QUOTE(lagos @ Sep 25, 2006 - 12:36 PM) [snapback]483565[/snapback] take of your intake piping and check for any cracks or leaks that may have happened from them taking it off. then check your IC piping to make sure it didnt come undone when they had to tilt the motor to get the tranny off. Yes the intake piping was the first thing I checked and tightened up. I went back and tightened all the others, no cracks that I can see. I replaced hoses that felt a bit loose. Replaced radiator cap and added injector cleaner plus an octane booster yesterday(bad gas?  ). As of last evening, I haven't had any problems. Will check the plugs tomorrow.Thanks -------------------- 3sgteing.

Just an update: for 5days straight, car has been running fine with no problems. Hope the problem is gone. Couldn't figure out what the problem was. But I tightened all connections, replace old radiator cap and while I was at it I cleaned the throttle body and IAC valve. Since this incident I have been reading a lot about the engine...learning component names, functions, locations etc...today, it was about the oxygen sensor
 .Thank you all for your help Eli -------------------- 3sgteing.
