thanks gents. can i just please confirm how many holes i need to clean out and where they are exactly? i know they are shown here i just want to make sure i know what i am doing. also, by the time i pull the intake plenum i am basically doing a valve cover gasket and a fuel filter, ALL hoses i can get to and a handful of other items?
i'm asking because i was considering tackling the EGR valve (diagnostic and cleaning) and the EVR valve (mine is a tad loose) - both of which seem easy enough to tackle on the street really quickly.

nice. thanks fz1boxer.
hi gents,
can i just please make sure i have names associated with these ports before i have to go in? i’m having a hard time orienting myself before tearing it apart.
1. the multiple angles line is a “upper intake manifold port”?
2. the dashes line is a “vacuum hose port” (for something or other)
3. what are the two orthogonal lines one with U shaped and one L shaped? then there is the image with the YELLOW line which i guess is the Ushaoed port in the other image?
4. what was the circled item again please?
THANKS
jon

and just a couple more please?
A. what’s the circled item with the busted stub? and the other item in the large red circle please?
B. what is the large-ish assembly shown in this other image please?
C. what are the round rubber looking deals?
D. for gaskets am i seeing just a throttle body gasket and two valve cover gaskets?
THANK YOU

top pic circled sensor is for the EGR its the temp sensor
top pic long red line port is EGR port
top pic short red line is vacuum port it goes to PCV in valve cover
in your second set of pics
large red circle is a water line from engine block to throttle body,then it goes fromTB back to thermostat area on front of engine
other red circle(bust nipple)is vacuum for the fuel pressure regulator-needs to be fixed

solid line in this one is EGR port and dashed line is vacuum port to PCV valve? just want to make sure i am seeing all this correctly.
another dumb question but what is this assembly please? i guess it’s a couple items attached the the throttle body assembly...?
these are all the valve cover spark plug grommets i gather? the ones next to the fuel rail at the top look a lot thinner than the ones in the “pre-surgery” pic...
Idle Air Controller,round black plastic.
the other is the Throttle Position Sensor
those black rubber pieces are the spark plug grommets,thats what old ones look like after you hammer them out of the valve cover,depending on how much foul language is used most come out in one piece looks like you used a few choice words ................that day
thanks a ton for those. yes. inspection sticker then plates down here so i’m running old temp tags at the moment.
starting to think i’d rather do the full valve cover gasket and incidentals job after it is plated. i’d enjoy it more, it would be warmer and i wouldn’t have other s*** in the way.
at the same time getting the full picture is helpful to me at least tonorder the parts...
going to read the FSM, check the EGR, clear the port at the air intake plenum by pulling the throttle body assembly (?) - and there was one other quick fix...?
yeah, making a list and checking it twice...
are you saying to pull the fuel injector connections during the valve cover job? not for clearing to 0401 code?
