After putting it back together......

After putting the 3.0 back together and fixing some issues.. son drove it for a couple hundred miles and it acted like it was missing.... again.

As soon as I find the other post ill link it here.

So I took it apart and found the intake manifold gasket was black. Which tells me that there is a leak.... somewhere. The valves open and close normally... no smoke out of the calendar when I put it into the smoke in the plug hole so I can only guess is the gasket on the intake?

RonD do you think this could be my headache? ill post pictures tonight of it to get your opine.


Matt
