Anyone know a secret to getting this evil little box off of the back of the intake manifold sometime before I'm 50!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
there is a rubber price that slides over the metal bracket. when I did it I wasted a ton of time undoing those screws on the bottom side of the intake manifold.

if you slide the electrical box toward the front bumper I believe it will slide out. you need to slip a metal tab off of a rubber grommet/hanger. If the front doesn't work try another direction, one will work. I did this two years ago and I'm on my mobile right now so I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

best of luck.
