They do. Well, I got the last bolt. No fix. I found out that the intake manifold was leaking because I spray some carb cleaner at it while the car was running and the idle dropped. Any suggestions?

Oh and I loosen every nut on the intake manifold and pulled it off(not all the way but to the point where it looks like I took it off) and tightened every nut in the correct sequence. Still nothing.

Get a new intake manifold gasket lol.

The only other source of intake manifold leaks are the throttlebody, Iacv, vac lines and a couple sensors.

I replaced the Intake manifold gasket like a month ago when I switch manifolds so I really don't see how It would mess up in a fast amount of time lol

Where are you spraying the carb cleaner exactly? If it's on the intake manifold gasket, it's going to be the gasket.


Another trick would be to turn off the car and light up a cigar.

Pull off a vac line that goes to the intake manifold and puff in cigar smoke until it comes out the leak. Done.

I sprayed it directly on top of the manifold, near the fuel injector.

And I did that cigar thingy, with a cigarette though lol. My uncle did it for me and the smoke was coming out of throttle body. Covered up the IACV hole and it was still coming out. Throttle was all the way shut though??

Doubt it cause the gasket is brand new. I'm almost sure that it's coming from the holes that fuel injectors rest on. The o rings weren't fit in snugly and also the fuel rail isn't securely fit on the intake manifold because my dumbass broke the studs lol

Going to pick up a Type R intake manifold with all the sensors and Throttle body included on Monday for $50 since I am also trading my Blox Intake manifold and Throttle body. Might as well start all new again since I have been having this high idle issue and it has been eating my gas lately.:evil:

Lol just realized I've went through 2 intake manifold and no luck. I hate vacuum leaks.
