well guys, in the last week my 96 civic hx has began to idle like a muscle car....cleaned out everything possible other than cleaning/replace my pcv valve....its way down through the intake manifold and i swear I pulled on that damn hose hard enough to pick my motor up off the mounts and I still cant get it loose....I want to know if anyone out there has a trick on how to get that thing the hell out....thanks much

 

Twist it with some pliers and yank it out.

 

Take out the TB and use very long needle nose pliers...

 

Yep. what they said...

takin your tb apart is a good idea or hook it up to a winch and pull !!!! lol
