The only reason I pulled the intake was to replace the valve cover gaskets because they were starting to leak not to replace ANY THING ELSE an I'm planing on putting it all back together this weekend to run test an go from there an thank you all for your advice y'all have been a great help

Well I could just do a koeo test some but somewhere along the lines of doing the test on a car with most sensors unplugged (upper intake is on work bench along with the dist) just don't sound like a real good way to do test but I'm just saying
