Horrible Engine My engine runs VERY rough.
It shakes the whole car, the intake makes alot of sucking noise
the exhaust manifold gets red hot, and it backfires.
This all happen after I changed the sparkplugs and wiring and took off the intake manifold and put everything back together what could it be?
