Scott Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Not really much we can do to help bud. I can only suggest stripping it back and putting it back together via the manual, being sure that each nut & bolt is accounted for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 ahh is there a manual about for this scott? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Does it not come from the little brace at the front of the manifold? actually it looks like the brace bolt under the manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lude Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 hi mate, ive had my manifold & throttle body off to recently, that looks like its from the brace that goes from the manifold to the bottom of the engine. check also the braces that go inside the manifold to where the fuel injectors are.
