yes you have to take it off to remove the intake but you can remove the fuel rail and injectors as one piece and just swing it out of the way. the thing you're forgetting is you have to remove the throttle body before you remove the intake so you really don't have to remove the intake to fix your issue.

sorry it took so long to get to that last part :)

I agree, I don't see why you have touch the fuel rail.

To get to the Throttle, first remove the air box (easy).
then the MAF (carefully),
then the TB and its connector/hoses.

Be careful of the connecting rubber elbows: if they're old they may crack and then you have an air leak that could throw the CEL and error codes.

IMHO: I would also put on a new TB profile gasket (11 61 1 716 174) when I finally reassemble everything. And for sure clean the gasket groove and the mating surface on the manifold too. That's standard.
