I was trying to take out the Intake manifold , when I got to the last two bolts I didn't have the long socket wrench to take them off , so I decided to put everything back . After that, I started the car and it was idling so bad like there is a big cam and rpm goes down to .5k . The car acts like it's going to stop ,

what the hell happened ???!

Did u torq the bolt back in in the proper sequence, and to the correct torq spec?

Mohammed

Yes , but without the torq specs
any ideas !?

you probably didnt torque them down enough and have a vacuum leak. losen them all up get a torque wrench and torque specs and do it right.

follow the right sequence of tightening the bolts too...do a search to find it

Mohammed
