HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD EXPLODING AND CATCHING FIRE. AS THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME, SOUNDS LIKE A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. MINE JUST HAPPEN TO BE IN THE DRIVE WAY, WHEN I WENT TO START IT I SAW SMOKE. SO I TURNED IT OFF, LOOKED UNDER HOOD DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. WENT TO START IT A FEW DAYS LATER AND I HEARD A REALLY LOUD POP, FOLLOWED BY SMOKE. I QUICKLY TURNED TO OFF POSITION. OPENED MY HOOD AND SURE ENOUGH THE MANIFOLD HAD EXPLODED. WHAT IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING? COULD HAVE CAUSED DEATHS TO OTHERS OR EVEN MYSELF, IF IT WASN'T CONTAINED. NOT EVERYONE CARRIES A FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!!!
