Re: 99 4.3 Rough Idle, Low Temp, Bad Gas Mileage

not sure what you mean by the LMG, but if you took off the intake manifold and didn't use a new bolts and gasket kit, well that could be your problem.

go by the book on the torque pattern and specs

small head gasket problems are even harder to diagnose, do a compression check, check for water in the exhaust after a good hot run, and watch the coolant and oil for loss or contamination.
