4. Disconnect the accelerator, the cruise, and the transmission control cables.
. Remove the vacuum hose harness from top of the air inlet.
6. Disconnect the crankcase ventilation valve and the power brake vacuum hoses from the vacuum tubes at the upper manifold (position vacuum hoses out of the way).
7. Remove the electrical connectors at MAP sensor, TP sensor, and IAC valve.
8. Remove the bolts/nuts attaching accelerator cable bracket (position bracket and cables out of the way).
9. Remove the MAP sensor.
10. Remove the bolts/studs (1) attaching upper manifold to the lower manifold (position fuel injector wiring harness out of the way).
11. Remove the upper manifold assembly (2) and gasket (3) (discard gasket).

CAUTION: In order to prevent damage to the sealing surfaces, carefully use sharp tools in cleaning the old gasket from the aluminum surfaces.

12. Clean the gasket mating sufaces.
13. Inspect the replacement upper manifold for items that are to be transferred to the new manifold.
14. Disassemble the upper manifold following the component repair procedures.
