I removed the front bolts and then the rear 2 bolts.. the left of the manifold comes up but seems like a bolt or 2 on the right side..looked in fsm..no help.
Though the picture of the egr tube looks like it maybe bracketed to the manifold. Input?
Removing,clean,replacing gaskets.for a friend..carbon build up..
Thanks..

 

So you did or did NOT remove the two bolts holding in the EGR guide tube?

 

Yup - you missed the two bolts that hold the EGR guide tube to the manifold... they are right below/behind the IACV.

Make sure you clean out the EGR guide tube while you have the manifold off (in addition to the other cleaning you do).

 

Okay thanks guys.. As you can't really see anything behind it..the two rear bolts with brackets..I felt around with my finger and used a closed end reversable wrench on it, and tapped down on the end with hammers end.
Yep I'm basically cleaning out everything and replacing things. Taking some pics of things to show before and after.

 

lol.. i missed those 2 yesterday as well... tinkering without haynes/chilton = PwN3D

 

Hmm I actually have the chilton somewhere. must search...
Did you have carbon build up in the manifold? or was it mostly clean..
I tried convincing my friend to get some nope! would have been easier..

 

Oh my god i need to dothis...i am waiting for a friend to come back from D.C. so he can help me but if this is something that ican do on my own this owuld kick ***! my EGR CEL code is popping up and the whole IM needs to be cleaned...the EGR has already been replaced so i need to celan all the shiat out of there. You all suggest that i get the Chiltens manual? I dont have many tools, but i can bum from a friends down the block....im trying to learn more about my car so im tinkinering...what do you all say?

 

my EGR was malfunct for 3.5 years (i snuck it past smog =D ).. and i just left it like that. No noticeable performance loss.
