Your LIM won't be bad. It'* the LIM gaskets you're concerned with. Your LIM is fine unless it'* warped, but that'* not typical.

Yes, you should replace your fuel injector o-rings when you tackle all the gaskets.

Bill is Corvallis, OR.

yeah lim gasket should I just mark the overflow tank when its cold and watch to see if it goes down? I had a bad radiator cap that was leaking so I just replaced it, this could of been why the loss of coolant. other than what I mentioned to tell if its bad is there any other way?

If it'* black in color on the edge you can see, and you have DEX, it'* bad.

If it'* not Dex, but still black, and it'* over 100k miles old, it'* bad.

well the coupler and plugs are done no more rattle at idle still some at boost from a stop. also when im going 55 mph and floor it the boost builds up fine but the car just kinda falls flat on its face? any ideas? im going mon to have a live scan on it and have the tranny checked out but if anyone has any suggestions before then please let me know. once I get it back from the tranny shop and I see what thats going to cost me then ill deal with the lim gasket. also my oil smells like gas, I had a bad wire causing a misfire for about a week, would this make my oil smell like gas? thanks again for everyones help

Default gas in oil

the gas in my oil would it make my oil pressure low? also is there a certain weight of oil I should use to make the oil pressure better? like i said before the misfire in 4 for a week could that cause gas in my oil?

Yes, a misfire could do that, but poor compression is even more likely. Run what your oil cap says. Gas will thin the oil, so change it with what you should.

If you stll feel the need to raise your oil pressure, do it mechanically, not with higher viscosity. INTENSE sells an inexpensive oil pressure kit.
