How do you tell if you have a blown intake manifold gasket vs a blown head gasket in 96 Ford Mustange engine car gets hot quickly white smoke water coming out around front of intake manifold?
I bet you have a 4.6 L engine. If so, then check where the thermostat housing is, there is a plastic cross over to the other side of the intake. The intake cracks right there. Loss of coolant will cause overheating, plus if you look behind the alt. or remove it and start the engine, you will see where it is leaking, that`s if it is leaking to the outside. Most times it does. Ford has a problem with these intakes. They have modified the new part, now a cast cross over. If that is not the problem, then with a blown head gasket you will have white smoke out the exhaust all the time, and the coolant level will of course go down. If it is the intake gasket, then you will have coolant in the oil, easy to see when you check the oil, creamy brownish colour and of course you will lose coolant and it will overheat also. Most likely since you said `white smoke water coming out around front of intake ` Ford wants anywhere from $ 500. to $ 700.00 just for the intake. It`s a 5 to 8 hour job for yourself. At Ford, $$$$$ 1,500. big bucks. Good luck.
How Do You replace exhaust manifold gasket on a 2002 Dodge Dakota?
un bolt old one from exhaust pipe then unbolt it from the engine. Take it off and whne putting a new one on it is a good idea to change gasket and manifold bolts. EDIT: I have a '94 Jeep Cherokee with the same Inline 6 4.0L engine as is in yours. With mine, I had to remove the intake manifold, you will probably have to do the same.

How do you replace starter on 2002 duramax diesel?
You have to remove the intake manifold, you should be able to get to the nine bolts through the wheel well. Once intake manifold is off, you will see the Starter. Two Connection, one Bolt, and one Nut. Disconnect the Battery first. Very Bad Design, and Strater placement. Good Luck.
Where is the starter fuse for a 1987 Cadillac DeVille?
29s here, i work for an automotive company a recently we had a 94 or 95 caddy deville with the north star engine in for a starter replacement. the starter was located in the center of the motor! the engine is a v-shape (v8) with the intake cover acting as a lid overtop of the motor with the starter smack in the center. you would have to remove the intake in order to even see the starter if you have the same motor types. That is exactly how to remove it on a 97, i have one and the starter is located under the intake.

How do you replace a manifold gasket in a 95 Ford Windstar?
"Manifold gasket" ? whick one? Upper intake MG,Lower intake MG or exhaust MG? I thinks you mean intake MG. The Upper intake MG is easy on. Just undo the bolt and clear the gasket materal, then replace new upper intake MG. The lower intake MG is a little bit hard. Carefully clear the old gasket material on the manifold and head, clear the bolt nad bolt hole in the head, then carfully install the lower intake MGand double check the coolant passage in ordeer to void the coolant leading. The last step is to torque corectly the bolt. good luck.
Can an intake manifold gasket with a small tear in a narrow section be repaired with scotch tape?
That's probably not a good idea. You could use silicone gasket sealer, but let it thoroughly dry before you start the engine, otherwise it could be sucked down the intake.
How do you replace the intake gasket on a 1992 Chevy Lumina Z34?
I'll assume Lower Intake Gasket, since they tend to cause vacuum leaks. Get a manual from Autozone and expect about 4 hrs labor, you need to take off the upper intake manifold just to replace the Lower Intake Gasket. Probably should change/clean the PCV valve while ur in there. Good luck, man.
Could the intake manifold gasket in a 4.2L V6 be the cause of all cylinders getting coolant in them you did a compression check and all was good Cant figure out how coolant is getting into all the c?
Sounds like the head gasket may be leaking to allow the coolant to get in the oil but it it still sealing well around the cylinders. Yes, lower intake manifold gasket is probably leaking. Very common in 1997 and 1998 models. Good engine, just needs sealed up.
Coolant leakage by engine block is this probably gasket leak?
Yes, this is normally caused by a blown head gasket cracked or warped head or both. The intake manifold gaskets go bad and leak coolant also. The original Chevrolet stock intake gaskets were not so good.

Why would oil be on the intake manifold on a Chevy 350?
Probably a gasket or seal. Could be the rocker cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, or end rail seals. Have even seen the oil pressure sender leak and spray up onto the manifold. Get everything cleaned up real good and you'll be able to see where it's coming from.
Where is the starter located on a 1998 DeVille?
The starter is located under the intake manifold and requires removal of the intake manifold to access it. Good luck!
