Are you sure the gasket's blown out?
Maybe the manifold bolt(s) just needs to be torqued to spec......

Are you sure the gasket's blown out?The Fleetwood has a bad exhaust leak upstream of the left 02 sensor from the exhaust manifold flange. It's tripping a lean code which I'm sure is causing the PCM to add fuel to the left bank of cylinders. Car's running like garbage.
It's freezing up here, and I won't get around to replacing the flange gasket for a little while (no room in garage = PITA..) - question is, I know it's not ideal but if I reset the PCM, unplug the MAF and run in Speed Density will I be better off? Other than a MIL, and slightly worse mileage, I'm assuming the car will at least run a little smoother..
EDit: it occurs to me that unplugging the O2 sensor and forcing it into closed loop might be a better alternative until I can get the gasket done..
Thanks for the advice guys..Are you sure the gasket's blown out?

Yeah......you'll be able to feel it leaking if you had loose bolt(s) there, too......Yeah, I know the gasket's blown out - I can feel it leaking there........
