It'd be easier to remove the intake. It's located on the back of it on the bottom part, if I'm not mistaken, I could go out there and look at mine but I'm too lazy, haha.

It's difficult, but not impossible.
I had to clean mines due to no idling. Luckily I have smaller hands to get between the firewall and the head, but it's not impossible.
It is located on the passenger side firewall right behind the corner of the head. IIRC, it is a yellow plug.

only 4 bolts but hard to get to if you don't have miniature hands like me. haha. You can get to it if you can get someone with skinny arms/hands to get in there to turn a wrench. Just gotta move stuff (hoses, bpt valve, engine harness, etc) out of the way to get more room. I happened to get mine out to clean it but it was a pain and I have knuckle scars to show for it.


You can kind of see it here in the top right image; bottom right corner.
