I'll take your word for it and I do know where to pull them up, but Roger might find this of interest. I pity all of the car owners that went in for service requiring the intake to be pulled and got a car in return that does the GM boogie (leaker).
Different intake, torqued it and all, new intake bolts whole nine yards, no change, exact same issue. Two months fighting this same issue, time to swap the friggin motor and deal with that later.
Damn, but at this point I think I'd also drop in a used engine. $176 at the P&S here, but it would be nice to find a fresh wreck that someone was trying to sell complete.
I have one from a wreck I parted a while ago in a Malibu. Go figure a bunch of crap to change though to make it work. Even the damn temp sender is different...
So I swapped the motor.... now the miss is in cylinder 2 and it is gutless... Engine came from a wreck so it was running, but no good way to test everything as the radiator was busted up.
Wow, sorry to hear this and especially in light of knowing that you've put up a good fight on this one. Any thoughts on what's next, or is this end of the road for the project?
I am going to take a break from it for now. Likely I will stick a good known good engine that I can properly check out first. This engine does have low compression in the offending cylinder, but it has high miles so not likely going to try to salvage it. I have another engine, high miles, but runs ok other than de-powered I think due to the security system. Went from all is fine to can't shift out of park overnight, and lacked for power after that as well.
Wishing you the best of luck and do post when you're working on it again. Your car project sounds like a couple of electrical projects (from hell) I've got going right now, keep on fighting but just can't seem to win, somehow there's always an unexpected setback but eventually, somehow, there will be a victory!
