[DML] Re: Inlet Air Manifold

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You probably don't have that pipe seated all the way. The end that 
you inserted is tapered and will leak unless completely in there. 

When you had the pipe completely un-installed the air leak was about 
a 3/4" dia hole. Which is certainly enough to keep the engine from 
running.

Look at the back of the two big square intake runners. There are 
vacuum hoses off the back of each of those, in all your working 
around the area you may have knocked something else loose.
