Detailed Description

Mahle MS16238 is built for intake sealing service on 1997-1998 Ford E-350 Econoline, Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, and Ford Econoline Super Duty applications with lower and upper intake coverage. The molded rubber construction helps maintain a consistent seal at the intake and plenum interfaces, while the paper throttle body gasket completes the sealing stack at the throttle body. This part cross-references Fel-Pro MS94012-1 for the same application. Use MS16238 when replacing worn or leaking intake sealing components on Ford E-350 Econoline and related Ford van platforms.

Common Issues It Can Address

• Intake manifold vacuum leaks
• Coolant or air leakage at intake sealing surfaces
• Rough idle caused by deteriorated gaskets
• Throttle body sealing issues during intake service
• Loss of sealing integrity from heat-aged gasket materials

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration and build date before ordering, especially for 1998 applications noted as through 10/15/97. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the intake manifold, plenum, and throttle body for warpage or damage before installation. Follow the vehicle service procedure for torque sequence and recheck sealing surfaces after assembly.
