Thanks for your help
The black induction pipes(intake system) should lead up to a shiny metal thing,that's the throttle body. You should only have to loosen up the intake tubing to get the throttle body out. Before you do that and take a couple hours I would suggest just smoke testing which takes only a couple of minutes, if there is a leak then you saved a bunch of time.
