First off, welcome to Club Protege.

A pic of what you're trying to describe would be helpful, but did you forget to take off the intake manifold support bracket?

Just for future refrence, the intake manifold goes to the cylinder head, not the cylinder block.

did you get the 2 long ones from the underside of the manifold

We're working on it on AIM.

Apparently he did.

Haha, shut up Randy.

I guess all of the bolts are out and it still won't budge.

Any more input is welcome.

[92dx]

theres one under the throttle body...at least on the dx mani, you gotta take it off to get it....

[Thraxster]

supposing the two bolts from the underside with the nuts can stay in, it should be out, i'll check for the one under the throttle body in the am, but i dont think i could put that back together.

whats the second line coming off the throttle cable wheel? the one on the top, i've never seen that before, always wondered why there was a second notch for a cable.

any ideas? im clueless

if the throttle cable wheel was on a AUTO its prolly for the kickdown cable for passing gear . they prolly just used the same wheel and slapped it on the MT that was on the AT, wich would be vacant if on the MT

sounds reasonable to me, i said **** it, sent it to a shop, after trying to pry the intake off with none of the screws in it, im letting the gearheads work it out, ****ty tho i couldnt do it myself.

That sucks man.

I just took this pic for you to show you what you were missing. There are 4 bolts on the bottom.
