6. Remove the air cleaner outlet tube. For additional information, refer to Section.

7. Disconnect the throttle position (TP) sensor and the idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connectors.

8. Disconnect the vacuum hose.

9. Disconnect the fuel supply spring lock coupler.

10. Disconnect the accelerator controls.

• Disconnect the accelerator cable.
• If equipped, disconnect the speed control cable.

11. Remove the accelerator cable bracket bolts.

12. Remove the throttle body and spacer assembly.

13. Release the clip and position the accelerator cable bracket and the cables aside.

14. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the fuel pulse damper, EGR vacuum regulator solenoid, supercharger bypass vacuum solenoid, and the differential pressure feedback EGR system.

15. Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the differential pressure feedback EGR system.

16. Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the supercharger bypass vacuum solenoid, and the actuator.

17. Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the fuel pulse damper and the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid.

18. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the EGR valv

19. Disconnect the vacuum hoses at the back of the supercharger and position the vacuum harness aside.

20. Remove the vacuum accessory bracket mounting nut.

21. Remove the mounting bolts, and the vacuum accessory bracket.

22. Disconnect the exhaust manifold to EGR valve tube.

23. Disconnect the barometric pressure (BARO) sensor electrical connector.

24. Disconnect the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) hose.

25. Separate the fuel charging wiring harness from the fuel injection supply manifold in four places and position the harness aside.

26. Remove the ten bolts, the intake manifold, supercharger and fuel supply manifold as an assembly.

27. Disconnect and remove the PCV hoses.

28. Remove the coolant supply and return manifold.
