Hi all

I recently put a KA24DE from a 96 240 in my car because my 92 ka went out.

I was told that to make the swap I would need to swap over basically everything, main things including the 92 intake manifold, the 92 exhaust manifold and the 92 distributor, which I did.

The car runs, but it doesn't idle. The problem was identified as being a vacuum leak of some sort from in between the intake manifold and the head itself. I recently installed a new gasket, but that didn't seem to do the trick.

Maybe the problem is that I have the wrong gasket? I am using a gasket for a 96, maybe it's different? I thought the intake ports were pretty much identical.

Any other reason air would be able to get into that area? everything is definitely torqued properly, all bolts in place
