Hi everyone, hoping maybe I can get some insight. I've been trying to learn to do my own maintenance and something has gone wrong.
Had lots of trouble removing the intake manifold but finally was able to get it off enough to replace the spark plugs. Was going to replace the gaskets but turns out I had bought the wrong ones and decided to just put it all back together and do it another day.
I did drop two bolts that are rolling around somewhere at the bottom of the engine bay and I'm wondering if those two bolts are the source of my issue or if I have to go to a mechanic for further inspection.
The bolts that are missing is one for the throttle body (the other three are in place), and the other one is the little **** of a bolt that has given everyone trouble that hides behind the manifold closer to the fuel line.
Sounds to me like there is an air leak? No codes are showing up. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts? Currently broke and trying to save money lol.
