This tutorial explains how to remove and replace the intake manifold on a Mazda MX-5. Open the bonnet and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the intake pipe by loosening the clips that hold it in place and unscrewing the bolts with a 10 mm socket from both sides.

Using your fingers, disconnect the electrical connector near the inlet of the pipe. Now you need to remove the throttle cable.

Loosen the adjuster and detach the cable. Remove the rubber gasket from the inlet and proceed to remove the bolts securing the manifold.

The next part of the video introduces the following phase, which will explain in another video how to replace the manifold.

How to Reset the EDC Light on a Mercedes Sprinter?

When the EDC light appears on the instrument cluster of a Mercedes Sprinter, it indicates a generic malfunction in the vehicle's injection system. To identify the source of the problem, a diagnosis must be performed at a workshop. This will help identify the damaged component, which will need to be replaced or repaired. Once the issue has been physically addressed, connect a diagnostic tool to the vehicle's OBD port located under the steering column. This will allow you to clear the errors in the ECU, turning off the EDC light.
