    Good morning all

    Does anyone have any tips or trick to replace that little fuel hose at the front of the engine under the throttle cable linkage? I have been at it this morning for a while but to no avail.

    Would love to remove the parts for the throttle above it but I'm not sure how detrimental that would be or how far I need to go. Plus, heavy duty throttle springs make me nervous!

    Cheers

    It's a plenum off job IMO.

    Agree with Mike, plenum off and change all the hoses

    Great article antman. To anyone working on that same fuel hose, whether you follow that article or have already removed the plenum for other works, make sure you align the hose clamps so you can tweak their screws again in a few years time. And don't use worm drive clamps or generic EFI fuel hose.
    Thinking ahead is a good habit on these cars :)
