| Maybe you could be a bit more specific about your car and the fault? |

| best thing for finding intake manifold leaks is aerostart.... just go easy with it cos saying it's volatile is a bit of an understatement |

What happened before the car started running like a pig - did it backfire?
Does it come back to life under full throttle or does it feel like cylinders are missing when the revs pick up?

OK - so it is an air leak for sure - did it backfire before it started running bad (My NL did this and blew the cap off the spare vacuum port on the underside of the upper intake manifold)
I would start looking at the condition of all your vacuum hoses first.

Mine did exactly the same thing. I think that would be a good place to start ! |

Mine did exactly the same thing last night, coincidence ????
It was the little curvy silencer part of the intake duct that is held to the shocky tower by a spring. It is held into the rubber intake pipe, between the MAF and the TB, with a hose clamp. Mine had come loose and it was leaking a s**t load of air.
I have since fixed the leak, screwed it back in tight and now runs great. |

Prolly have to make your own. All the V8s had the intake resonator up until EL. Not sure about AU - maybe worth looking into. Otherwise, anything you can make to fit on there should be fine so long as it all fits airtight. |

Or you can go and buy a Herrod "Power pipe" if you like spending money.
I have one on mine - but only because I couldn't find anything else at the time I was pulling the gas off my car - It seems to work allright.
