• Step 2: Using an 8mm nut driver, loosen the two clamps on the intake tube.
• Step 3: Disconnect the Crank Case Vent (CCV) line that is connected to the intake tube by pushing on the grey clip and sliding the tube off the fitting.
• Step 4: Disconnect the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor.
• Step 5: Remove the attaching clips for the IAT sensor harness and the coolant line and move the harness out of the way for now.
