ok, i was told to remove the 3 nuts and a bolt that hold the upper intake manifold to the lower, so i did and its a little loose, but it still won't come off, can anyone tell me how to get it off, like step by step.

What year car? NA or turbo???

There is a long bolt under the secondary fuel rail on the NA that is easy to miss....Also, have you gotten all the bolts on the drivers side off? Disconnected the metering oil pump rod?

Also, might want to invest in a Haynes or shop manual.

Besides the 3 nuts and 1 bolt retaining the Upper Intake to the Lower Intake, there are 3 more bolts you need to remove the Upper Intake In whole.

The first one Is behind the Alternator attached to a metal plate like pilliar. the next two are the same except they bolt onto a Y palte. The trick with this Is to remove the Accelerated Warm up Valve (beside Bac Valve). It has a V shaped Air Hose. After removing that you will see the Y shaped pilar. Loosen off the bolts (don't remove). Gently attempt to remove the Intake. Better safe than sorry than report back.

ok, i know that i disconnected the y thingy and its off its mounts, but there were still things in its way, was i supposed to remove a fuel line or anything to do with fuel? because i was taking off somethig that i tyhought was causing resisting in my removing of the intake, and something spilled out, i smelled it and it was fuel, let me know. still something hoding it in place.
