Replaced intake gaskets now runs bad

Hello,

Okay, this is definitely a problem with the coolant mixing the engine oil. It is probably being introduced into the combustion chamber through the intake manifold gasket and then pushing some of it past the piston rings and into the engine oil that way. There is a possibility though, that your intake manifold might be compromised by a crack or something of that nature, causing this condition. I would redo the intake manifold gaskets and reinstall the intake manifold. If there is still a problem then I have included a guide on testing the intake manifold in your vehicle in the diagrams down below. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Okay, the intake gaskets have been replaced again and seated correctly. Have not done a compression check but newest odII codes are: PO174,PO193,PO113,PO401. going to removing some of theses items now. any advice? No oil and coolant mixture and been flushed. Clean oil.

Replaced intake gaskets stated in a previous question. Now have low compression in 2 cylinders. Would this cause the rough idling, stalling? It was not running this bad before this repair. I agreed to the repair because it was leaking.i can barely afford the parts let alone labor. my brother works for food.;)

So compression check resulted in both cylinder 4 and 5 register ing negative compression. #4 was -42/50 #5 was - 37/42. Is it worth it for me to even fix this problem? I am pretty sure that all in all these cylinders are froze or stuck shall we say.

Hello,

There Is no way for a vehicle to have negative compression. You might want to rent a compression gauge from your local auto parts store, like AutoZone, which is available for rent for a refundable deposit. Here is a link explaining how to do a compression check below:
