E350 2006 has P0300,P0306,P0302 after replacing air intake manifold
After replacing air intake manifold, the engine starts but runs shaky and eventually it is hard to start. I also replace crankshaft position sensor. I have also recently changed all spark plugs and ignition coils prior to the air intake manifold work.
When I place the new manifold, I do use silicon to secure the two gaskets and wait for one day before install it to the engine head. I read from other threads that it could be the gaskets shifted positions.
I am also concerned that on the passenger side that the two fuel injection rail connectors may be got swapped. Can someone confirm this connection is correct?
two wires at source
The top two arrows point to the wires that go to fuel rail connectors marked by the other two arrows at the bottom.
If I recall those do NOT require any adhesive. And if used I would not have let it dry since it can leave an uncovered section that will not close by torquing the manifold.
Do you have copy of the WIS? From my reading (and I am only looking at the E320) the gasket is installed dry with no sealant. They give an short description on how to avoid misalignment.
What is WIS? The manifold gaskets have a few nail size notches that I apply some silicon to secure it. This should not create any gaps between, but since I use very small amount of silicon and attempt installing the new manifold two times, and it could move the gaskets.
As for vacuum leak, I watched another youtube video that will use smoke machine to check if leaking occurs. that seems to be a bit too professional and require new tool. I might just take out the manifold and retry if with new set of gaskets, it is quite a big job I try to avoid.
