    intake Manifolds

    I'll pull the covers this weekend... I've heard they can be noisy, but the sound they're making doesn't make me feel good at all, sounds like they are way too loose to me.

    So I played with the switch after plugging it back in and it came on! Low,med, high worked. Then the red gen idiot light came on. I switched it off and unplugged the blower motor again.
