How Do You Replace The Intake Manifold Gasket On A Saturn?
The intake manifold gasket on your Saturn is a malleable material set in between the air intake manifold, the cylinder head and the engine block. The intake manifold gasket prevents air and fuel from leaking by sealing the gap between the cylinder head and the engine block. If your intake manifold is leaking, the car will experience a decrease in gas mileage and poor engine performance if the intake manifold gasket is leaking. Remove the air cleaner assembly. Remove the bolts holding the Saturn’s air cleaner in place, and remove the hose clamp screws holding the intake tubing to the throttle body. Pull the air cleaner assembly off the throttle body. Disconnect the cable running to the negative battery terminal. Loosen the cable clamp nut and slide the cable off the negative terminal. Label and disconnect all wires and hoses connected to the intake manifold with masking tape and a permanent marker. Note each wire and plug’s location on the manifold. Remove the bracket to manifold bolts.
