Re-check all manifold bolts for proper torque and sequence. Ensure the gasket was seated correctly and that no debris was present on the mating surfaces during installation. Verify again that the gasket is the correct part number for the vehicle.

Exhaust or intake leaks detected.

Inspect the manifold mating surfaces for flatness. Ensure all bolts are torqued to specification. The gasket may be damaged or incorrectly installed; consider re-installation or replacement.

Check Engine Light (CEL) remains on.

Scan the vehicle's OBD-II system for specific codes. Leaks in the intake or exhaust system can trigger various codes. Address any associated sensor issues or vacuum leaks.
