the engine and check for exhaust leaks.

3.3L Engine

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the O2sensor electrical harness.
3. Remove the front undercover, if equipped.
4. Remove the bolts securing the exhaust manifold covers and remove.
5. Remove the front pipe-to-exhaust manifold mounting nuts.
6. Disconnect the EGR pipe from the exhaust manifold, only if the right side manifold is being removed.
7. Remove the exhaust manifold mounting nuts, then remove the exhaust manifold.
8. Clean all gasket material from both mating surfaces.

   To install:

9. Install the exhaust manifold using new gaskets. Install the mounting nuts and tighten the nuts to 25–33 ft. lbs. (32–43 Nm).
10. Connect the EGR pipe to the right manifold, if disconnected.
11. Connect the exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold and tighten the mounting nuts to 22–29 ft. lbs. (29–38 Nm).
12. Install the exhaust manifold covers and cover mounting bolts. Tighten the bolts to 13–15 ft. lbs. (17–19 Nm).
