Intake R&R opportunity
I'll be removing the intake manifold for access to the bank 2 AIR check valve after the P1416 code. Decided to replace both check valves for good measure. While the intake is off are there any maintenance items or must do items? I am planning on new check valves, new oil pressure sensor, new gaskets, and cleaning throttle body and intake. Car has 55K miles and all stock.
Thanks for any help. -- Tom

That vacuum line is VERY SHORT. I lengthened mine and that made things a breeze to reinstall the manifold. I would clean the TB and wash out all the OIL that collects on the inside of the manifold!
Check the Knock sensor well for oil/water/crud and seal the plastic close out caps to prevent water intrusion.
