Basically, it’s the part that takes air—and sometimes a fuel – air mixture, depending on your engine—and distributes it to each of the cylinders in your engine. Think of it like a network of pipes, carefully designed to get the right amount of air to each cylinder so everything burns efficiently. It’s got runners, which are those individual pathways, and a plenum, that’s the main chamber where the air collects before being sent out. It also often holds things like sensors and maybe even the throttle body. It’s a critical part of the engine, obviously. It sits right on top of the engine, connecting to the air filter on one side and the cylinder heads on the other. It’s part of the whole breathing system for your engine. Air comes in, gets distributed evenly, and then the engine uses that air to make power. It’s a central piece, everything relies on it functioning correctly. If it fails or develops a leak, you’ll notice a big drop in engine performance. It might run rough, have trouble starting, and your fuel economy will suffer. A cracked manifold or a bad gasket acts like a shield with holes in it – air escapes where it shouldn’t and messes with the air – fuel ratio. That can even lead to more serious engine damage over time. It’s one of those things that, when it’s good, you don’t think about it. When it goes bad, you absolutely will.
