I actually just put my '97 900se back together today after doing a head gasket replacement. Although it still isn't starting :( I'm not sure if your 2.3L will be the same as my 2.0L turbo but I had wires similar to those running down by the oil dipstick. Mine were actually zip tied to the dipstick tube. Cut the ties and pull out the dipstick tube. I had 3 wires, all of which must be unbolted but reaching down behind the intake manifold (yes it's a tight fit but with some help and extra eyes it can be done). On my 4 cyl there were 8 manifold bolts so I would guess there would be 10 if yours is a 6 cyl. there is also a mounting bracket underneath the manifold supporting it which you can unbolt with a little maneuvering. Make sure to take pictures or tape your vacuum tubes so you remember which one goes where. I forgot to do this and am now paying the price -_- If you have an pictures you can post of your throttle body and where the tubes go to I would greatly appreciate it! good luck!
