BTW, where exactly was the leak?? What brought it on??

Awhile ago when I went to clean my throttle body I ran into a little trouble with that project. One of the 4 bolts that connecting the TB to the shaft between the intakes snapped on me,leaving half of the bolt in the shaft....Well I ordered a whole new shaft and forgot to take the "o" ring from the old shaft and put it on the new one. Because I forgot about the shaft "o" ring there was a tiny bit of space between the shaft and TB=air leak.

You didn't by chance take any pictures...did you??

Nope but they smoked test my intake and whala,air leak ahoy!

I don't know if you posted something about this before on another thread?? Was it related to your O2 sensor possible issue?? Or maybe it was someone else that posted this??

Nope that was me,Ron Kaine noticed it and couldn't figure it out why it was pending and the other codes were already there. He took care of the air leak and everything went away.
