02' Intake manifold removal

**johnfin** · 02-26-2018, 04:10 PM

Do I have to remove the automatic dipstick tube to remove the intake manifold. If so, 1.will fluid come pouring out if removed and 2. if removed can I drive the car off the ramps. I would like to remove the intake while the car is on the ground.

Ok not sure what you're doing here.

Removing the intake you can't run the car.

Yes you can remove the intake and not need to remove the auto dip stick, just move it out of the way carefully. You may need to loosen or remove the bolt that holds the tube to the cylinder head to move it around some.
