95dev Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 On my 95 4.9 Deville, I noticed that the round gasket between my throttle body, and air cleaner cover was in pieces when I took the cover off. I can't seem to find that gasket anywhere, and I'm not sure what it would be called. I put the cover back on without the gasket, would it cause a vacuum leak? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I put the cover back on without the gasket, would it cause a vacuum leak? No, vacuum is on the other side of the throttle plate. Like BBF said in your other post, the worst that can happen is some unfiltered air might slip by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
