NOTE: To properly inspect the intake manifold you must look down
behind the alternator.
Inspect the coolant crossover area of the intake
manifold as shown in Figure 1 for engine coolant seepage.
- If seepage IS present, the intake manifold MUST be replaced. Refer to the appropriate Workshop Manual section 03-01 for 1996 through 1998 model year vehicles and section 303-01 for 1999 through 2001 model year vehicles for replacement procedures for intake manifold.
- If seepage is NOT present, no service action is required.
