That is exactly what mine look like, only without the coating flaking off. Someone before me must have doubled up for on the gaskets and I just never realized. I suppose I need to go back and confirm that its leaking now with the single gasket in place, although it does sound like its leaking...

So I had the MLS gaskets in there and removed them. I had two separate gaskets removed from the upper plenum (2 halves each) and just a single two piece gasket removed from the lower. I am replacing them because there was a lot of carbon or oil buildup on the plenum around the seams which I’m...

Went to replace mine with the felpro set due to an expected leak and there were two of the metal gaskets between the two halves of the plenum (upper interface) but just one at the lower interface between the plenum and intake manifold. Should I be doubling up at the upper location? I have found...

Been having similar symptoms as the OP and even after cleaning and checking the IAC valve and cleaning the throttle body I am seeing the same thing. Did this do the trick for you or did you find it was something else?

I've got a '98 V6 I need to clean the IAC valve on and will replace the TB gasket while its off. Looks like the IAC gasket PN is 22215-62180, can anyone confirm that fitment and know the part number for the TB gasket? Looks like it may be different than later 3rd gens? TIA

Just did a drain and fill with a new filter and put in Valvoline Full Synthetic Import Multi-Vehicle and after reading this thread I am starting to think its the wrong fluid. I had some hard shifts and slipping previously which I thought were due to low fluid levels but it has seemingly gotten...

Been wanting to do this for years on my wife's '98. Hopefully this video will motivate me to get it done.

Appreciate the documentation and notes on what to remember. I look forward to seeing some photos. My wife's '98 SR5 sounds like its in a similar boat, I have had to add an inch or two to the coolant reservoir every couple of weeks for what feels like years now. Recently, we did have the heater...

I know I’m reviving an old thread here but I just had this break off on one side. I was able to order a replacement thanks to the info above but it won’t be here until end of next week, does anyone have a decent way to bypass or fix this for the time being. The ‘98 is our daily and this valve...

Thanks for the write up and all the good tricks. I need to replace the booster in my wife’s ‘98 this weekend and am going to attempt to find one at the scrap yard, does anyone have any good info on what to look out for when picking a used one? Thanks in advance.

I know I am reviving an old thread here but my '98 just failed smog with VERY high NO numbers. I am curious if the steps Reina initially took will be enough or if I have a bigger problem somewhere. I could not seem to find anyone else that discussed having such high numbers with no other...
