[207edwards]

after replacing spark plugs and wires my car ran fine for about 10 minutes and after reving it a little it died and didnt start, turn over.. nothing. After checking the fuses.. fuse 30A (ignition fuse) was blown.. after replacing it with another 30A fuse it fired and blew again? any hepl would be great. thanks

Must have a short somewhere. Double check everything around where you removed the intake manifold and look for any bare wires. Good luck man.

You might have a short somewhere.

sounds like one of your coil packcs became un plugged or that your mas air flow sensor is loose or became unplugged , if its not plugged in your car will not start at all.he knew what i meant.

hey thanks guys ill check out any unconnected wires and grounds and let you know whats up. Also my car haveing a head gasket leak, would that cause the O2 sensers to misread and blow the fuses?

[WarmAndSCSI]

The 6G72 doesn't have any coil "plugs" that could become "unplugged."

You have a head gasket leak and you're worrying about THIS? That won't blow any fuses, but still.

yeah what i did when i had the intake manifold off replacing the plugs and wires, i had the intake manifold sandblasted and powdercoated and now im soon takeing both heads off and getting them pollished and replacing both gaskets.. is there anything tips or anything i should be careful of when takeing the heads off because ive never done it?

[WarmAndSCSI]

Okay, I really don't think you know what you're talking about. Are you talking about the valve/rocker covers or the CYLINDER HEADS? You can find plenty of information on replacing the valve cover gaskets, just use a light coat of RTV on the gasket as well to prevent future leaks.

yeah im repacing the cylinder head gaskets.. sorry about the confusion

I am really O.C.D. about a very minor seep from my valve cover gasket and i am going to replace it and was wondering if anyone would recommend a good molded rubber gasket brand.

[207edwards]

do you have the 2.4L 4 cylinder or the 3.0L v6?

[criz067]

3.0

[207edwards]

the second one down

He's just asking for the molded rubber valve cover gasket... Go to your dealership and get them. If you don't want to pay that much, just go to AutoZone, Checker, or wherever else and get a Fel-Pro gasket.

Another tip: the PermaTorqueMLS head gasket is identical to the OEM head gasket from Mitsubishi, but costs half as much.

[criz067]

Thanks for the tip... I'll look for that.
