You must remove the upper intake to remove the wiring harness. The injector plugs are impossible to access otherwise. Also it's very difficult to remove the bolt that secures the ECU ground.

I just did the whole ignition wiring from ECU to injectors due to a fire that burned some of my wiring... If you have any specific questions beyond what Aaron already told you, let me know and feel free to message me. Be prepared to pull the bolts from the rats nest and UIM support bracket to slide the wiring under it, you might be able to leave it connected. I ended up cutting it in some places since it was brittle from the heat and removal was easier that way.

Rats nest = solenoid rack.

You can find component locations and wiring information in the Factory Service Manual. This can be found in the FAQ at the top of this forum.
