Injector connector?
I decided after three years of emissions drama I would tear into the intake, get the injectors serviced, replace the PD, look at the EGR, and generally freshen up the joint.
After a couple hours messing around, trying to unstick thins that were ment to fit together for a long time, I got the upper manifold off and have all the injectors out.
Q: How important is it that the connectors for the injectors are fuul intact? I broke all four of them (yep, perfect score) in one form or another. They're so fragile after eighteen years of heat cycles. I doubt they're going anywhere but one never knows these things.
FWIW, I also broke a coupe vacume lines and that dang thermo-wax coolant line...
Is everybody using JB Weld to block off the cold-start coolant injector hole?

As a side note, one of the four injectors (primairy on the front housing) was REALLY gunky. The others look ok.
I'll try to get photos if anybody's interested.
