I finally got her to run but needs more tunning up....

I think I have a leak on my intake manifold. What are the symtoms if my gasket is bad? My car is now stalling and my idle seem to go up and down when parked. Service engine comes on and off while driving. Should I buy the gasket for it or should I use one of those gasket maker that comes in the tube????


She has about 100k miles on and was stuck for a long time....


Any Information will be greatly appreciated

Thanks..

 

Yea, sounds about right, spray carb cleaner on the suspect area and see if idle changes.
New gaskets are cheap like 8$. Silicon is good for the front and back, its a heck of a lot better than thoses two rubber pieces.

I got some fel-pro gaskets for my new intake and sealed them with black rtv sealant. This is probably the best thing. Use the gaskets and the sealant.
