Hello,

I pulled upper and lower manifold, took out the fuel injectors rail, now i need to pull out the Intake manifold , i took out all 8 bolts ( 4 nuts and 4 bolts ), but i have no luck. it's stuck. I'm trying to change the gaskets, because they are leaking oil right to the injectors causing my car to have bad starts due to oil in the injectors.

any ideas please help

please help

thank you....scrui

 

The upper and lower manifold IS the Intake Manifold. You mean remove the throttle body?

 

The throttle body is on the intake manifold...

 

mygreenmax94 is correct, it's called the Intake manifold, i need to pull out the whole thing, the book states to lift it out. i soaked the sides with wd40.

any ideas

 

If you replaced your injectors,then you took the intake manifold off..

You got a pic of it?

 

So you didn't remove it, Just unbolted it?

 

What part are you talking about??

 

not the upper, not the lower, its the intake manifold

 

i just took a picture, how do i paste it ?

 

You are talking about this right?


If so..Try to pry it loose with a screwdriver or similar tool...

 

yes, that's it.
I'm going to let set all night with wd40 and try it again tomorrow morning .

thanks.

I hope that is all I will need to pry this thing up, because just with sheer strenght, didn't work at all.

I just thought maybe there's was something else i needed to loosen to get this thing out, that i wasn't aware of it.

 

I've never pulled apart a VG but what about the passages where the coolant flows through, did you unbolt that part?

 

Does it even wiggle at all?

 

 

I also drained the coolant and removed the hoses, i don't THINK i need to unbolt the thermostat housing. I hope .

 

Update -

I was able to pry the Intake, I took your advise MygreenMax94.
I used a crow bar and placed were you told me and with a little pressure,
it loosen itself.....thanks.

man, no wonder the injectors were full of oil and gunk , the gaskets were shot. this will defenitely make my ride much smoother going forward.

thank you.
