What is your question?
I recently replaced a intake manifold on my 92 Chevy Astro, now it will not start all it does is crank over and sometimes back fire. I have a suspicion that it's a throttle body gasket because I reused the old one now it's leaking bad. I just wanted an opinion before I move one.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Does not start
How long has your 1992 Chevrolet Astro had this problem?
2 days

Hello, yes, a throttle body gasket that has failed would allow a lot of "un-metered" air to get into the intake manifold. If this happens, you'll never get enough fuel to mix with the air, causing a really hard start if the engine is cold especially. Always repair the most obvious thing before doing something else. What operation were you performing when you "reused" the throttle body gasket?
