Well, I'll do a once over with some carb cleaner or something. As far as gas mileage is concerned, that may be of some interest to us, as she is only getting ~19-20 average with 70% highway driving. I think that's pretty poor for a V6.

A fuel line disconnect tool. Not sure if you can remove the lower intake manifold with it in place or not. I always remove it. I don't pull the injectors. I just leave them and the fuel rail attached to the lower and spray it out with Berrymans.

Bingo... WHATEVER YOU DO.. DON'T CUT THOSE FUEL LINES!!! you can't simply "splice" or mend them. nor can you buy a replacement.. it is fused to the metal supply lines on the driver's side and is replaced with the rubber hoses.. (all the way to the fuel pump!!!)
Anyway... fuel line disconnect tool.

You can remove the lower with out disconnecting the fuel line... I know the CAP CEG guys can chime in on this one, i didn't disconnect it when i removed mine and i don't think any of them did either at our mod/maintainence meet

I just remove the lines because less possibility of having an injector issue with an o-ring or inj. not seated properly. 6 of 1, 1/2 a dozen of another.

If I am going that far in to it, I'll replace the injector o-rings as it is, anyway.
