i can replace the intake gaskets easy thats no problem. Just trouble shooting what it could be the truck still runs great like a new truck, but only every now and then it dose this its not a ever single time i stop and let it idle. The maff looks new nice and clean. Next time i get a chance im going to spray some stuff around the motor and check for some vacuum leaks. If its anything i have a feeling its the intake i can see where it is leaking oil i dont no why it would leak oil in these spots but who knows. This is the 1st ford i have owned. I can do and know anything with a chevy or dodge. This truck looks simple enough to work on. Another thing this truck has 235,000 miles on it im going to start cheep with checking for leaks. If i dont find any i will get the fuel filter. Then still know go i will replace all the intake gaskets and clean the TB.

 

Well my PCV elbow was the problem it was in bad shape. It came off in 2 pieces. Went to parts store 10$ later truck is running like a new truck But man it was hard to get my hand to the back of the intake manifold!!!
