We're going to show you how to remove and replace your vehicle's engine cover, which will allow you access to things on top of the motor, and allow easier access to things like the spark plug, map sensor, ignition coil, the throttle body, and a wide variety of other components under the cover.

Here are the items you will need for this repair: straight pick, gloves

Remove the oil fill cap. Grab the bottom portion of the fill tube here, turn that counterclockwise as well. Move that. The connector on top of your EGR valve is also going to be in the way, if removing your engine cover. This is a little plastic tab in here. Now, these are really prone to breaking, so I like to push down on that tab with a pick and just remove the safety from the connector completely, so we don't risk breaking it and having it be less secure when we reinstall. Push down on the tab, and remove the electrical connector from your EGR. Simply pop up, and remove your engine cover.

Removing the engine cover gives you access to a variety of sensors such as this purge solenoid for your EVAP emissions, your map sensor, ignition coil, fuel lines, as well as a variety of other components throughout the engine.

Reinstall the engine cover. These bushings sit on top of these two pegs here. Snap both of those into place. Reinstall the oil fill tube, as well as the cap. Reconnect the electrical connector for the EGR, and again, I remove these safety clips. Pop that back in if you did the same thing.
