Howdy everyone. I recently caught the CEL light throwing a fit and pulled a code 3 for the map sensor (the connectors were bad and it kept slipping off) After driving a bit in the stated condition, a cel 71 & 72 revealed themselves as well. (misfire in cyl 1,2) I'm assuming due to the spark plugs.

Now I just snagged the parts I need but the damn bastard of a map sensor isn't willing to budge a bit almost as if its become one with the IM. I've already cramped up my forearms after battling the 2 demonized screws for over a good half hour !

Any tips I could try that'll make the removal process a bit easier, anything ? This is stressing me beyond belief right now

 

Demonized screws, LOL... nice!

Maybe you just don't have enough man power? Go round up the buffest dude you can find.

Always put a dab of Anti Seize on screws/bolts/nuts that you reinstall, especially lugnuts!

 

I would try PB Blaster.
Or try hitting the screwdriver with a hammer (and no, I dont mean try to turn the screwdriver around by somehow hitting it with the hammer), just hit it into the screw.
That works wonders sometimes....like on brake rotors.

 

Especially on Brake Rotors, just do it when you put them back in too...
