slick Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I bet its an intake leak as well. With the car running, spray some throttle body cleaner around the lower intake gasket. If it seems to surge or act funny, you can tell the LIMG is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be. My classes end in a few weeks. If you figure out what is exactly wrong with your car, and wouldn't mind a helping hand, i'll come out.
