Disassembly - Passenger Side (Right Side)
1. While wearing proper eye protection and a respirator, blow the engine compartment free of dust.2. Disconnect the water hose above the air regulator. It is not necessary to drain the coolant to perform this procedure, however some coolant will spill when the upper plenum water hose is disconnected so use a rag to catch the spilled coolant. Leave the radiator cap in place to reduce the amount of coolant loss and the creation of air pockets in the system.
3. Disconnect the brake booster hose, PCV hose, air regulator electrical connector, ground wire, and fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose at the fuel pressure regulator control solenoid valve.
4. Remove the air regulator from the plenum (be careful not to lose the O-ring) and then remove the water hose below the air regulator.
5. Remove the EGR valve upper tube nut and loosen the EGR lower tube nut.
Applying Permatex(R) FASTBREAK Super Penetrant or similar product will assist in loosening the nuts.
6. Disconnect the EGR temperature sensor connector (if equipped).
7. Remove the EGR solenoid connector. It is not necessary to remove the EGR valve bracket.
