the bolt that secures the intake manifold, the head snapped off of it! it's the one on the rear passanger side too, any suggestions on what the hell i should do?

oh yeah, it's the one that holds the upper intake, not the lower!

Remove the rest of the bolts, and then take off the upper intake. Then hopefully you'll be able to get a grip on the bolt with a pair of vice grips and get it out.

Then just take one of the same bolts (I'm assuming its one of the short ones?) to a hardware store and buy another one that is the same.

good luck gettin it out

I think that from the factory they put some sort of steel bar on one of the upper to lower bolts, is that removed?

There are only 6 bolts holding the upper on, so if you have 5 removed and then the one that has a broken head, you should be able to remove the upper. You may need to do a little prying, but it should come up.
