Drain Pan

Needle Nose Pliars

Parts Where Purchased From AN-R.com

Step 1

Pop the Hood and look at the Ugly Stock intake Manifold



Step 2
Remove the Clamps Holding on your Intake a Flat head should do this no problem and remove the Hose going from the intake to the Valve Cover






Step 3
Remove the MAP sensor





Step 4
Remove the TPS wire



Step 5
Locate the IACV its on the backside of the intake manifold. Its the black cylinder.. Now Remove the 2 Coolant Hoses coming off of it. Now Coolant may leak from the hoses so have a pan ready. while your there unplug the the IACV sensor.





Step 6
Now Take a 10mm and remove the Throttle Cable bracket. And Take out the Pin holding the throttle cable to the Throttle Rotor






Step 7
Now Remove the Vaccum line coming from the brake booster




Step 8
Remove the Vaccum line coming from the Charcoal Canister.. I do not have this so no picture of it being removed. Since i Removed the Charcoal canister.

Step 9
Right by the Distributor on the Intake Manifold there are coolant lines. Now Remove them with your Needle Nose Pliars. Now Coolant will leak From here as well. So be sure to have a Pan ready to catch it






Step 10
Grab a 17 mm and Remove the Fuel line from the Fuel Filter some fuel may come out so be ready with a shop towel




Step 11
Go to the Fuel Pressure Regulator and Remove the Fuel Return hose.. Some May leak out so be prepared

Step 15

Remove the Intake Manifold.

Step 16.

Now its time to swap parts over from the old intake to the new one. I started by removing the 4 12mm Nuts from the Throttle Body. Be Careful not to Rip the Gasket. Cause No parts stores or the 2 honda dealerships in my area had these in stock. Also i soaked the inside of the TB with seafoam to remove carbon build up






Step 17
Take a 12mm wrench or socket and remove the IACV off of the old intake Manifold.. Notice this is how i Get rid of that Annoying Fluctuating Idle



Now Install everything in the reverse Order And Have Fun =)
