Default Re: Pulled plenum...lots a ??'s

Get mad phooey
Some of us love this sh!t

You didn't have to pull the TB we forgive you this time,since it's your first time,damn virgins J/K

If Plenum gaskets look ok reuse.
Oil in the plenum is common just sit it up right for it to drain or spray some brake cleaner into it but make sure the hoses and MAP sensor are off.

Water in the intakes/cylinder for safety pull all the plugs and crank the motor.

Check injectors (Ohm check) with a voltmeter inexpansive one from Radio Shack

Check your wires just in case they are chewed up from mice (common) i would replace them for $50 since plenum is already off.

If you don't feel confident on drilling a hole take an air hose and blow out the drain hole (under coil packs and starter have to be removed make sure battery is disconnected before taking starter out)

You can also check coils.(do a search or check manual)

Also check/do what Guinnessdood suggested
If you see oil residue around the breather box (yes with the 2 big hoses) do what guinnessdood said.

Vacuum pump can be bought at Sears for around $60

If you need a TB gasket i might have on laying around $15
