Initially it was questions about why it ran poorly on new injectors rhen evolved into oh crap leaking gasket and a rebuild.

New question is where does this plug in at?

That appears to be a bad link.... you know, you can upload all of your pictures here to the forum instead of using an external host.

​​​​​​​Maybe. The 3100 did it from various directions. At least the 3800 was predictable most of the time.

A few start/drive/stop cycles should help if it is going to. I don't think that'* going to though. I'd check for vacuum leaks and if none found, have someone scan for codes. Then report the codes back here.

Idle relearn: Block front wheels, apply parking brake, start car and put in drive. Allow to idle until it turns on the fan. This can take as long as a half hour.
