I bought my LGT a month ago and it started throwing codes within the first 200 miles of owning the car. So I checked the codes and got system bank too lean, and cylinder misfire on all four. I did some research and found out this is a common problem so I decided to spend the $25 and do the replacement. I have driven about 15 miles and so far so good but I just cleared the codes so I think it's too soon to tell. The one thing I am worried about is if the previous owner just kept clearing the codes or never cleared them and the potential of engine damage.
Two things I found out to be very helpful:
1.) Have someone help pull up on the intake manifold.
2.) with such little clearance on the driver side i found it easier to try and align it in the groves with pliers and then pushed the manifold down to get the gasket to go in.
