Remove the air intake tube from the throttle body. Get a pillow to lay on top of the engine. Saw about 1½ inches off the end of he handle of a Phillips screw driver, reach over the back and feel for the 2 screws holding on the cap. Unscrew them and raise the cap up high enough to see what all the wires are hung under and move all that stuff out of the way. If you get a new cap and wires, wire the cap before you put it back,because you cannot see where the wires go with the cap installed. It is all done by feel, unless your head is skinny enough to stick under the dash and look straight down. One good thing about it: It will be easier the second time. There is no easy way.
