- Remove the PCM, without removing harness connectors, and set aside. Lift the air cleaner element assembly off of the air inlet assembly locating pins. Slide the air cleaner element assembly toward the fender in order to separate the air cleaner element assembly from the air inlet assembly. Remove the air cleaner element assembly and remove the intake air ducting from the throttle body. Loosen the clamp connecting the air cleaner element to the MAF/IAT sensor assembly.
