How in the heck do you get the solenoid rack out???? I've got the coil rack out and the bolts underneath it. I've also got the 3 screws out in the middle of the solenoid rack. It seems that something is still attached under the solenoid rack. Also one of the solenoids broke when I was removing the vacuum hoses. It was the green one, closest to the front of the car. Which one is that and where besides the dealership can I get one? Also how do you disconnect / reconnect the wires to the solenoids? Thanks for all remarks in advance. My car is in 3000 pieces with a lot of new vacuum hose that needs to be put on...

You are loose you just need to play with it some to get it out.
You broke the double throttle control solinoid. You dont need the double throttle. You may or may not know that removing the double throttle is a popular mod. Here is a link for that info. Basically you can just remove the double throttle butterflies out of the Manifold and plug the hole with a bolt and just cap off the associated hoses. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/index.php?...=ST&f=13&t=6912 I can sell you the solinoid if you really are that concerned with it though. Email me if you want it.
To discontect them they have a tab on the top that you push down.

Agentspeed.. dont' bother putting all that **** back.. go non-seqential.. you'll be glad you did. 
Also since I got the solenoid rack off, I've ran into another problem. There is like a vacuum actuator under the rack. I can see the vacuum hoses but if I get them off, I'm not sure I can get my hand down there to get the new hoses on. Is there a way to get it off the block easily? I didn't see anyway but by that time I was saying one too many choice words about all these spaghetti noddles I have been replacing. 4 to 6 hours my ***, I'm on day two...

Oh one more question, If I just cap off the double throttle lines, and decide to leave in the double throttle butterflies will they come open after I start the car?
so either put it all back together or take out the butterflies.
