Anyone have a clue on removing the engine wire harness without removing the intake manifold? the only thing thats holding the harness from the intake is the engine harness holder right? any idea how to take it out?

 

what I did was have a friend and untangle the harness. on my hatch the harness ran through the middle of the intake and we slowly pulled it through being careful not to cut into the harness and mess up the EGR valve. Side question are you removing the harness to do a swap ?

 

oh sorry, dont know if it matters but i have a '99 honda civic ex

 

That's going to be you'r best bet but even if you did have to pull the IM it takes half an hour +/- ?(if you've had it off before)
