Happy New Year.

I've been on the search for a 2003 duratec intake manifold and have not found any in stock anywhere. Can someone with more resources point me in the right direction?

Much obliged,

The 2001-2003 2.3l Duratec intakes are different than the 2004-2011 just FYI
2001-2003 have IMRC
2004 and up did not

 

Check some junkyards?

 

Thanks for the input friends. I was preferring virgin plastic if at all possible, but if there is no new parts to be had, I shall forage if need be.
I have the IMRC shaft leakage problem, the same as the infamous Tanker saga.
I'll be rewiring the fuel charge harness as well, due to compartment fire that toasted most of the circuits on the passenger side.
In fact, I'll also be doing investigation of the appx. 2 gallons of coolant that went strait into the crankcase after a coolant change.I drained the radiator via petcock, and refilled via overflow reservoir. I cranked it over for a few minutes to circulate the pump, then left it overnight. I discovered the sludge the next morning, when I attempted an oil change.
That amount doesn't sound like a head gasket leak to me. anyone concur?
Thanks again.

Respectfully,
Tigertamer

 

Could be if head gasket failed next to an oil drain passage in the block, but rare

Leave oil drain plug out
Pull off a coolant hose thats at head level
Refill rad with water
If water doesn't run out of oil pan until it gets to head level(Hose has water coming out) then block is OK not cracked
If water starts running out of oil pan right way then block is cracked
