Well, if it doesn't look realistic to find a way in there, just yank the intake manifold and you can do some other needed service at the same time.

- clean and replace seals on injectors
- clean throttle body
- clean out the gunk on, below and around the air flap
- clean out the carbon build up in the intake manifold.
- clean the plastic housing (breather box) that is attached between the flametrap and block, it could be clogged with gunk
- check condtion of wiring harness


Just remember to label and draw little diagrams of the intake hoses and connectors before removing manifold. Getting nut number 6 off of the manifold is a little difficult, I found that if you pull injector number 4 first, it makes it easier.
