intake manifold, What route should I take?

[Brickie]

So I bought a 95 grand prix with the 3.1L engine for $850 with 201,000 miles in November. Since then I put about $700 into the car and now I need a new intake manifold. The car still drives, but I'm broke. I was told there is an additive at like autozone that could make it last longer so I'm gonna get that no matter what I do. Should I sell the car asap hoping I get like $800 for it and just get rides to work while I save money for a new car, or should I keep driving it till it gives out completely and use what money I saved over that time with the money the junkyard would then give me?? Please any feedback will be greatly appreciated. (I only make like $580 bi-weekly part-time, the only expenses I have are gas and car insurance at the moment) I want to get another grand prix 98 or newer with the 3.8L

drive it until she drops. With the scrap prices here, I could easily get over 500 bucks for a car that size. Probably closer to 600 bucks even.

dam scrap prices here are low
you prob would see 300 max here

Too much NAWS blows the welds on your intake manifold.

good question.. how do you know for sure its your intake... could be a gasket or something

[Brickie]

I had a place check it out and they said it was the actual manifold, not the gasket unfortunately. I don't it's really really bad or anything though because they didn't say it was like cracked.

if youre positive its just a manifold....

check your oil to see if its milkshake like.

Likely it's intake gaskets. Totally normal on the 3100.
