Not sure what engine you are working on but if you are using a new gasket there is no need for silicone unless the directions included with the new gasket require it.

First check your throttle body sensor and then your (iac) motor. Last but not least it could be your plenum gasket or a leak in your vacuum system
Your 1991 4 runner will not stay crank and it loses power Also you have to start it with starter fluid what is wrong?
if you mean it doesnt crank long enough to start you probably need a battery. i suspect that the battery is dead because it takes so long to start. long crank times on these engines is usually caused by a bad cold start injector (found in the intake plenum on the passenger side, it has a small diameter steel fuel line and a 2 wire plug connected to it. held in place by 2 10mm screws) or the cold start injector time switch (found in the back of the engine behind the intake plenum, it sits in an aluminum casting that holds other water temp sensors and has a blue plug with 2 wires on it). replace these 2 items and you should be fine as far as hard starting goes.

The manifold gasket is the same as the plenum gasket. The manifold gasket is a barrier between the manifold and the engine block.

After beginning to produce white smoke from the exhaust a 98 Bonneville dies and would not start again what could be causing this?
White smoke is coolant in the cylinders. Died and won't restart cause the spark plugs are shorted with coolant. If you keep trying to start it without fixing it you could bend a rod! Most likely it is a failed intake manifold gasket or intake plenum gasket or the intake plenum itself. Don't drive the car cause if it is the plenum leaking coolant into the engine it can fill a cylinder with coolant and do major damage when you try to start it. No way to know for sure which of the three it is without pulling the plenum. If you're pulling that you might as well change the intake manifold gasket too. Could be a bad head gasket
What gaskets will you need to repair a coolant leak coming from the intake manifold on a 1996 Camaro 3800 V6?
You will need a intake manifold set and possibly a plenum gasket set.
How to change the rear spark plugs on Camry 2002 V6?
You have to remove the throttle body/air intake plenum to get to the rear plugs. I believe the plenum is supported with two or three stays which are hard to see. You will need a new gasket for the plenum/intake manifold interface.One post on Toyota Nation Forum says that it can be done without removing the plenum. I think he is skilled at beating the clock at a repair shop.

How do you fix a 1997 Dodge Ram truck that has oil leaking into the intake manifold What are the parts and equipment necessary for this project?
== == First, you have to find out where it's leaking FROM. It might be blowby with a lot of oil mixed in it, picked up by the PCV valve and dumping into the intake manifold. It might be transmission fluid from a bad vacuum modulator. Find out where it's comming from first, then figure out what's wrong and what needs to be repaired. oil should not be leaking into the intake manifold. If you are burning oil then the first thing i would check are the heads and pistons Answer that is a very common problem on those trucks. there is an inspection cover on the bottom side of the intake manifold called the plenum. the plenum gasket blows out all the time on those trucks. it causes the intake to suck oil out of the cam valley. there is a replacement gasket that is now metal instead of silicone, as well as aftermarket inspection covers.
