ok so i installed it today. followed the directions completly, start up all i hear is clicking then something like a miss fire and then a rough idle. i checked the TB again and it was on straight. what else could it be ? any ideas? or is it just normal ?

and there was no cel light with it

 

Try taking it off and cleaning the intake ports on the head. When I did mine I noticed a lot of grim and dirt fell into the ports after taking off the old Mani. It was crusted dirt that built up around the old Mani that fell into the ports after it was removed. I suggest you clean your ports, check your seals and reseat the entire manifold to be on the safe side.

Good luck.

 

Yeah, there was alot of dirt on mine as well. I blew as much off as I could with compressed air like CED suggested and then took a few minutes to make sure that nothing ended up in the ports.

 

well i cleaned out the engine really well also cleaning the throttle body really well and the problem went away. the first time i cleaned it i guess it wasnt good enough. well its all good now thanks for the input guys and hack in the pm's

 

No problem.

 

is it a common problem with the 2.4 manifold swap?? cuz iam really thinking about getting one from crateenginedepot for my 2.2

 

What other mods do you have?

 

intake mod and thats about it and 2 12's in the trunk with a 1200 watt amp but that isnt really a mod

 

I would recommend going with a full exhaust system before buying the 2.4 intake manifold.
