How To Remove Intake Manifold + Gasket Replacement on 99-04 3.8L Ford Mustang

This intake removal and gasket replacement was fairly easy. After I took the old gasket off I cleaned all the surfaces to make sure it had a good seal and it did. I forgot to mention that you will also need to remove to coil pack as well. Technically you do not have to take the spark plug wires off. If you do remember their place on the coil pack. All in all the job took less then 45 minutes but was drawn out due to me painting the intake and doing much needed cleaning.
May The Lord Jesus Bless You All!!!

Your the only person I've found that is showing how to do anything on a 2000. Hope to see more. Thanks

[@naratouzumaki]

Buy a repair manual man theres barely any videos on the 3.8s

[@SendCleaIWillGo]

Hey Good evening Thank you for the Bible verse. I did paused the video to read it. Thanks for info on the car as well. God Bless you!

[@brentburkholderjr8129]

I have a bad tap and its definitely coming from the very top right at this intake manny. I already took right side valve cover off, inspected things. Nothing seemed out of place. Thought it may be a stuck lifter, but now im super puzzled. I will be taking this off next. Many thanks for making this video.

[@duhmitryov]

This is a really good video. Good looking out bro! made this actually understandable 🙏

[@carolynekeeler]

Thank you for your help and channel. I respect your desire to spread good will and to do good. As a fellow Christian, I appreciate that even more (though I must admit I was worried your cross necklace was going to get caught in the engine at first :)

[@J3RKBUNNY]

I’ve been looking for months on how to do this thank youuu

[@J3RKBUNNY]

Is there gonna be an upload of you taking everything off step by chance

[@J3RKBUNNY]

I’m needing to replace my intake runner control bushings as well

[@TylerCreates]

The IMRC with the bushings was not installed on the v6 mustangs until 2001, My car is a 2000.

[@J3RKBUNNY]

Tyler Creates gotcha ty for replying

[@Brysonandmason320]

The moment i seen the cross i knew you were another brother in Christ its so refreshing to see more of gods people out there in the world its like a fresh breath of air

[@TylerCreates]

Super cool to see a comment like this! I am so happy you noticed the cross!

[@hotwheels.history9992]

Amazingly shown! Hopefully I can get at my valves now

[@ABC-td4rg]

Thanks for the information... It looked like there was a good deal of oil in your plenum... Have you considered an aftermarket catch can inline with the PCV valve(s)? I am doing valve cover gaskets so the upper and lower intake manifolds will get done at same time just because they are exposed with everything already pulled off.

[@miggs_productions164]

Love the Bible verses ofc I’m going to subscribe

[@jasonanderson4915]

Just referencing your video while doing my 97 3.8 intake mani. Pretty similar. Thanks!

[@liberatogarced3794]

Thank you man for taking your time and showing us all these things thanks again

[@APSE-si7by]

Literally saved my ass I appreciate you man.

[@domingomercado8340]

Helpful, thanks, God bless.

[@zacherytalamantes4198]

The video was extremely helpful. I believe I'm have a fuel injector problem on my 2004 ford mustang, their located under the manifold and just looking at it to take it off look intimidating as hell cuz I don't want to mess it up more lol. I'm self teaching myself on how to repair and fix car problems. But thanks for this video!

[@johnlala3204]

Great video. Very professional.

[@jasonwilson9745]

Extreamly helpful thanks

[@TrippyWoodStock]

I’ve replaced these twice already when I put a crate 3.8 in and found out my lower intake manifold was warped from heat (just passing this info on to the next guy) they also sell plenum gaskets and manifold gaskets.. I’m assuming you use one or the other bc literally every single 3.8 I’ve torn apart doesn’t have the plenum gaskets but the manifold gaskets instead? so I assume the upper and lower manifold gaskets are all that is needed.

[@GaryMaxwell-q6o]

Good job

[@angeltrejo9547]

Did you use any RTV or any kind of sealant?

[@Tht.slwv6]

How do I take off the throttle cable?

[@mikegreenwald8128]

Do you have to tighten the bolts back on at a specific torque

[@TylerCreates]

Yes and it looks like you want 8 Foot Pounds, they can break easy so be careful. Internet says online you will tighten from the inside bolts out.

[@TheMeanestGuy]

are they torque to yeild bolts or are they reusable

[@TylerCreates]

Are you referring to the head bolts? If so I am not sure, I looked them up and a new set is pretty cheap.

[@ROBDAT910]

Was your gasket bad or you just replaced to update

[@TylerCreates]

I just replaced mine to make a video and paint my intake.

[@Camille-d8b]

So it doesn’t have to be replaced

[@El-vw7pt]

Rich spirit

[@IRONMAIDENISTRASH]

Would you be able to replace the imrc clips with the intake manifold off

[@TylerCreates]

Yes I do believe so, I have seen that most of the videos of people replacing them have the upper intake taken off.

[@francisconavarro956Tx]

Excuse me sir do you think I need to remove the intake to replace the HVAC Heater Pipe.. it's cracked under the bleeder valve..

[@DavidODST]

Did you find out?

[@Seriouslydave]

P1518 thanks.

[@gabrielromaguera494]

what's that red hose that comes out from the front right side of the intake manifold

[@TylerCreates]

The red hose on the right side that has the plastic over it is runs to the EGR Vacuum Control Solenoid. The solenoid has two of them one going to the EGR and one to the right side of the manifold. I think the EGR hose might be green.

[@gabrielromaguera494]

@@TylerCreates Thank you

[@TylerCreates]

@@gabrielromaguera494 No Problem!

[@Ron.g37-m9h]

My 2002 mustang is over heading ik its a gasket but idk which one makes it leaks and where it is located

[@TylerCreates]

Well it depends, an overheating vehicle can be many thing and if it was head gaskets which are located in between the top of the engine block and the cylinder head you would have symptoms like white smoke out the exhaust that smells like burnt antifreeze, using up antifreeze, possibly oil in your coolant making it brown not clear/green. Why do you think it's a gasket?

[@Ron.g37-m9h]

Its leaking in between my i take manifold and the bottom of it

[@TylerCreates]

Is it leaking coolant (green water)?

[@Ron.g37-m9h]

@@TylerCreates yes

[@TylerCreates]

@@Ron.g37-m9h Ok, there are two parts to the air intake on a v6, the upper and lower manfiolds also called plenums. The upper part is dry, no coolant but the lower has coolant Depending on the area your leak is coming from the job can be easy or hard. If it's coming from the very front where there is a angled adapter to the rubber hose feeding your radiator that's an easy fix. Also replace your thermostat while your in there and make sure it goes in facing the right direction. That gasket is called your thermostat housing gasket.

[@fiend6051]

do i need to remove the manifold to test the injectors with an ohm reader?

[@TylerCreates]

I am not sure, if you are not able to reach the injectors with your Ohm reader then you will probably have to remove the manifold.
