    Water leak

    Removing the intake took me two hours the first time I did it on my GT 2000. The second time it took me one hour. Installing is a lot faster as you already figured everything out. Gaskets are reusable. Take a Haynes or similar and look for tightening torque and pattern. I used 20 lb-ft. Good...

    Heating A/C Problem

    Blowing under the windshield is the default position when there is no vacuumm at all. Maybe the main vacuum supply line got damaged or disconnected. Have you checked all vacuum lines on the engine bay side going in the car through the firewall? Maybe it got disconnected while doing some engine work.

    4R70W fluid change
