   no, aint near the cable and that dont move i checked it, all i have to do is even rest my hand on the inlet where it say 16v and the car revs up to 2000rpm is very strange.

   Dear SirStewie.
   Only way to check to see if your inlet manifold gasket is " leaking " or
   " sucking in air " Stewie is to run your car at idle speed on tickover, and you
   need to get a tin of aerosol " Carburetter Cleaner " and spray it liberally onto
   the area where the paper inlet manifold gasket sits, between the manifold and
   the cylinder head. and also spray the inlet manifold bolts/studs or nuts. If
   there is leaking gasket, when you spray it with Carb cleaner, you will find that
   the tickover will raise itself upto approximatley 1500 rpm
   The thing to check first would be the tightness and number of studs
   nut/bolts, all bolts should be present ( non fallen out or snapped )
   To renew the gasket you will have to drain the cooling system as there
   is water/antifreeze that will come out of the engine, so you will have to renew
   the antifreeze aswell
   I hope this helps Stewie
   All The Best.
   Vince.

   1)there is no paper gasket between the manifold and head
   2)there is NO coolant running through the intake manifold
