Just had my plenum off and purchased Marc's DVD prior to doing so - best $50 I've ever spent on the car.

Studied the DVD a few times and knew my fat butt wasn't sitting up on the plenum like Marc does when it came time to remove the MAP sensor bracket.

And Marc says "be very careful with the fasteners - if you drop them back here you'll likely never retrieve them, and they are no longer available from GM".

One of mine was original and the other was stainless, so I knew someone like me had been there before. But I had been forewarned!

His words were going through my mind as I was starting the first screw (the original one), while putting the bracket back in place. I was being very, very careful.... and you know what I did.

And it was not to be found!
