Go to Kragens and buy a chiltons manual.

All that stuff goes on how it came off. The proper tools and a little common sense will go a long way [patriot]

Try your local public library. They ususally have a good selection of manuals which will help you out. Look for one which covers the year of your car. Some even have good wiring digrams and engine sensor info. Best of all, they're free. [Big Grin]

89lx has some good advice..... you may also be able to find a used manual cheap online at www.half.com .... or you can be ghetto and walk in the store, read/memorize the sections of the book you want and walk out with the knowledge in your head [Big Grin]

Yea....just went out and did it myself. Really not that difficult. Just detached all the wires from stock TB and EGR, and all the tubes.....remembered where they went. Took old off, put new on, then replaced all the wiring and hoses. Took me like 90 minutes.....dont have good tools. I had to call a freind, because i didnt have a wrench in a certian size to take off some nuts, LOL. Next thing i need to do...is my adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Any ideas on how to start? Or just go at it? DO i need to like....clamp the fuel line or something so i dont get it all over me?

Need to relieve fuel system pressure, then just unbolt the old one and replace... just remember youre going to spill fuel, so dont catch yourself on FIRE
