Default Whats Behind The Intake?

I have a really big vacuum leak, I recently pulled the head but I guess I left something loose back there. on thing I remember seeing was the map sensor and hose for brake booster, is there anything else back there I might have missed?

yes- there are several vacuum lines in the back of the manifold...I had one not connected and it made my AC blow out all the vents...these connect directly to the manifold in a "T" connection...

Unless you can see the open vacuum line, you'll most likely have to pop the intake again. You should only have to slide it forward a bit, not take it completely off.

Look with a mirror, if you have a wife or girlfrieng (or both ) with small hands they may be able to get it back on.

it depends- I had my intake installed by my local shop, so they did it without pulling it off...there is a 3/8" line back there they forgot to connect...you can hear a sucking sound coming from the back...it is very tight back there...I could not get my big hands back there at all!
