HELP: Been all day trying to LOOSE the intake manifold—>STUCK!!?

Okay…got a 93 nissan quest..

Im gonna replace the intake manifold gaskets (upper and lower)

I did ALL everything the haynes and other manuals say…

My AEM cold air intake sucked up water during a huge rain storm, what to do?

Hey guys, well I was driving back from the movies last week in my Acura RSX and my car starting bogging down and stalled. I figured immediately the new Cold Air Intake a had installed that sits below the bumper had to be clogged with wet snow so I removed the snow and drove it home although the check engine light was on. It stalled one more time on the way home and I cleared it again and started it and drove it home. Well today I went to drive it for the first time and it started perfectly and sounded fine only I noticed the motor would bog at 6000 rpm when I tried to rev it high. So I check the motor oil and low and behold the oil looked like milk. So I’m planning on changing the oil immediately and I’m wondering if my car is hydrolocked already. It starts fine and runs fine except when I hit the gas (theres no check engine light on anymore either) but when I try to rev it high it bogs down (doesn’t stall though). It doesn’t make any loud clanking noises. A mechanic said I should be fine if I change the oil and a week from now he will come up and remove the spark plugs and injectors and clean it out. Do you think this is a good option or should I have it towed to a repair shop immediately and let them get to work on it asap. Do you think my engine is ruined from what I describe so far (hydrolock) or do you think it can be fixed since it still runs and there’s no check engine light? Any help is greatly appreciated I’m really stressing out that I may have ruined the motor.

Should I get a Short Ram Intake or a Cold Air Intake?

I have a 1990 acura integra gs. 2door. 4 cylinders and 5speed. I heard short ram is better for fuel economy but not as fast as cold air. I heard cold air can get water in it. can you tell me the pros and cons of each and how much they cost? I want to get more hp but at the same time whats best for the engine in the long run and mpg.

Did repair of fuel intake cause total engine loss due to anti-freeze leak into oil?

Have a 98′ Bonneville SSEI and have just been told engine is a total loss from anti-freeze mixing with oil after having the fuel intake repaired. Right after having the repair done at Meineke the car drove to bring it home, but the next day the car had no oil pressure when we came to a stop, and the check engine light came back on. Mechanic said they may have gotten water in the oil? and drained all the oil and told us we needed a higher weight oil because car was old. NEVER had to do this before and have never heard of putting a higher weight oil to fix an engine problem.The next time we went to drive the car it stalled – several times. We brought it to a Pontiac dealer who replaced vacuum hose. Car worked for 1 day (to and from work) and then lost oil pressure again and engine was knocking. The final diagnosis? Total engine loss and I’m pissed. Could Meineke have caused this damage? Did Meineke change the oil because they knew what was happening?

What can i do if some water might have gotten into my intake filter?

I drive a 06 Sentra SER. And i have a cold air intake. lately its been raining real hard for the past week. and i have still been forced to drive through it for about 5 days straight now. I haven’t ran through any big puddles at all (if any) yet.. But the freeways gets pretty hectic though….. I’m quite positive that i already took in some amount of water due to the rain, especially on the freeway. but the car still feels and runs fine.

If some water did get in….. Is there anything i can do to get it out? Like maybe FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER or something…….?

2001 dodge ram, turns but wont start, has fire, gas intake and exhaust?

Hi I have a dodge with a 5.9 l gas engine and last week it died on me… I was on the road and it died slowly I pressed the gas pedal and it felt like it was flooding when i pressed on it, could only idle almost, until it died completely thinking it was the fuel pump i changed the fuel pump and made sure its the right one for the truck. After changing it still didn’t start still, oil smelled really flooded with gas so changed the oil, changed plugs to make sure no fouled plugs also changed the gas to make sure there wasn’t water in it. has good fire there is ample gas on the plugs they actually get flooded no backfires, nothing can anyone help please?

Hydrogen gas injection through intake?

what will happen if you run a line feeding the engine with pure hydrogen gas (not HHO) from the intake?

will it reduce gas consumption and get better mileage?
forgot to mention the source of this hydrogen. lets say if you have an inboard hydrogen gas tank (pressurized hydrogen).

What component sends unused gas back to the intake on a Ford 5.0 EFI and is it belt driven??

I own an 87′ mecury cougar XR7…I’m not sure that “gas recirculation” is what it’s for…on that particular car it is located under the altenator….anyways yesterday the pully on that component locked up and now it’s trying to smoke of my serpentine belt… I need a little help…I know it isn’t the water pump, altenator, A/C compressor, or the Harmonial balance. The part in question has a little air modulator valve attactched to it with a little plastic vacum line with runs up to the passenger side of the firewall and connects to a box. I just for the life of me can’t figure out what is or what it is for I am braindead when it comes to an automobile, however, every verbal or written instruction I have ever received in regards to repair, I have had no problem following. So if you happened to own one of these cars back in the day ( I was 3), or just simply know your way around a FORD, PLEASE, read this twice before you leave it unanswered.

i bought a pair of muffs to connect the water to. it has a diagram that shows they go on the side.the motor appears to have the intake for water on the bottom. is this correct? if so, the muffs cannot be used. do i sit the motor in a bucket of water?

What Happens If You Feed Hydrogen Gas Along With Air In A Car Engine Intake. Will It Explode-?

I want to feed wisp of hydrogen gas from battery into air-intake, hoping it will reduce gas consumption. What can happen, can anyone suggest ?.
