i was changing the spark plugs in the car today, and as i was removing the one in the back on passenger side, the coolant hose that runs just over it popped!! i tried to slip it back on...but no luck. i then noticed that there is actually a peice of plasticbroken off in the hose!!! what do i do? Is the stem on the manifold broken, and do i need to buy a new manifold . it is the hose that runs from the intake manifold in the back corner of the engine on passenger side.

Ok, well i ordered a new intake manifold and all items required for install. i've printed the step by step instructions from the online repair manual, and as soon as i get it in i will put it in. Damn plastic Sh*t, thats gotta be the dumbest f*n thing. about how much time should it take to do this and are there any special tools i will need to complete the job? any help will be greatly appreciated.

no special tools 7mm to remove the coils. 8mm to remove the fuel rail. 10mm to remove the alt braket and alt.10mmtounbolt the egr to the plenum. disconnect the throttle and cruise cables and unbolt the bracket.then remove all wiring and vacuum lines. then remove the 10mm bolts that hold the intake downremoved the intake and swap the plenum and tbody and sensor's to the new one. reverse procedure.
