Intake swap....HELP! I don't know where to put this, but here's the situatioin
Right now, the car is in the garage. The injectors are off, as well as the fuel rails, TB, all lines but one. its the line that sits right behind the TB that comes from the drivers side head(PCV or EVAP?) Its got 2 white buttons and I've pushed them to try to pull it off, but it doesn't want to come off and I don't want to bust it and then be SOL. ANY help would be great...thanks!

yeah, I tried that...still didn't want to pull off..should I just muscle it a bit?
if your talking about the line coming out of the intake manifold just behind the TB then you slide the white clip out (the clip is U shaped and holds the line to the intake mani) it will only slide out about halfway after that just pull the line out and PRESTO done
hope that helps

Thanks Everyone. I got it to come off with my huge bulging muscles 
(kidding about that..) I put the new intake on and ran it in the garage for about 10 minutes to make sure it idle'd fine and sounded ok...no codes, so thats cool. I'll take it out for a test run later.
