How do you remove the intake manifold on a Windstar 3.8?

The intake manifold is made up of 2 parts, not surprisingly the Upper Intake Manifold (UIM) and Lower Intake Manifold (LIM).The UIM is quite easy to access, with only a couple of components to disconnect in order to remove it. This is also where the bulk of the 'common' work takes place - cleaning egr ports, most of the induction system cleaning, and a very critical repair for the Windstar: failed isolator bolts.The "Related Questions" below cover the UIM in great detail - with links to in-depth procedures on removal, cleaning & maintenance.Not a comprehensive response, but enough to get the conversation started on Windstar 3.8 intake manifolds...The "Related Question" below has lots of information and links to detailed procedures on intake manifold repairs.
