Why would the intake manifold on my Ford Crown Vic suddenly split open and loose all of my coolant?
From 1996 through 2001 Ford had a problem with their plastic intakes. After losing a class action suite they reimbursed customers for a short while and offered a slightly extended warranty on the intake. Both have now ended but the 2002 intake was updated and can be retrofitted to prevent recurrence of the problem.
