SERVICE PROCEDURE Use this illustration for reference while performing the Service Procedure. Items # 1 and # 8 will be replaced. CAUTION: Do not use any lubricant when removing or installing the air ducts and resonators. Lubricant may adversely affect the ducts and resonators. 1. Disconnect the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose from resonator 1. 2. Loosen the clamps shown in Figure 1 (clamps at both ends of the air duct assembly). 3. Remove the air duct assembly from the vehicle and set it on a clean working surface. 4. After removing the air duct assembly, cover the openings to the electronic control throttle and airflow meter with clean cloth / rags. CAUTION: • Make sure to cover the openings to the electronic control throttle and airflow meter. • Covering the openings will prevent debris entry. 5. Loosen both wire clamps shown in Figure 2 (clamps on both sides of resonator 1).

6. Replace the wire clamp on air duct B. a. Pull air duct B away from resonator 1 just enough to remove the old wire clamp and install a new one. • Bend the old wire clamp so it cannot be reused. b. Reconnect air duct B to resonator 1. CAUTION: Before installing air duct B, use a clean cloth / rag to wipe away any debris from the duct and resonator. • Make sure to align the resonator protrusion with the air duct cut out. 7. Disconnect / remove air duct A from resonator 1. Air duct B Wire clamp 8. Swap the band clamp from the old air duct A to the new air duct A. • Use the original band clamp. • Band clamp goes on the throttle body end of air duct A. • Make sure the clamp is aligned correctly (rubber stud through hole in clamp as shown). 9. Discard the old air duct A and the old wire clamp. • Cut the old air duct A in half and bend the wire clamp so they cannot be reused. 10. Put the new wire clamp on the resonator end of the new air duct A. CAUTION: Before installing air duct A, use a clean cloth / rag to wipe away any debris from the duct and resonator. 11. Connect the new air duct A to resonator 1. • Make sure the slot (cut-out) in the duct is aligned with the largest protrusion on the resonator. NOTE: There are 4 protrusions on the resonator, use the largest one to align the air duct. 12. Position and tighten both wire clamps (air duct A and air duct B). a. Position each wire clamp near the protrusion / cut out (see Figure 6). b. Tighten the clamps to: 2.2 – 3.0 N-m (0.22 – 0.30 kg-m, 20 – 26 in-lb).
