No.
Chevrolet is by itself. Other GM makes can be interchanged with each other, but not Chevy.
I bet you have a 4.6 L engine. If so, then check where the thermostat housing is, there is a plastic cross over to the other side of the intake. The intake cracks right there. Loss of coolant will cause overheating, plus if you look behind the alt. or remove it and start the engine, you will see where it is leaking, that`s if it is leaking to the outside. Most times it does. Ford has a problem with these intakes. They have modified the new part, now a cast cross over. If that is not the problem, then with a blown head gasket you will have white smoke out the exhaust all the time, and the coolant level will of course go down. If it is the intake gasket, then you will have coolant in the oil, easy to see when you check the oil, creamy brownish colour and of course you will lose coolant and it will overheat also. Most likely since you said `white smoke water coming out around front of intake ` Ford wants anywhere from $ 500. to $ 700.00 just for the intake. It`s a 5 to 8 hour job for yourself. At Ford, $$$$$ 1,500. big bucks. Good luck.
Yes, the 1989 Ranger does have a PCV valve. I can speak for the 2.3 liter 4-cylinder version only. If you stand on the driver side of the engine compartment you will see the intake manifold (silver cast looking with the name FORD on it), on the bottom of the intake there is a 90 degree elbow (the intake forms a "Y" and if you look through the "Y" you can see the elbow) that points back toward the firewall. Connected to this is a rubber hose that routes back toward the firewall and then turns down at the firewall-side of the intake. If you follow this hose along you will come to the PCV valve. The valve is installed in the hose and connects to another rubber hose on the other side of the PCV valve. Hope this helps.
It is toward the rear of the driver's side valve cover. If you notice that the intake plenum kind of hangs over the valve cover a lttle bit. the PCV is at the end of a short vacuum line, under the edge of that overhang, toward the rear.
There are two coils on the 2.5 one fires on intake and one fires on exhaust stroke. the easy way to figure this out is look at the plug wires one set leads under the exhaust manifold thus the exhaust and the other leads to the passenger side of motor the intake. There is a plug on each of these and it really won't make much difference which plug you hook up to because they fire very close but I would hook it up to the intake. three wires the grey and light orange wire is the wire you should hook it up to.
The intake manifold is where the air and fuel mix and enter the engine. The exhaust manifold is where unspent gas and air exit the engine. In other words the intake manifold is where the engine breathes in and the exhaust manifold is how the engine exhales out.
Location of the starters on this engine is somewhat unusual. It is located under the air intake manifold, between the two cylinder heads. It sits in the "V-shape" of the top of the block. Air intake manifold, fuel manifold, and other lines will need to be removed in order to gain access to the starter.
the starter is located inside the intake manifold which is under the top cover that says northstar in other words itis inside the motor The starter is under the intake manifold>
first of all its ... PCV. Positive Crankcase Ventallation. It is a located between two hoses on the intake manifold. It runs from the top of the valve covers to the back of the intake and then to the other side.
I had the same question when I put a head gasket on my 89 LX. The head has to come off in order to remove the intake manifold. There is no other way around this.
uh there's a manifold on the front of the motor that's your turbo manifold and the turbo's connected to that it's the easiest part to spot other than the motor and intake your intake goes into it
In the same place as it is on every other V6 engine built in the world!!! On top of the engine, between the heads, under the throttle body.
It should take about an hour to change the intake manifold gasket. This part can be replaced by taking off the intake manifold cover, cleaning the old gasket off and sealing a new gasket in the space and tightening the bolts. When other things are in the way, like the alternator, it will take longer.
There is 2 knock sensors on that engine and both of them are underneith the intake manifold. You MUST remove the intake to get to them, no other way.
There is 2 of them on that engine. And they both are underneith the intake manifold. You will have to remove the intake to even see are get to them. NO OTHER WAY.
That engine has 2 knock sensors in it and they are UNDERNEITH the intake manifold. You MUST remove the intake to service them. NO OTHER WAY.
Intake manifold leaks will cause the engine to idle rough and get poor fuel economy. An exhaust manifold will have no symptoms other than the sound of the leak.
