Gas in Intake Manifold

[jmrussell2003]

I was changing the plugs last night. I removed the EGR tube to get a better angle at plug 6, when I look in the manifold, there was a pool of liquid, turns out to be gas. Sound like a leaking injector?

Also, now the car idles like crap. I replaced the plugs with Bosch Platinum +4, the ones I pulled were Autolite Double Platinums. Only idles rough when it has warmed. It was doing it before, but now it is much worse. Any suggestions?

Best to go with the OEM plugs.NKG Double platinums.Others are known to cause issues.sparkplugs.com has about the best prices.

I thought OEM's were NGK laser plats?

When you say "Look into the manifold"Do you mean the cylinder ??Like where the sparkplug was ??

And the egr tube isn't blocking #6 cylinder. Are we talking about the 3.0L V6 in the J30?

The tube that bolts to both intakes and runs at the back of the engine. When I removed it, i looked in there on the drivers side of the engine. the gas was in there.

Ahh .. Those are the balancer tubes.Thats odd that fuel was in there though. Somebody might have an idea by not I.Thats just the air path before the injector is involved . weird.

You may have knocked lose or torn a vacuum line, or the plug for the maf isn't on tightly. I've got no idea though how you got fuel in there, you may have a leak somewhere, and thats never good.
