Intake Manifolds

No matter which model Jeep, FIAT, Chrysler, Dodge, or RAM you drive, it relies on the intake manifold to send air to the intake ports in the engine's cylinder heads. If the heads didn't get air evenly between them, your engine's performance would suffer -- and your drives would become nearly unbearable.

How Mopar® Intake Manifolds Work

On newer models that feature fuel injection, the fuel injectors spray droplets of gas into the manifold where they mix with the air to form the basis of combustion. Older models, however, rely on carburetors to provide the fuel.

What Mopar® Intake Manifolds Are Made Of

Historically, intake manifolds have been constructed of durable aluminum or cast iron. However, Chrysler has been at the forefront of manufacturers using composite plastics, specifically with their four-cylinder engines. What's most important, frankly, is that the manifold be able to withstand the heat and pressure that come with combustion engines.

How to Spot Mopar® Intake Manifold Issues

As your vehicle ages, the chances of intake manifold troubles increase. A tuning flap can suddenly break, with most instances happening after 128,000 kilometers or so. Signs include loss of engine power, rough idles, or the all-encompassing "Check Engine" light coming on.

While intake manifold repair kits are offered online, they're not your best option. Either replace the intake manifold yourself with a newer one, or take your ride to your trusted Mopar-certified mechanic and let them take care of it for you. That way you're sure to get the right parts for your model, guaranteed.
