“I had bought the car in 2008 and two months later the intake manifold(oem) developed a crack and has a result antifreeze was being burnt which caused a misfire on the 3rd cylinder and the check engine light then started to flash (indicated misfire) drove it home took it to the dealer and installed a new intake manifold which had updated features to prevent the incident from happening again the failure could have resulted in a blown up engine it was common in 1996-2001 Ford 4.6l 2v v8 motors.”
