Intake Manifold Removal

[Zaakir]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to remove the intake manifold on the 2zzge motor. I tried but failed. There seems to be something holding it down even though I removed all apparent bolts. I did not unbolt the throttle body as is seems to be independent of the intake manifold. I been running lean and suspect a gasket failure. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Regards

There's a couple of places with hidden fasteners, if you look at the first pic you have to remove a nut (marked #2) and then remove two bolts (marked #1).

If you look at the second pic there's another single bolt at the bottom of the manifold you have to remove with a 14mm socket.

See Step 8 in this link http://www.newcelica.org/forums/showthread.php?t=290680

Hope this helps
