How do I remove a .2 airbox?
Okay, so I did search but wasn't successful in finding instructions. I just need to remove the air cleaner housing so I can do a little housekeeping in the engine compartment. I figured out how to get the air filters out, just not smart enough to figure out the rest...Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Gary

Just lift it out. It is held in by rubber plugs underneath.. just don't lose them.
Remove the hose at the throttle body side. Be careful putting the hose back on as it is tough to get it on or be sure it is all the way on the underside of the throttle body opening. I found it is easier to re-attach it before re-seating the air housing. You reseat the air box by simply pressing down.

OP, I can't tell if your car is an S model or not. If it is, you will also need to unplug the vacuum line and electrical connection going to the solenoid that controls the Helmholtz resonator. The solenoid is found at the right side of the airbox and is also simple to remove. If it is a non-S, then it is not there.
