Disconnect from ECU and pull the engine out with the harness and tranny.



Its easier to assemble back this way and put it back in. Good luck!

try to do the non sequential while you have the motor out.... it will be a little more work when the motor is out, but it will make trouble shooting a lot simpler while you're installing and when you have it in

Replace any philips-head screws on hard-to-get-to items such as the TPS and FPR/FPD with allen head screws.
