REMOVAL

EXHAUST MANIFOLD - LEFT SIDE





1. Remove the oil fill cap (1).
2. Remove the engine cover (2).





3. Perform the fuel pressure release procedure Service and Repair.
4. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable (2).
5. Remove the air cleaner assembly Air Cleaner Body - Removal.





6. Disconnect the EVAP vacuum line (1) at the throttle body.
7. Disconnect the fuel supply line (2) at the fuel rail.
8. Disconnect the make up air hose (3) at the intake manifold.
9. Remove the serpentine belt Serpentine Accessory Drive Belt - Removal.

NOTE: It is not necessary to disconnect the refrigerant lines for A/C compressor removal.

10. Remove the A/C compressor from the engine block and position aside A/C Compressor - Removal.






CAUTION: When servicing or replacing exhaust system components, disconnect the oxygen sensor connector(s). Allowing the exhaust to hang by the oxygen sensor wires will damage the harness and/or sensor.

11. Disconnect the left upstream 02 sensor electrical connector (1).
12. Remove the exhaust manifold heat shield front retaining nuts.





13. Raise and support the vehicle.
14. If equipped, remove the skid plate (1) four retaining bolts (2) and remove the skid plate.
15. Disconnect the left exhaust pipe/catalytic converter Catalytic Converter - Removal.
16. Remove the exhaust manifold heat shield rear retaining nuts and remove the heat shield.





17. Remove the lower exhaust manifold retaining bolts.
18. Lower the vehicle.
19. Remove the upper exhaust manifold retaining bolts.

NOTE: The left exhaust manifold is removed from below the engine and out through the front of the engine compartment.

20. Raise and support the vehicle.
21. Remove the left exhaust manifold and gasket from below the engine and out through the front of the engine compartment.
22. Inspect the exhaust manifold for any damage Exhaust Manifold - Inspection.
23. Clean the mating surfaces.
