Opinion Needed: After Lower Intake Manifold Gasket

After Lower Intake Manifold Gasket
Hey guys, so after completing the lower intake manifold gasket replacement.. The car will start very hard with a rough idle and whine from the driver side of the engine and then stall out quickly. Spark plugs are in place and everything is hooked back up correctly (so I believe). I just don't understand what would whine from the driver's of the engine and cause it to stall out. This is the 3.4. Please help!

It sounds to me like you have an intake leak. Get a can of WD-40 and start the engine. Spray the WD-40 at the intake sealing area on the engine block and see if it affects the engines performance. It should smooth out or rev up if there is a leak.
