     This     list   is    getting   full    of    crap!

   This guy has a problem. The last thing he needs is to be sent
on a wild goose chase. IF your not sure of what would cause the
problem don't start making wild guesses! Anyone can do this.

DO you really think this guys intake manifold would clog and then
unclog when cold!

TO try to help is one thing...but to lead him astray is bad.
Sorry to sound mean, but I'm getting feed up with seeing incorrect
information.
