Hi all, my first post here. I did a timing belt/water pump/valve adjust on my Accord and I'm not sure I tightened the Intake manifold enough. Not having a shop manual, I torqued them to 20 ft/lb knowing it's aluminum. Not sure it's enough. Now I'm having a problem of not getting the motor above 3400 rpm's without it coughing. I'm thinking it's sucking air in from the Intake Manifold gasket. But I don't hear a vacuum sound. I've read the post about others not being able to get the rpm above 4000.
So, does anyone know the torque of the bolts/nuts that hold the manifold on? Thanks much. I'll let you know if it fixes the problem.
Just to let you know, the car runs GREAT, very smooth, and accelerates fast up to where it starts to "cough".
Thank you!
