Ok i've been having stupid problems with my 4AGE not starting, all of a sudden it does and managed to go to auto 1 to ask some questions and one guy replied he had a similar problem and it was a leak in his gasket between the head and intake. Anyways in my spare time i tried to see if i had a leak my self, so i poured water over my intake (when it was cold of course) and i started to hear water being sucked in and as well as the engine reacting to it , so yes it has a leak, plus i noticed i have one bolt missing which holds the intake to the head. So i'm asking for kinda two things?, ummmm having a leak in such and area confuse my MAP snesor? and if i got a bolt and tighten it where there wasnt one would the leaking stop or most likely i have to reinstall the thing, please HELP!!!! , oh PS someone mentioned to me that i may have TVIS leak and heard its easy to fix so could i have that ???? THANKS JoHnNy_K

pull off the manifolds, clean the mating surfaces, get new gaskets for everywher you pull apart, and then reassemble with the correct number of bolts.
easy huh?

if you have water being sucked in between manifold and head, that's a pretty good indication that's where your leak is, not in the tvis

An intake manifold gasket is pretty cheap, just annoying to fit. I think the last one that I bought was 8 or 10 bucks from Repco. I also have experienced the annoyance of somebody been too lazy to replace the intake manifold bolts resulting in the warping of my intake manifold. Thanks dum dum.
