I have no morning after regrets, and the buyer was happy, since he already owned a donor car. Two needy cars will make one daily driver, with the one I owned being the survivor.

#5630 of 5658 Repair cost on a Chevy Intake Manifold by mmaxson

Feb 25, 2013 (8:33 am)

I have aChevy Impala 3.5 LS with just under 90k miles and am being told by a repair show that I need a lower intake manifold issue with leaking coolant. apparently this is common in this size engine. does that sound reasonable? How about a $1700 cost to repair?

Depends on where you live and what all they replace, but offhand the quote sounds pricey to me. I'd get a second quote at least, maybe 3. You might even inquire what the dealer charges--if THEY are lower, then you know you're being jacked.

It sounds like some wire in the harness is touching ground. The problem with this type of thing is.....where? Perhaps the switch itself? Has that been replaced?

No it hasnt been,i'm gona change it today i know that small plug with wires attached coming off the switch is gona be tough to get to but i got to get it done.I'm just wondering if the size battery has anything to do with it burning,I got another battery and done ok for about 3 weeks,then started again.The one i got is one of 3 it called for,but it's not a long battery,the one in it wasnt.

The "A" prong in the switch is somewhat discolored,but not bad..i'll change it and see what happens as i'm about out of options besides replacing some wires.I thought about a bigger guage wire for Pin "A"..but then i don't want a drive a fireball waiting to ignite..lol
