if youre pretty sure you got the vacuum hoses are right, it may be the upper intake (plenum) gasket. did you replace the plenum gasket when you did the valve covers? if so, did you make sure to clean off ALL the old gasket material? valve covers on these engines are not easy but ill bet if you bring it to a Toyota garage, bite the bullet and spend the money for diagnosis they can figure it out in no time.
The heads don't necessarily need to be resurfaced when you change the head gaskets unless you think they may be cracked. They should be resurfaced every time the gaskets are changed, but you can get by without resurfacing them.
Every mating surface where there is a possibility of something leaking out.
if u had to mess with the timing and u didnt put it at tdc then your just off a bit another thing is normally when u replace head gaskets u also should we place all gaskets such as intake,exhaust,valve cover ect.. cause when u take things off that are supposed to be torqued down the gaskets are flatten and should not every be reused of course i dont know what the car is doing but check for vaccum leaks and timing
head gaskets??? warped heads? did you have them milled?
You must get your tires changed every six years.
I believe it was the eye of a dragon, it's on one of the very first pages in every book.
Oprah is on every cover of O Magazine because it is hers!
I don't think that the blue book applies to that year. But, if the wing is in top shape, has a maintenance record of all the repairs and has low mileage, new tires, front seals changed, head gaskets changed, oil changed every 3,000 miles ( 5,000 kms ) then look around 3 to 4 thousand. This depends of course if the stator has been changed. If it is carb. or fuel injected, and most of all, does it ride good.
Transmission fluid must be changed every 10,000 miles.
The spark plugs on a 1999 Mercury Cougar are located under the cover of the engine. The spark plugs should be changed approximately every 60,000 miles.
The only one i know of right now is a move called vaccume-cut, normal type and does minimum 18 damage to every enemy in the room
It must be changed every 100,000 miles on a 2004 and newer. On a 2003 and older it must be changed every 90,000 miles.
