Hiya all!

I can move the connection side to side where the Idle Bypass Pipe goes into the front of the intake manifold.

Is this normal???

Thanks!

Bob

Hi,

It can be normal if you are able to rotate it either clockwise or counterclockwise. However I doubt if it is normal to move it side to side.

This pipe is made out of nylon with rubber coating where it meets the manifold. Could it be cracked or so?

Regards,
