Started pulling the blown engine. Ran into a couple of issues. 1. Should the intake manifold come off the engine before the engine comes out? 2. Should the ECU plug be disconnected at the firewall or does the wiring harness separate from the engine before coming out? I started to take the intake off and boy are two of the bolts hard to get to while in the car.
