Hey Marauderman! You got rid of your LX Sport just in time, hahaha! I couldn't put it off any longer and replaced the intake manifold.

Wanna know where all the coolant ends up when your intake manifold goes bad? I found it!

It's really not a bad job. Just a big spaghetti mess of wiring and vacuum lines.

But, this is how confident I was about removing the fuel injectors to replace the o-rings.

HAHA! No, that was a 20-pounder, and I never recharged it. And the old blue CVPI.
I learned my lesson, hence why this one is strapped in next to me.

Saw you doing this on FB ....was going to say that car looked familiar--lol

Does it still run fast!! LOL--That was a good car liked it a lot but honestly my '06CV PI street package is much much faster with the 355's and shift points for it and of course can't forget the ever present FIRE Suppression System it has that covers my tail !!! Its an omen for having been in Fire Protection over 50 years---why not then--Yeah!

Fast enough, haha. But, with the 3.27s it's the most fuel efficient car in my fleet. Still have a bit of tune up work to do. But a great running car.
