hey guys, my friends 05 TL's Manifold has gone bad! He needs a new Manifold, is anyone selling it or? It's really expensive in a dealership!

 

Look on ebay

 

Never saw an intake go bad, but look over on:

Why do you have 2 of the same threads open??

so my friend's mechanic installed a used good condition Intake Manifold today and he said that his car still dies after some of the stops... the car also starts up slowly idk what is he really talking about but everyone on AZ is saying the IM cannot go bad and my friends did too this guy is saying it is the IM. What do you think guy's?

 

Not really sure what you expect with from such an information deficient post....

What exactly is he saying was/is wrong with the IM? Cracked? Gasket leaking? Any codes? Symptoms?

EGR valve?

 

I will take him to my mechanic, I think his mechanic is a dud. We'll diagnose the car and see what is really going on!

 

 

Yeah, well, I knew better than to expend an effort. That's 30 seconds of my life I'll never get back....My own fault....

 

Throttlebody maybe??? Not intake manifold... take a pic of the replaced part... and come back with more information as in problem

 

And I think the mechanic is screwing ya...

My 2cents...

 

On my 2006 TL I broke 2 bolts on my manifold.One on the top cover peice below the A of the acura lettering and one that mounts a sensor with 2 tubes(1 brake booster hose i think).It makes a loud whistle and I feel air sucking in from the broken bolt.Should I get a EX-Out bolt remover kit,take it somewhere,or get a new manifold?

 

get the screw extractor kit for less than $20 vice paying someone probably $50 or 300 for a new manifold....

the cover screws are made to break easily since they are suppose to be only tightened at around 11inlbs. you could probably grab a small flathead and twist it out( thats what i did but after i bought the extractor kit...smh) lol. As for the other bolt, i dont know... take a pic

 

Partially stuck open egr valve, Throttle body sticking or a real nice vacuum leak even possible fuel delivery problem any could be your culprit

 

I am so lucky. I was able to drill it out with a titanium drill bit.Purchased two and broke one. I have a replacement bolts from Lowes in the holes with no leaking air and no more whistleing.Should I get the oem bolts or just run with the hardware store ones? Here are some pictures.
