Was going to remove my manifold and noticed it was missing, guess the dealer never put it back on from the previous owners service work. Anyone run their intake manifold without this thing? Should I get a used one?
Mine has been removed for years without an issue. And every manifold replacement I've ever done that has previously been done by a dealer is missing it as well.

Isn't that thing a huge pain to remove? ....or am I thinking of something else around the throttle body?
I replaced my intake manifold the past weekend and wasn't too pleased to find my support bracket was missing as well.... (after spending 45 minutes trying to find it) I'm guessing that it was never put back on after the dealer replaced the water pump? I'm guessing I'll ignore it rather than having the dealer put it back on.
That's surprising cause most dealers don't remove the intake manifold when replacing the water pump. The dealer I went to said they don't take the manifold off when replacing the pump
