Howdy all -
It looks are if the 3800 intake manifold problem has struck my 1994 Buick Regal. which has the upper plastic plenum.
I had noticed a coolent smell for some time, with coolent loss, but never saw any coolent. It was leaking and burning up. Did a cooling system test and it seems to be leaking coolent from the back where it collects on top of the transaxle. A quick check of the dipstick and filler does not show any water in the oil nor is there oil in the cooling system.
So.... my experience level as an amateur is fair... it's been awhile since I've removed an intake manifold ( since the old TBI and carburated days)
What is the proper list of parts necessary and where can they be obtained???
How much time does this procedure take...( again...not professional)...
Finally is there a good written procedure that also shows part locations...I have a Motor manual, which seems to be written for the automotive professional. Is there something more descriptive with illusrations available ??
Thanking you in advance
Bryan
