Being car does run.
For testing. I would do things to engine sensors 1 by 1.
Pcm should respond and give code for what you did.
I did this when learning on mine
Pcm is extremely smart

Well I am not so smart and I am 65 and dont know how to do these test and have to rely on these mechanics
.wish I had someone with your knowledge.
So when I goggled intake leak testing and symptoms and the mechanic did spray starting fluid and it did react the way it says when you have an intake leak. Am I missing something?
I dont know what caused the intake gasket to start leaking but I think it has for a long time and it has gotten so bad that now the car will hardly run.
I just wish I had the knowledge to take it apart but I dont.
Thank you
I’m pretty sure pcm would pick up leak as po171/174
Just the slightest leak on pcv line
The intake gasket is a re use gasket but age may play factor
No sealants are used and it’s not cranked down like old engines
Many threads on snapped bolts. These are just past hand tight with 1/4 in tools Bolts are tiny.
Did he check them?
Those codes weren’t for bad o2.No I haven't checked the bolts and neither did the mechanic.
And used to get those codes alot and I would just change the O2 sensors.
I will check the bolts for tightness.
Thanks
where in Oregon?I am in Oregon .
Look me up .
Just because you are 65 has no bearing on ability.
Should only mean you are tired of being bent over, and took the rains yourself .
Shit , i am old as dirt also ....
I dont think he did a vacuum test.Some do plug this line
Can’t say for you.
Did he do a vacuum test?
Pcv line elbows are so common to bust a hole
They also crumble and soften from oil
Woodburn 15 miles north of SalemI-5 corridor , outside of Roseburg . And you ?
I dont think he did a vacuum test.
How is that done?
