I'm getting ready to service our 2001. It's been progressively getting harder and harder to start due to a leaking FPR. I'm going to upgrade it to MFI in the process with p/n19210688. I'm also leaking coolant down the side of the block towards the tranny. I've got the Fel-Pro intake manifold gaskets to hopefully cure that problem. So the throttle body and lower intake plenum are coming off. I'm also doing plugs, cap, rotor, fan clutch, motor mounts, and replacing vacuum lines.

Is there anything else I should be thinking of. Anything to look out for when taking off the plenum?

 

You may have seen this before, but it's a pretty good write-up. Probably has more than you need, but still...
let me know how the mfi swap works out. I'll be doing that myself next week.
