Default yahoo, it's fixed

been dealing with my miss for months now. Well bit the bullet today and pulled everything apart and replaced the number 4 injector while I had it apart but the real culprit was 2/3 of the lower intake manifold gasket missing around the #4 cylinder port. Installed a new gasket and put Locktite on the bolts so I would suggest everyone check their bolts it it's a turbo. Pull as many bolts as you can, clean them and put Locktite on em. She purrs now!

Keep you fingers crossed that it's the last you'll hear of that problem. Congrats for finding it.

was thinking about something. If that much gasket was missing and I did hear a vaccum leak than why wouldn't I have heard something when it was under boost. The pressure would have been greater than the vaccum leak.

Hey CRUZIN, I was at Old Town last nite, were you? Geez, the people were as think as ants and almost never found a place to park.

Maybe the answer to your first question is that under boost everything else is making a lot of noise to hide the vacuum leak.

I do go to Old Town on Friday nights sometimes but it's a 1 1/2 hour drive so I usually don't go unless other people that I know will be there. The Orlando PT Cruiser club sometimes gets together for a turn-out and I have a good friend that lets me know in advance.
