This is an easy job, the first thing to do is disconnect the battery and drain the coolant, also remove all intake tubing and air filter box to the throttle body. Unplug the two wiring connectors to the throttle body Here are images to help you with the job.

Tighten the intake manifold fasteners in sequence to 12 nm. (106 inch pounds)

Check out the images (below). Please upload a short video in your response if you have an issue so I can help walk you through the repair. Ken
