Open main fuse box and remove fuses 4 and 11 (up to mid 99) or fuse 6 for late 99 and newer vehicles. The main fuse box is located beside the battery. This will reset the computer so that it will learn the new parameters after the installation is completed.

Unplug the MAF and the air temperature sensor electrical connectors as shown in Figure 1 (1998 Vehicle shown). Remove the IAT from the intake tube, if so equipped (Figure 1).

NOTE: The IAT is a screw in type 97 and older vehicles.

FIGURE 1

Remove the resonator and stock intake tube as shown in Figure 2.

If you have not already done so, remove the IAT from the intake tube, if so equipped (Figure 2.1). For pre 98 vehicles, unscrew the IAT from the intake tube. Using a pair of vice grips (locking pliers), remove the intake resonator hold down studs. These may be very tight and penetrating lubricant may need to be sprayed to assist in loosening the studs.

Remove fender boot as shown in Figure 3. You may choose to remove the remaining plastic fender inlet assembly.

FIGURE 3

All model year vehicles: Do not remove crankcase breather hose. Disconnect the end of the hose that was attached to the stock intake tube. (Figure 4)

FIGURE 4

Remove MAF from the stock air box by releasing holding clamps, if so equipped. (Figure 5)

FIGURE 5

Install the supplied aluminum bracket near the driver's side fender. The MAF will fasten to one of the upper 2 holes using the fasteners provided in the kit. (Figure 6)

REVISION: Bend the supplied bracket to allow attachment of the hoop of the bracket to either the filter gear clamp (Figure 6A and 6B) or the MAF gear clamp (shown in Figure 8). Bottom of support bracket must still connect to position shown in Figure 6.

FIGURE 6B

Install throttle body elbow and coupling assembly using the supplied clamps. Please note the angle of the elbow. If not installed in this manner, the elbow may touch the hood. (Figure 7)

FIGURE 7

Install supplied air filter to the inlet side of the MAF. Please note the orientation of the MAF as it has a specific inlet and outlet. The filter may require some stretching to fit over the MAF. Please note that this

may be a bit difficult but will fit as shown in Figure 8.

FIGURE 8

98 to 99 vehicles:  NOTE: Using a file, remove the rib that circles the sensor, as shown in Figure 9. This will allow the IAT to be pushed all the way into the intake pipe.  Insert the IAT in the intake tube, if so equipped. Apply a touch of grease to assist the IAT to slip into the intake grommet (Figure 9.1). Please note the proper positioning of the IAT as shown in Figure 9.

Pre 98 vehicles (Not shown):  Carefully, using the correct size wrench, thread the IAT into the hole provided. View from inside the intake tube, that there is no gaps and that the orientation of the IAT is correct. The sensing tip should be in the air stream with the plastic supports in the vertical position.

FIGURE 9.1

Assemble the remaining portion of the intake kit.

1. Attach a coupling to the throttle body elbow then insert the main intake tube. Secure using the supplied clamps but do not completely tighten.

2. Attach the remaining coupling and then the MAF using the supplied clamps.

3. Attach the MAF to the previously installed MAF support bracket. The support bracket may need to be slightly bent to accommodate the fitment in your vehicle. Snug all connections. Do not tighten completely until proper fitment has been established.

4. All model year vehicles: Insert the silicone hose, provided with the kit, into the existing hose that was removed from the stock intake tube (Figure 4). Then cut hose to length, and insert other end onto the port on the new intake tube (Figure 10.1). Please use the zip ties provided, if necessary, to secure the ends of the new hose.

5. Once proper fitment has been established, secure and tighten all clamps and fasteners. Do not over tighten clamps as this may tear the intake couplings.

FIGURE 10

FIGURE 10.1

NOTE: As mentioned previously, for 98 to 99 vehicles, use a file to remove the rib that circles the sensor (Figure 11). This will allow the IAT to be pushed all the way into the intake pipe.

Reinstall IAT and MAF electrical connectors.
