Home and Auto Question about Intake Manifold Arm - Page 2

CaliforniaChief · 11-21-2019, 10:40 AM

2013 Chevy Cruze 1.4 Eco.

Check engine light on for intake manifold...the arm, or linkage, keeps coming loose at the bottom even after I pop it back in.

Can I use electrical tape to secure it or do I need to replace the whole thing? I'm struggling to find just the arm to replace. If I did, how hard would that be to do?

Which specific sensor are you talking about. It sounds like you might be referring to the MAP position sensor, but want to verify. There are temp sensors and such on the manifold as well.

Visuals help a lot, if you can snap a quick pic.

EDIT: If Sauto's here, and you are getting a pic, you're probably on your way.

I tried to get a pic but it's so far down there that it was hard to get a good look.

I popped it back in on Thursday and right now the Check Engine light is off and the part is still connected. My mechanic gave me some silicone tape to wrap it, but it feels pretty firm for now. Hopefully it holds through my daughter's driving test.

But yeah, Sauto...that link you posted is EXACTLY what's going on with mine. Thank you.

Sauto is the automobile whisperer around here just a wealth of knowledge.
