You've got to look into it. It's been years since I've done it. But when I tweaked my ALDA, I didn't have to remove the intake manifold. The ALDA is enshrouded by a mechanical rat's nest of fuel lines, vacuum connections, and shaded closely by the intake manifold. By loosening or removing some of those lines and the brackets that organize their paths, you will have more slack to work with.

You need to destroy the cover of the alda by using a screwdriver to pop the cap, then loosen the locknut that fastens the adjusting screwbolt that you need to adjust. Loosening the nut requires working with limited space, but I suppose it's even harder next when you have to wedge the screwdriver purpendicular to the slot of the adjustment screw(like a strike and dip in a geological fault), and turn it in small increments at a time: Working your way around the box(ALDA) until you are satisfied.

I did it that way because the intake manifold looks really difficult to remove(like I said....A rat's nest).

Make sure you're doing this inside, or you have OFF with Deet.
