alright guys. I might be retarded. I just remembered that there is a gasket in between the manifolds that allows exhaust gases to pass into the intake manifold. I thought that was stupid and had to degrade engine performance so I put in a flat metal plate in between them so that air couldn't get through. That has to be making everything run really rich since the exhaust gases aren't there to balance it out. Is there a way to keep all of the air fresh instead of having old exhaust gases?

Now i'm going to have to take off the manifolds AGAIN and take em apart and replace that gasket. :-/ aw well. Now I can fix my exhaust leak.

What's the point of recirculating exhaust gases?

Thanks guys.
