I have read the how-to, does anyone know if the fuel rail can be left intact when pulling the lower intake? Don't want to get any deeper in this that I have to... Haynes manual does not reference removing the fuel manifold, that is why I am asking.



You can remove the LIM while leaving the fuel rail attached. You have to do some wiggling and all. But the fuel line seperator tool is like $10 at NAPA...then you can remove the whole thing as a unit. I did the prior...but after having done that..would have rather done the former.

(figure that out!!!)
