Urrgg, looks like I popped a lower intake manifold gasket on my way to work this morning in my ole 02 F150. Man I need a garage, lol.

I've replaced an intake and gaskets on a 4.6 Mustang. It was fairly simple, and I'm no mechanic. I didn't have a garage at the time either haha.
 
Popped an intake gasket or the actual intake itself?
What issue do you now have?

Other than sounding like an old tractor, lol, it has air pulsating up around the side where it bolts to the block.

What's that? A bad intake and/or gasket on a 4.6 Ford? Replace the intake while it's off. Save yourself some time in the future.
 
Ok, now that I've had a little time to think about it, and actually mess with it today, it blew the #3 plug out of the head. The more I thought about where I felt air coming from, it then hit me about maybe being a plug. It didn't break the coil pack, or knock anything loose. I took off the bolt, and pulled the coil pack out with the plug still in it. Time to heli coil it and go on.
