Subject:      Re: Engine Gremlin

Todd: I cured this problem by stopping a vacuum leak around one of the four large rubber hoses that connect the intake manifold to the intake runners.I noticed the intake manifold did not look centered. I slid the rubber hoses into position by tapping them on the edge with a large screw driver. Good Luck Ken Lewis Kernersville NC 86 Crewcab
