Exhaust Manifold crack

[joeym4130]

Could a small crack like this in the exhaust manifold cause an idle problem? like sputtering and stalling? or no?

No, Normally an exuast leak is not going to cause an idle problem.

id play around with idle surge problems or getting new capaciters on your ECU.

yeah been thru about every idle surge thing possible haha.... as far as ECUs, ive changed it with another i got off the trader, but with my luck i now have two bad ECUs haha....

instead of just swapping the ecu, you could find a good one...then have the capaciters replaced. t hen try your luck.

 

[joeym4130]

yeah but finding a good one is a problem for me haha...i know no one with a DSM... Is it possible for the ECU to crap out even w/o leaking caps?? Because on both of mine, the ECUs caps look good/smell good...

 

[ericismyname]

i dont think so, but i could be wrong.
