Rough Engine idle - 3.5 - 97 LHS

Lower intake manifold gaskets.

Successful test methods include; Smoke machine. Flooding the suspect area with propane and noting any apparent change in engine idle quality.

You'd have to ask Mr. Chrysler, but so far and considering you have a 7 year old vehicle, I doubt it.

Two hours labor and $25-$30 for parts.

I am not sure about the rings going bad in a 3.5, but I do know that the intake manifold gasket has a tendancy to lose it's seal, creating a vaccume leak. This is a common problem with the 3.5 from what I have read.

Extended Warrantee???? I've got a 2004 T&C that acts like it wants to die when you are stopped at a red light, and it's warm. It's been to the dealer

Been there, done that. Cost me $20 for parts, took 4 hours to fix it. See this url for more info:

Why on earth would you go back to a dealer like that? Its obviously an idiotic statement, find another dealer.

Thanks for all the responses. I appreciate it.
