Ok did that. Now it appears to be droping, but the power of the engine seem to be off some and the check engine light flashed. I havent seafomed it yet. Maybe a lil gunk n coolant from the plenum change?

CEL flashing is usually an engine miss. How do your plug wires look, and how are they routed? (there is a TSB in the faq section on plug wire routing).

Never touched the plug and wires during the plenum change. Will check them out after scanning the ecm. I think its a vacume leak somewhere.

CEL flashing? I'd say clogged cat. Did you test or have it tested after doing the plenum? Unscrew the pre cat o2 and see what happens.

No prob.

Why not check the codes yourself? Unless it's a 98, you can check in this manner. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...code-list.html

After 2nd reinstall and still dealing with a vacume leak, i took it to a shop that gonna do it for 150. Man im beat. Should stress the importance of the gasket seals and clean surfaces. But all in all, i learned a few things.
