( 2) - Component failure may be caused by water intrusion into
the wiring harness. Always check insulation for damage

1) Release fuel pressure. See FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE.
Disconnect negative battery cable. Drain cooling system. Disconnect
accelerator, cruise control, and transmission kickdown cables.
Disconnect fuel lines at throttle body. See FUEL LINE DISCONNECT
FITTINGS.
2) Remove engine cover (Ram Van/Wagon), air cleaner and
generator. Disconnect necessary electrical wiring, coolant hoses and
vacuum hoses. Remove distributor cap and spark plug wires. Remove
valve covers (if necessary).
3) Remove bolts, intake manifold and gaskets. Separate
throttle body from intake manifold (if necessary). Turn intake
