your engine will run too lean.
Yes. Antifreeze is actually pumped through the intake manifold. If the gasket is bad it is possible that it leaks out
Not that I've heard of. Replacing the gaskets and inspecting the manifold for warping or cracks is the best way to stop intake vacuum leaks.
Intake manifold leaks will cause the engine to idle rough and get poor fuel economy. An exhaust manifold will have no symptoms other than the sound of the leak.
Could be the intake manifold gaskets are leaking.
Intake manifold gasket
Have the head gaskets checked and intake manifold gaskets checked for leaks. The 3.4's are known for head and intake leaks! Or a bad thermostat.
An intake manifold itself typically does not directly cause a car to overheat. However, if there are issues such as leaks in the intake manifold gasket or a malfunction that allows coolant to enter the intake system, it can lead to overheating. Additionally, if the intake manifold is not functioning properly, it can affect engine performance and efficiency, potentially contributing to overheating issues. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent these problems.
If the intake manifold gasket has failed then it can cause many issues. Air leaks, known as vacuum leaks, will cause an erratic idle, stalling, and fuel problems.
Intake manifold leaks can occur due to a variety of reasons, primarily due to cracks, gasket failures, or improper sealing. When coolant seeps into the intake manifold, it can lead to water leaks, which may result in engine performance issues, overheating, or even engine damage. Regular wear and tear, exposure to high temperatures, and age can contribute to these failures, necessitating timely inspection and repairs to prevent further engine complications.
cry because its probaly lower intake manifold leaking which is 500-700 to fix
A good place to look for Coolant Leaks is around the Intake Manifold, as if the engine has recently started to run rough, this could be a definite sign of a bad intake manifold gasket. Unfortunately, the cost of this type of repair at the local Clip Joint can end up costing you $800.
To replace the intake manifold gasket on a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville with a 3800 engine, first disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access to the intake manifold, such as the air intake and throttle body. Drain the coolant and detach the intake manifold by loosening the bolts in a specific sequence to avoid warping. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly, then install the new gasket and reassemble the manifold, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, refill the coolant, reconnect the battery, and start the engine to check for leaks.
