1. Remove the engine appearance cover. For additional information, refer to Engine Appearance Cover- Exploded View [1][2]Access Cover, Engine.
2. Remove the Air Cleaner (ACL) outlet pipe.
3. Disconnect the 2 PCM electrical connectors.
- Detach the 3 wiring harness retainers.
4. Disconnect the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister vent solenoid and throttle body electrical connectors.
- Detach the wiring harness pin-type retainer.
5. Disconnect the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) vapor tube from the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) canister vent solenoid.
- Detach the pin-type retainer.
6. Release the clamp and disconnect the power brake booster vacuum supply hose from the intake manifold.
7. Detach the 2 wiring harness/coolant tube retainers from the upper intake manifold.
