Posted to Ford Driveability on 3/24/2003 10 Replies

Ford says the intake gaskets are leaking causing these codes. this has a metal upper and lower intakes. unlike the plastic ones that i know have problems with the o rings leaking. does anyone know if these 2.5 engines have the same problem? thanks , jake
