I've been searching all over in threads and the garage but I can't seem to find a diy or instructions on replacing the intake manifold gasket. Does anyone know if there's one floating around here? I can't imagine it being too difficult, but just hoping I would come across one before I started on replacing my gasket. Thanks in advance!

 

You're talking about the intake manifold cover---the piece with the Acura name & logo on it?

If so, here you go:

 

The intake manifold, what's under the cover.

 

Sorry, just saw the picture you posted (was on my phone before). Thanks, exactly what I'm looking for. I assume gasket would go right under? Just bought the p2r gasket and should be installing this weekend. You don't happen to have a larger version of that picture, do you? Thanks again.

 

I think this is a bit larger. Couple extra pages also.

 

nice bearcat!

 

Thanks, Bearcat!

 

Thanks!

 

It seems you can leave the TB on, just disconnect the hoses running to it?

 

Looks like it - I can't see why not.

If you remove the TB, you'll probably need to replace that gasket.

 

Well this turned into a nightmare...Saturday I replaced my brakes and intake gasket...all went smoothly until I was plugging in the last plus (throttle body connector) hen one of the wires just popped out of the plug. Tried to solder it back in but nothing to grab onto. Now my car doesn't idle correctly and I can barely drive it. Acura told me they don't just sell that plug and they would have to replace the whole engine harness. WTF...for one plug? Who ever had the car before me tried to solder it back in also and that's why it was so loose I guess.

 

Seemed like the only option was to source an engine harness or be stuck buying one from Acura. No salvage yard had a TL with harness, and if they did, they weren't willing to part with just the harness. Ended up finding an 07 accord harness with the same throttle body connectors as our car for $175 from a local yard. Clipped off the connector I needed, spliced it in, car runs perfect now.

 

Nice, glad you solved your problem!
