Cleaning and/or replacing the engine air filter is crucial for good engine efficiency, so it should be done more frequently than the maintenance schedule suggests. In some cases, it may also be necessary to clean the intake manifold or, as shown in the video, replace it. Once the old manifold is removed, compare it with the new one to check for any components that need to be transferred from the old to the new. After completing this, proceed with the installation in the vehicle, connecting the various hoses, sensor connectors, and throttle body.
