OUCH!!! Blown Intake Manifold gasket....

Well after my car has been running badly for the last 2 or 3 months I finally gave up on it and took it to the mechanic shop. It has been there for the last 3 weeks and I got a call today and was told all of the following:

1) Blown intake manifold gasket
2) 2 vacuum lines were leaking, and 2 vacuum lines were backwards????
3) 2 O2 sensors in the exhaust are giving wack readings
4) battery not holding enough charge for car to stay cranked
5) MAP/Barometric sensor gone out

Needless to say I think it was time for a tune-up!

Hopefully I will get it back and everything will be running right soon!!

Hmmmmmm, that might be why it had been running slowly

I'd hate to see that bill when it's all done!

Thats probably because the car has been sitting there for 3 weeks.
