Hi,
I'm in the process of repairing the secondary air injector system under the intake manifold. To get to the intake manifold for removal, I have to first remove the harness and connectors that sit on either side of the intake and just above the injectors. I can't seem to figure out how to get to two connectors to remove them. I can't even see them from the top. One is the connector that goes to the Alternator (right side) and the other goes to the left eccentric shaft sensor (I think that's what it is). Anyway, they are both down towards the bottom of the engine. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this. I'm following the Bentley manual, but it doesn't give a hint for removing these connectors. It just says to remove them to move the harness out of the way. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Renard
