John O have told me in the past that you do not have to remove the intake

manifold to reach the sensor, but his said you need to remove the motor fan

and there and are not much room but you can get to them.. with the fan out

Please let me know how your project turn out.... and what problem you encounter.... I need to do mine this summer ....

still fear about remove the intake manifold this why I am avoid doing it at this time.....

but I do get many feed back said that have done it with the fan remove only.....

Good luck........hope this input help.....
