Here are the directions for removing the intake. Chances are you forgot to remove something.
1. Properly relieve the fuel system pressure.
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
Negative battery cable
Inlet Air Temperature (IAT) sensor and air hose
Engine cover
Throttle and cruise control cables from the throttle lever bracket
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
Idle Air Control (IAC) motor electrical connector
Throttle Position (TPS) sensor wiring connector
Proportional purge hoses
Brake booster vacuum hose
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose from the intake manifold
Throttle body support bracket bolt
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) tube from the upper intake manifold
Upper intake manifold
3. Clean the mating surfaces.
