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!

 

Could be the alternator whining, and check for vacuum leaks.

 

See, I was thinking that something was locking up the belt at first but I took the belt off and was able to spin all the pulleys except the crank. I just don't know what would be whining from the drivers side

 

Not sure, the only things I would imagine whining is the alternator and power steering pump, but both of those are on the passenger side.

 

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.
