...and the intake plenum does not want to BUDGE...

I've removed 3 short bolts, 2 long bolts and 2 side nuts and it's like it's cemented on there... I'm afraid I'm gonna mess this thing up... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

something for me to deal with tomorrow...


There should be *4* short bolts, 2 long ones, and 2 nuts/washers. You might have missed one of the short ones hiding back behind the intake plenum neck where the throttle body mounts onto?

It should not be hard to get the plenum loose, although getting that firewall-side ear out from under the heater hose has always caused me to use some words Momma would have washed my mouth out for if she'd heard... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> and don't get me started on the idiocy of the rear plenum bracket bolts...
