Might need to take a rubber mallet and pop the top of the intake (side to side) a few times. If youre sure you got all the bolts its probably the gasket glueing it down

@rangerrobee ,
Is your 94 an EGR engine? If so, you will need to also disconnect the EGR valve from the upper intake manifold.

gaz is right. But (rubber) hammer it, if you're sure there is nothing else holding it on.
