Turtlehead Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 It sounds like it may be a bad gasket on the intake OR a vacuum leak OR a faulty thermo valve (usually either thermo valve A or B). Check all the vacuum lines first and replace any cracked or suspecious looking ones. Go to a salvage yard if you want to swap out the thermos cheap to see if that is causing it. Unfortunately, the more common cause for what you are describing often times ends up being the intake gasket. Just some things for you to think about...
