Good luck and happy maintenance!
Before removing the intake manifold, complete these steps:
- Remove the air filter box assembly
- Disconnect the accelerator cable from the TBI/throttle body
After that, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose going to the brake booster
2. Disconnect the PCV hose (disconnect both ends to make room for a later step)
3. Disconnect the valve-cover breather (it is not connected to the intake manifold, but this makes it easier to move the TBI/throttle body in the next step)
4. Disconnect the canister hose
6. Remove the 4 10mm bolts securing the TBI/throttle body to the intake manifold (tighten to 12Nm / 1.2Kgf.m during assembly)
7. Remove the 3 10mm bolts from the wiring-harness and coolant-pipe bracket.
8. Loosen the rear intake-manifold support bolt ('10'), near the TBI/throttle body (tighten to 10Nm/1Kgf.m during reassembly)
9. Remove the 3 12mm bolts and 2 12mm nuts securing the intake manifold to the cylinder head (tighten to 22Nm / 2.2Kgf.m during assembly. Tighten in a crisscross pattern from the inside out, in 2 to 3 stages until final torque)
10. Pull the intake manifold toward the front of the car and remove it
11. Remove the EGR plate and its metal gasket
12. The procedure is complete. Reassemble in reverse order as needed.
