Air Induction System

Air Induction System


The air induction system functions as follows:

- Provides clean air to the throttle body.
- Outside air enters from the air cleaner intake resonator through an opening in the front fender and then moves into the engine air cleaner (ACL).
- Once in the engine air cleaner, air is filtered through the air cleaner element (ACL element).
- This filtered air then travels through the mass air flow sensor (MAF sensor) to the air cleaner outlet tube, engine air intake resonators (if equipped) and into the throttle body.

The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is supplied clean air from:

- Fittings on the air cleaner outlet tube or engine air cleaner, depending upon application.

Air induction noise is effectively eliminated by means of the following:

- The air cleaner intake resonator.
- A sealed and tuned resonance chamber created by the engine air cleaner.
- Two engine air intake resonators, which are located between the engine air cleaner and the throttle body (2.0L engine equipped vehicles only).
