Unhappy Intake plenum removal 95 E150

I hope to be able to take off the intake plenum this week. Anyone taken the plenum off? I have 5 bolts and the Torx screw out. Not sure what else to remove. I have watched a few videos on older models. I am hoping they help. Also, any idea where the attached came from? I seem to remember it not being connected to anything just wondering how much time I need to spend trying to figure out if it was plugged in somewhere. I can splice it back in; but it’s pointless if it doesn’t have a purpose. I can just tape off the wires.

Thanks in advance


Any ideas?

What motor?
That could be the EEC Test connector, can you post a better picture of the end of the connector?

Yeah that is the EEC Test connector, best to get that wired back in.

The upper intake has 6 bolts.. one of which is a Torx, and the EGR tube connects between the lower and upper so it has to be disconnected as well. If the tube itself won't break loose from the valve disconnect the valve from the upper intake instead.

Thanks so much. Got 6 bolts so that’s great. Going to remove throttle body today. Then look for more things holding it down

TB doesn't have to come off just the EGR. There is a gasket between the upper/lower that sticks pretty good, chances are it will be destroyed when you separate the two so get a replacement.

Had to remove this bar. What a PITA

The plenum wiggles now I can’t reach the back bolt on the egr valve. Not sure what my next move will be
