Anyone know off-hand what size the upper intake plenum bolt is for a 2000 DII?? These are the long bolts at the top - 4 of 'em. I need to replace one and wanted to see if a hardware store has them on the way home tonight. Local dealers(2 of them!) don't have them in stock!

Thanks!

Yeah, got a few from the dealer overnight. In the meantime(Thurs night), I picked up a piece of rod, turned it down on the lathe to the bolt size, and threw threads on the ends to basically make a stud. This worked for my wife to drive around on Friday.

I was getting a P0307 Code on Cyl 7 on Wednesday and had to fix the left rear bolt on the plenum. The bolt had been so loose it must have caused an intake leak and caused the code(and blinking CEL!). Will put the correct bolt in today.

For future reference, the dealer could VOR order them and have them there the next day.

LOL, for how much?

I buy similar bolts for things like DI alternators for less than $0.25/each.

For that matter a piece of all-thread would work just as well.

As for the OP, I don't know that this is gonna fix your misfire. I've been chasing a numbe seven on one truck for months and now have a one/two misfire bugging the shit outta me.

Great compression on number two, no combustion gas in coolant, gonna try a CkPS on Tuesday.

Good luck, I'm beginning to hate DIIs as much as P38s! Thank God I've got some DIs and RRCs to work on.

RRCs are proof God loves me and wants me to be happy!

LOL, I get stuff from the UK faster than my "Local" L/R dealer! AND cheaper including shipping!

BTW-your radiator is backordered (like damned near EVERYTHING else) until mid-next month.

I got one from AB, but that didn't fix it :banghead: I've replaced the thermostat, waterpump and radiator, yet water does not seem to be flowing through the radiator. The top hose gets very hot and the radiator stay cold. I'm pretty stumped on this one because its acting like its getting combustion gases in the coolant but I don't think it is. Another shop shoved a bolt in the old thermostat to keep it open which worked for about a month. I've also pulled most of the hoses to see if water would flow through them, which it does. I checked the intake for an extra thermostat being installed (figured that could be likely from a shop that forced a thermostat open:p ). Its quite the clusterfuck...
