There are updated seals and sealed bolts to cure this. The intake manifold to head gaskets can leak vacuum (among other things) as well, but they are a less likely cause of P0171 and P0174 codes, and more time consuming to replace than upper plenum seals. The seals shrink esp. when cold, and cause a cold start vacuum leak sometimes accompanied by a rough idle. Toyota MDT in MO |

There are updated bolt seals and gaskets available. You can also replace the intake to head gaskets as they can leak vacuum, but to a lesser extent; the job is more difficult as well. The seals shrink quite a bit when cold and cause excessive vacuum leaks on cold startups, resulting in a rough idle or sometimes just the P0171 / P0174 codes. Toyota MDT in MO |
