Air Cleaner Housing: Description and Operation

Fig. 92 Air Cleaner and Mounting Bracket:

NOTE: This vehicle does not use a heated air inlet system. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) adjusts fuel injector pulse width and ignition timing to compensate for different ambient temperatures.

The air cleaner attaches to the a bracket on right inner fender panel (Fig. 92). An opening in the body panel connects the inlet duct to ambient air.

This air induction system uses plastic attaching clamps.
- Do not use a screwdriver to open the clamp. It will damage the clamp locking teeth.
- To remove the clamps use pliers to open the clamp tab.
- Use water pump pliers to tightening clamps. Tighten clamps until the rubber connecting tube of the air induction system starts to spread.

Fig. 93 Air Induction System:

This air induction system uses a resonator between the air cleaner and throttle body (Fig. 93). The make-up air hose for the PCV system attaches to the resonator.
