If I remeber correctly you might have to take off a few bolts that connect to the EGR. I cannot remeber if that was for the TB or the Intake plenum...

EGR? IAC and EGR shouldn't be connected! EGR valve should be ecu controlled to open when engine is warm. or it is connected and i dont know where they're placed. btw, where is IAC motor/valve

What about the 2 hoses going into the IACV on the bottom of the throttle body...I cant get my hand in there to disconnect them, its too tight...any suggestions?...I can get the clamp of the hose but then the hose doesnt budge. Its like almost glued on?
And what about the actual throttle cables which rev the engine when u pull back on them....is there any special way to take them off?
thanks
