25. Remove the fan and the fan shroud.
26. Loosen the adjusting bolt (1) and the pivot bolt (3).
27. Remove the tension on the fan belt by rotating the tension bolt (2) counterclockwise.
28. Remove the fan belt.
29. Remove the 2 tensioner mounting bolts (1, 3) and the tensioner.
30. Rotate the belt tensioner clockwise and remove the accessory drive belt.
31. Remove the bolt and the throttle cable bracket (2) from the intake manifold.
32. Remove the cables from the throttle body bellcrank and position aside.
33. Remove the power steering pressure and return lines from the power steering pump and position aside. Cap the open lines to prevent leakage.
34. Disconnect the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor connector.
35. Disconnect the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor connector.
36. Remove the air cleaner assembly. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement in Powertrain Management.
37. Remove the heater hoses (1) from the heater core. Mark the location of the inlet and outlet hoses for correct installation.
38. Disconnect the fuel feed and return hoses (9). Label the feed and return hoses for correct installation.

^ The fuel injector wiring harness (3)
^ The Throttle Position (TP) sensor (8)
^ The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor (11)
^ The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve (6)
^ The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve (1)
^ The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor (2)
^ The EVAP canister purge valve (7)
^ The Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 (HO2S1)
^ The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor
^ The Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch wire
^ The generator wires
^ The oil pressure switch wire
40. Remove the bolt and the ground wires from the intake manifold (10).
41. Remove the EVAP canister purge hose from the intake manifold.
42. Remove the wiring harness from the retaining clamps.
43. Remove the brake booster vacuum line from the intake manifold.
44. Disconnect the starter solenoid electrical connector.
45. Remove the nut and the battery positive cable (3) from the starter solenoid.
