I all,

 

Today Ill remove my plenum but I have a question from my Lumina 1992 3.1L. Did i need to buy a new gasket for the TB and for the MAP sensor.

 

Thx Frank

I would definatly get a new one, even if it looks like you can replace it, why take the risk?

if you pulled the TB then yes I would say you need to replace that gasket too... you should beable to get a gasket set for it that has the upper and lower intake along with the TB and water pump gasket.... I know thats how my 3100 set came...

was like 65$ how ever had I known that the head gaskets where included in the 120$ set.

I would have gotten that set insted...stupid car parts stores...I asked them atleast 5 times. DOES THAT 120 set include the head gaskets and the guy said NO....thats the only kit they have. so I went to the place where I got the set for 65 that didnt include the Head gaskets..and there complete set was $170..but then a week later I found out where I was the First time there intake only set was only $52 and the complete set for heads and everything was the $120 Price. Damnit..... oh well was only a grand am anyways but doesnt leak any oil

 

so yeah you should get everything in the intake set the TB WP Upper and lower and....make sure your kit has RTV in it if not get the High temp stuff for like $3-4

Put it this way. Having a replacement gasket on hand almost always ensures you won't need it

i think in ur picture your pointing at vacuum lines, not gaskets

Thats what it looks like to me also.

wrong section. And the EGR gasket is pretty durable so you MIGHT not need it, but it's just a few bucks anyway.
