How To Replace Intake Manifold Chevrolet Cruze [1.8L 1st Gen 2011-2016]

🔴 In this video I will show you the procedure to change out your intake manifold on your 1st Generation Chevrolet Cruze. If you have a bad intake manifold tuning valve, they you have to change the entire intake manifold since they do not sell that part separately. If you also have a cracked intake manifold then you have to replace the entire unit. I'm replacing the intake with an OEM GM intake that comes with new fuel rail, fuel injectors, purge valve, map sensor and intake manifold tuning valve.

Thank you!! I appreciate you making this video. Followed it step by step and everything works great. Thanks!

You're welcome!

@@OneTrickTech Can that nipple on the right side of the intake be replaced by its self? The one that that vacuum hose connects to for the break boost

Well done bud 👍

Awesome video ill attempt to replace my intake tomorrow . I'll let you know how it goes

[@OneTrickTech]

good luck!

@@OneTrickTech hey can i damage my car with my intake not working properly the control arm thing disconnected but i found its not moving properly ?

[@OneTrickTech]

@@pur3mind683 is that on your old intake? Im guessing you're talking about the intake tuning valve lever being disconnected. That wont damage your car but might throw a check engine light.

[@pur3mind683]

@@OneTrickTech yes sir thats it , the valve its not moving though

[@OneTrickTech]

@@pur3mind683 so the arm will move under certain conditions. The engine computer is responsible to command it on and off. You can command it on and off by yourself if you have a high end scanner. If the arm is broken on your intake manifold, you could just replace the arm itself. they do sell it separately. here's a pictures. www.amazon.com/Intake-Manifold-55570283-2011-2018-Chevrolet/dp/B088ND7ZR3/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1RG409BXU1HLT&dchild=1&keywords=intake+tuning+valve+lever&qid=1627617251&sprefix=intake+tuning+%2Caps%2C194&sr=8-3

Will this video fix the p2070 code

[@chrisvanek4754]

Thank you for your video! I did this today. It started but idles rough. Any suggestions on what to look for on what would cause this? Just hoping to keep it running but also realistic that it might be time to let it go.

[@OneTrickTech]

Tough to say. Will need to look at scanner data to see what's wrong. If there's a flashing check engine light because of a misfire, could be ignition coil and spark plugs. You could have a clogged cat converter, bad oxygen sensor. Also make sure you connected all connectors.

[@chrisvanek4754]

@@OneTrickTech I truly appreciate the reply. Its misfiring. Flashing check engine light right away. All started with a P2076 code. The replaced intake linkage didn’t fix it. Car would run a few days and one day die 4x. I borrowed a OBD2 to test today. Love your videos.

[@chrisvanek4754]

Well. It started just fine this morning. Go figure. Codes I get now are P0031 and P0037 for both O2 sensors. It still hesitated a little after driving for a bit so maybe those are the causes of that. Your fix looks to have done the job for the P2076 so thank you! and on to the sensors 😳🙂

[@OneTrickTech]

Glad to hear that. I think you can fix the performance issue just by replacing the first o2 sensor that's bad. Second one is only to monitor catalytic converter performance.

[@stillboutit]

Can you come up with a video on how to replace the knock sensor?

[@OneTrickTech]

I already replaced the knock sensor on this car. If you're looking to replace it on your car, the procedure is very similar to this video but you don't have to remove the fuel rail or the throttle body. Just remove all the bolts holding the intake manifold and it will give you enough space to move it backwards and get to the sensor which in directly below the intake manifold. It's a E14 or E12 bolt holding it then just disconnect the sensor. Hope that helps!

[@stephenmuckenfuss5615]

Can that nipple for that break boost vacuum line only be replaced?

[@OneTrickTech]

most likely not, its part of the intake manifold assembly

[@doncasillas2609]

Where is the PCV non-return valve located? Can it be tested?

[@OneTrickTech]

its on the valve cover. It cant be tested because there is no solenoid or anything. Its vacuum controlled

[@jorgebarrera2828]

Is it supposed to suck air behind the rectangular hole behind the intake, near the pvc.

[@OneTrickTech]

you mean in the tuning valve?

[@jorgebarrera2828]

@@OneTrickTechidk the part but it’s behind the intake. There’s an opening. If you check near the intake by the manifold mine is sucking in air idk why

[@realcharlebois8719]

can a cracked intake or bad tunning valve cause a cold start rattle? or rough idle without causing the engine light to come on?

[@OneTrickTech]

yes especially the rattle, it tends to disappear as the intake manifold warms up

[@realcharlebois8719]

@@OneTrickTech that's exactly what it does, it used to have a Cam phaser rattle, but theve both been replaced along with the valve cover. Now its a whole different rattle, cold start only and goes completely away when the engine is warm.

[@OneTrickTech]

Hard to call, its a ~600$ part. You will need to isolate the noise to see exactly where is coming from. Try listening with a stethoscope kit like this one (Lisle 52750 Stethoscope Kit). It will help a lot to isolate the noise.

[@afiqariff10]

will it sound like tapping noise? cause i already adjust my lifter but still have tapping noise at cold start. it almost dissapeared after the engine warm up

[@JustaVegasBaby]

I forgot to take the fuse out for the fuel will I be good?

[@OneTrickTech]

get lots of rags ready because the fuel will spray a lot when taking off the fuel line

[@JustaVegasBaby]

I’m still working on it, is it still too late to remove it? I think I’m just going to continue in the morning

[@JustaVegasBaby]

Also thank you so much for your response 🙌🏻

[@AirFriedCPU]

FUCK I snapped the nipple that the brake booster hose goes onto do I have to replace the whole intake manifold assembly?

[@OneTrickTech]

if you can still put the hose back on then put it on with a worm gear clamp. If no, try to glue the broken piece and put a clamp afterwards.

[@AirFriedCPU]

@@OneTrickTech I have it glued on right now I’m scared to even touch it before I purchase my new manifold because I don’t want it to come apart

[@andyuscum]

the bolt from the bottom..how do you access it ?

[@OneTrickTech]

you have to go underneath the car, with a long extension.

[@andyuscum]

@@OneTrickTech ok thanks gonna tackle this soon

[@LyncolnYo]

Did you need a empty gas tank for this repair?

[@OneTrickTech]

@LyncolnYo nope

[@Nk155]

Can a cracked manifold make a knocking noise?

[@OneTrickTech]

Not really. A cracked manifold can cause engine performance issues and misfires.

[@MasQueAutosRD]

​@@OneTrickTech One more question, can a crack manifold generate code P0442 Small leak detected?

[@OneTrickTech]

@@MasQueAutosRD No. That's an evap related code. You will need to smoke test the evap system to find the leak. There is a purge valve on the intake manifold which can cause that code.

[@MasQueAutosRD]

@@OneTrickTech ok, thanks. I replaced the gas cap and purge valve. Still getting same code and symptoms...

[@OneTrickTech]

@@MasQueAutosRD yea like I said, you will need to smoke test it to isolate the leak. You will probably need to go to a shop for that. If there's no drivability issues then it wont be so urgent to fix.

[@JA-bc6sm]

Did you empty the coolant prior to this video?

[@OneTrickTech]

No. Didnt need to.

[@JA-bc6sm]

Thanks starting the job now because of this video.
