So in the process of removing the intake manifold instead of the hose coming off the pipe for the idle valve, the pipe itself came out. Is this a common thing or does it look like it broke off from the inside??
Wondering if this might pop out under boost... Could be a bad thing.
Yep, micro wire wheel the intake manifold where the fitting came out, wire weel the fitting, clean everything of oil and grease very well with some sort of degreaser, and JB Weld it back in there.
JB Weld was my first thought as well. I have 2 spare intakes and both have tight fittings so I wasn't really sure. Never know what to expect being 6th owner lol.
Thanks!
