DJSG3 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 First thing you are going to need is a new gasket for your intake plenum. That would be that aluminum thing that rises up from the top middle of your engine and leans over the back spark plugs. To get the plenum off requires the removal of about 10 bolts,nuts,screws. Luckily you can disconnect it from the throttle body without having to remove said body. Tape and mark any wires/hoses you disconnect. The gasket you will probably have to order online because most parts stores will only sell you the whole set of gaskets for the intake assembly not just the plenum gasket. Spark plugs should be either platinum or iridium-tipped. DJSG3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
