Something's missing out of my 3800's intake tubing

I have no idea what it is, it looks like it could be a sensor but im not too sure. It's just a whole in the top of the tubing near the manifold. Any idea?? Pics if need (tomorrow)

lol, the problem with local stores are the idiots that work in them. And they're not stocked for our cars too great.

Someone welded your headers closed on one side.

Heh that sounds silly but not too long ago in a snap-on tech article someone actually had that same situation. The individual pipes were welded to the headers collector but there were never any holes cut. Honestly though, I doubt that's your problem.

Do you know which cylinders aren't firing?

So how do you know you're only running on 3 cylinders? It's either injectors, or coils, or maybe coolant is leaking in your cylinders because of a bad gasket. Maybe it's from bad spark plugs, or plug wires.

Sadly no :( The 3800 is down and we have no idea what wrong with it. It tries to get up and go but theres something holding it back. Probably many things seeing as how it sat in a junkyard for a while.
