In this video we're going to be working with a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria with the 4.6 liter V8. We're going to show you how to remove and replace the upper portion of your air box and the intake tube all the way up to the throttle body. These boots and tubes are very prone to cracking and breaking causing vacuum leaks as well as leaks after your mass airflow sensor, which can cause check engine lights and misfires.

Here are the items you will need for this repair: flat blade screwdriver, ¼ inch ratchet, socket extension

Using an open drive on the end of quarter inch ratchet extension, loosen up this screw at the center of the engine cover. Lift it up slide forward and remove it from the vehicle. Disconnect the electrical connector on your mass airflow sensor. Release the two clips securing the air box lid down. Lift up and push down to the center of the vehicle to release it. Remove the two breather hoses up by the throttle body and using a flat blade screwdriver loosen and remove the intake boot clamp here at the throttle body. Wiggle that boot and remove from the vehicle.

Reinstall the intake boot onto your throttle body and tighten the clamp back down with a flat blade screwdriver, You can also use I believe an 8mm socket and ratchet on the hex of this clamp as well. Reconnect the IMF and the breather hoses. One is larger than the other, so they will only go in one way. Push the air box lid down and in until it seats fully back on its hooks. Push the lid down and snap both clamps back into place. Reconnect your mass airflow sensor. Reinstall your engine cover by sliding it back over the hooks in the front and placing it over the stud at the top. Reinstall the nut and tighten it down with quarter inch drive extension.
