First let me say I love my 1998 Explorer. It's really not an overstatement, so please dont think I'm being an idiot by asking this, but I'm compelled to.
I pulled off an EGR Sensor that looks like hot air just ripped to to shreds. Like an idiot I just let the hoses lay however in the engine, meaning to replace them shortly. I've come to now realize that they blow a hole in my intake manifold. Now after replacing the EGR Sensor and the MAF Sensor, I'm realizing this hole was the problem (previously I realized that the truck wouldnt stall out if I unplugged the MAF Sensor). Anyway, I'm wondering whether I need to replace the entire manifold or can I use something to plug that hole? A mechanic friend said that's the source of my problem and that air is getting in through that hole.
