Nope to all of those.
I did swap out the fuse (not broken) and I got the cap rotor and sensor.
That cap and rotor look like it's going to be a *****.

LOL... I use a big sofa cushion to lay on up there, it's got a hole in it for the oil fill, and I cover the hood latch with something for when I slide back off

Yup you definitely want to cover the hood latch!!! I had that ruin a pair of pants when I got up on the core support to look at something (and being a girl I had a lot less to injure there, but it was still eye opening!).

Getting up there is one thing, Getting a tool to magically land in the torx bolts that hold that cap on is something else entirely.
I even took the hood off and still unable to make any progress.

LOL... good luck with it! Magnetic torx screwdrivers are a must. I recently used a magnet on a stick behind the intake to retrieve a nut that rolled off the cowl... it came back with two torx bolts... still new and blue. They are now saved for future use, and will be needed I'm sure.

And on a side note.... switched side mirrors a while back, which inherently requires fishing dropped nuts out of inside of door. Magnet came back with a rusty pair of pliers that the po must have been using to put the ugly tow mirrors on with.

Do you have to loosen and turn the distibutor to get to the front torx that is under the intake?

 

[Keeper]

no... long torx screwdriver though

also, can you see it? is the other one removed already? are you sure it's in there?

No, I tend to choose the hardest part first, I'll jump to the other one though and see

The one closest to the intake was not there..
