removing lower intake

[Sonic]

Hi all,

I need to replace the lower intake (I've learned from #stanget, its called lower intake yuhii ) but i wonder do i need to remove all things (waterpump, generater...)?

Could you please help me? Here is a pic how long I'm come with it. If I won't bother you, I appreciate to mark what needs to remove to take out the lower intake.

Hey, not sure if you saw my post in your last thread but here is the section from the factory service manual for your car that details how to remove and re-install the lower intake manifold. You don't need to remove the water pump or alternator, but you will need to disconnect the upper rad hose, fuel lines, PCV/vacuum hoses, ect. I also usually take the distributor cap off with all the wires to make it a little easier to move around. Once you get everything disconnected, it will take some upward force to get that lower intake off normally.

Sorry for taking your time again I didn't see that, thanks a lot. I don't know all parts upper rad hose, fuel lines, PCV/vacuum hoses but I will read your attachment and google it. Thanks again #Hoyster

A dummy question, in pdf file writes:

"WARNING: RELIEVE FUEL LINE PRESSURE BEFORE DISASSEMBLING CONNECTIONS.
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE MIXTURES ARE ALWAYS PRESENT AND MAY BE IGNITED,
RESULTING IN POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY."

As a beginner i really don't know how to decrease pressure or remove all pres üre. I don't also want to put neighbor's in danger or myself. So what should i do know

Should I do as this video to "RELIEVE FUEL LINE PRESSURE" on 95 gt?

The battery should be disconnected so I wouldn't worry about messing with the fuel cutoff switch (the electric fuel pump can't start without the battery connected). Then you can relieve the fuel pressure by putting a rag over the Schrader valve on the fuel rail and pressing it down to relieve the pressure. The rag will catch most of the gas, and there really isn't much pressure to release. Especially if the car has been sitting for a little.

Hey, I'll take a cookie any day!

@Sonic, yes, sorry, forgot to mention you will need a fuel line/ac disconnect tool to separate those lines. They're cheap but in case you can't source one for some reason, you can make one out of an old marker/sharpie cap.

Bag all your parts, and label in order. Clean as you go. Maybe take pictures, and take your time. In the end you will enjoy it, and save a thousand dollars.

I'll see what I can do but honestly he is a little behind on his kick backs AHHH,I mean subscription dues

I don't remember taking off my fuel hose? I'm sure I popped off the fuel rails as an assembly, one or two injectors might stay on the lower manifold, but they just pop out because they are held by o-rings.
But disconnecting that fuel hose will yield better clearance to remove the lower.
Btw. There is a bycicle/tire valve called a shraddre valve. You push on the middle pin to release some fuel pressure. Be warned and safe, wear eye protection!

You can do it
Put your back into it
Easy job about 5 hundred R&R plus the gaskets, coolant and oil change parts
Disconnect the battery is a good one

 

[manicmechanic007]

Put the front tires on blocks and save your back some wear
Use a can of brakleen and compressed air and a blower nozzle to clean the hell out of it before you remove it
Clean and scrape the head surface below both valve covers good
Lay a bunch of rags in the valley to catch the crap when you scrape the gaskets
Clean everything spotless before reinstalling the maniform

thank you all i've used a metal (same as Coke can) to disconnect that and I recorded, to help others who doesn't have the toll Love u all
