1 peice header?

 

it should come out pretty easy.. make sure you have enuff clearance to drop the entire headder down to the ground...and how is it stuck on the alternator? are you talkign about its stuck on the ac pump? youjsut have to be a lil creative on wiggling it out of there

 

Ok, I got it out, wrapped, and back in, and then I started to bolt the header back to the head, and Im having trouble with the last three bolts to the far right, excluding the locking one, I put those two on first. Why am I having trouble getting those bolts back in?

take your time... sometimes having everything losen first b4 you finger tighten things back on...take a breather...a little drink.. eat lunch or something.. it will go on there.. also..spray those nuts and bolts with wd40 just to get dirt out of them and what not.. remember to tighten them in a certain fashion...im pretty sure you kno the rest

 

I loosened up everything, and took out all the bolts, now I cant get any of them to go on!!! Damnit, this is annoying. Someone help me out please!

Ok, I put a little pressure on the header to lift it, and now all the bolts are in. I tightened everything down, and reved it up in the driveway, everything seemed fine, alittle of the spilt coolant was burning off, then I saw the check engine light! Damnit! Codes 71, 72, 73, and 74. What happened?!?

****, thats a random missfire across all cylinders. Should I clear them and see if they come back? What caused it? Note- I sprayed the engine down with water to get rid of the coolant.

Im not throwing code 74 anymore, but still 71-73, and now the ABS is on, if it could throw a code, its blinking code 16, whatever that means... What the hell is goin on?

Did you remember to replace the exhaust mani gasket? Did you get all the bolts tightened down well and even? Did you bump or knock anything out of place when you pulled out your header?

Edit: I read that you said you sprayed your engine down with water. Let everything dry overnight and crank her up in the morning. Oh, and in the meantime pull your plugs and plug wires to make sure there isn't water collecting on them.
