This part basically creates a secure, airtight home for several important things – your intake manifold gaskets, throttle body, and sometimes sensors. It’s the structure that everything mounts to and is designed to withstand heat and pressure from the engine running. It supports the entire intake system, ensuring everything stays properly aligned and sealed. Think of it as a central hub for getting air into your engine. The intake manifold housing receives air from the air filter, then distributes it evenly to each cylinder. It works closely with the intake manifold itself, which has the runners that actually deliver the air. The housing provides the solid base that lets it all work effectively. A damaged housing can cause a lot of problems. If it cracks or warps, you’ll likely have vacuum leaks – meaning unmetered air gets into the engine. This throws off your air – fuel mixture, causing rough idling, reduced fuel economy, and a loss of power. You’ll notice if it’s really bad, the engine might even misfire or struggle to start. It really acts like a shield protecting those crucial seals and ensuring everything stays together. It's a pretty critical part, and ignoring a problem with it usually leads to more expensive issues down the road. You can find a replacement pretty easily, Fixparts Online carries a good selection of them, and getting it sorted out quickly will save you headaches. Suitable for all conditions: Housing (MPN 05A145905A) includes a 12-month warranty!
