why are you removing an engine harness?
and the intake removal is probably the easiest part  it runs up in back of the motor where you have to remove some some braces too. This post has been edited by playr158: Dec 8, 2008 - 3:05 PM |

then pull out the wires with the motor and swap them while they are out of the car?
and if you mean intake MANIFOLD...then your answer is no. when making posts try to be as detailed as possible so its easier to answer your question

yes, there is.
you disconnect it at the fuse box in the engine bay, and in the passanger compartment from the ECU and 3 interior plugs behind the HVAC controls, and pull the motor, then label and disconnect everything with the motor out. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

It helps if you remove the valve cover on the 5sfe.
