Hello All,
Long story short I've been chasing a vacuum leak for a while where I would hear the occasional hissing under the hood once the engine is warm. As title says I need a new Intake Manifold. 06 Mounty v8 212k. The leak appears to be the runner control valve rods that go into the back of the intake. I did my gaskets 3 months ago and didnt pay too much attention to it as I was rushed for time, but unless there is a way to replace the seals for them I would need to replace the manifold. Mileage has tanked again was 20mpg hwy 15 city to now 10 city and who knows hwy. I do drive heavy but even when I'm gentle the tank only last around 230 miles max. Issue being I cannot locate any new manifolds for the vehicle. Plenty of mustang ones available but none for the Explorer/Mounty. Any help would be appreciated
