My engine sounds like it's misfiring and I have NO (0) oil pressure. I have no idea where that valve is or what it looks like. Anyone have an pics of it?

if u dont have AIR/EGR, u dont need that valve/solenoid. it is for the AIR injection system

something else is causing u to misfire and have no oil pressure

Nothing you do with your intake should be able to affect your oil-pressure. (Unless you dropped something into the heads).

The misfiring could be because of a vaccum leak somewhere around the intake.

speaking of vaccuum leaks, check the vaccuum port on the back of the intake and the hoses coming off of it. the vaccuum purge valve/solenoid u are missing connects at a T fitting on the back of the intake

Ah, doh, why didn't I think of that? That's the most common thing to go wrong when doing an intake swap...

Yep, be very careful.. And lift up the rear of the intake when you're pulling it out.

ya it helps to have a few extra hands around, have someone unplug all the **** from the back as u lift the intake all the way up till it hits the cowl and then pull it towards u after u have lifted it up slowely...evn doin it slow and carefully can break the sensor, they sometimes snap as easy as a toothpick....just take ur time
