You have some skinny ass hands to release the belt tensioner without removing the fan.

Very tight spaces but didn't want to have to fill coolant and I didn't have tool to take fan off.

Happy new year !!!!! I'm glad I go the car running before the new year! I will go to lake tahoe soon now!

Ya it was tight, mainly finding a short socket is what worked best. Then long bar so my hands didn't have to be down there besides putting socket on the tensioner.

When driving yesterday when I came to a stop my rpmschedule would kinda go up and down from idle, kinda like a vacuum leak.

But nothing is wrong with the intake or manifold..
