question about intake manifold install.
I just got my intake manifold, t/b and plenum. Everything looks pretty straight forward except step one...lol!! Step 1-"disconnect the accelerator cable, speed control actuator cable and return spring."
I've located all of this but, the picture in the instruction manual blows, and I'm kind of confused on how to get all of this stuff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. LikeI said, everything else looks pretty easy as far as unhooking all of the sensors and junk. I'm guessing I should also consult a Haynes manual as well to get started on this project.
Again, thanks in advance for the advice!!

RE: question about intake manifold install.
Yeah, it all just unhooks. If you look at it, you'll see that it is pretty straight forward.
A word of advice that will make your life easier, lable everything you un-hook to make sure you get everything back together correctly. That's what I did when I replaced my manifold. Also, it is easier to see a piece of tape in the engine bay (thus reminding you that you forgot to hook something back up) than it is to see the connections themselves.

RE: question about intake manifold install.
make sure you clean the mating surface of the intake cuz we didnt do that on my firneds and he has some leakage i dunno if its from that, but thats my guess

RE: question about intake manifold install.
Thanks!! I'm a bit nervous to be honest. It's the first time I've installed something this intensive. I just want to make sure I do it right andnot screw something up. Labeling everything is a great idea. I'm definately going to do that, and make sure everything is clean. Lots of good advice as usual. Sinister,
How do you like the Typhoon manifold? That's what I got. I bought the manifold, plenum and T/B as a package deal from Brother's Performance.I'm hoping that it is a good quality part that will last a long time. I guess most anything is better than the plastic manifold.

CRAP!! Just got my intake and unboxed it. It's broken!! One of the placed to put a bolt in snapped off. 
I guess I'll have to wait another week. Better to find out now than be half way through and find out.
