I went and had midas do the free inspection on my car. A list of things are wrong with it. Which I knew about! Any ways I have bad Upper and Lower Intake Gaskets that do need to be replaced. Im planning on doing it myself. Can anyone point me in the right direction, as to what needs to be taking off and the order it has to be done and the steps and procedures????????????????

Check the autozone web site. They generally have repair guides that will help you through the steps for your application.

Air duct, alternator, fuel rails, back three plug wires, tensioner assembly, supercharger, LIM EGR pipe, LIM, oil and filter.

Its not so hard. It will take longer for you to clean everything up before you install the new gaskets for you to tear it apart.

does the coolant need to be drained to do the lower intake manifold gasket?

It would be a good idea to drain at least some of the coolant but no need to drain all of it.

Mine was leaking so bad that I didnt have to drain any. Besides when you remove the ternsioner assembly, it will drain anyways.
