Update on my car. As Swedecar stated I installed the wrong exhaust manifold gasket on the front(turbo) side manifold. My car doesn't have the SAI system so the gasket I installed had the holes for this system causing exhaust to leak right at the manifold which was pretty loud. Car runs much quieter now.

Now to the list of error codes I am getting. If anyone can explain better what these are and what causes then I would really appreciate it.

P1624 Shift Request for Gearbox failure
P0300 Multiple Cylinder Misfire
P1260 Throttle Return Spring Too Low
P1304 Misfire
P1251 Throttle Body Reset
P0741 Torque Converter Lockup

Now the list of things I don't want to admit but you probably need to know.

1. The car has been sitting inside my building for over 2 years plus close to another year with the previous owner. The only time I wish my gas tank wasn't full is right now as it is brim full. Should I drain it?

2. New spark plugs but cheapos. Whatever Autozone recommended.

3. Power steering isn't working and I lost the cap. I think the fluid is low. What fluid is recommended that I can buy locally? Where to get a replacement cap?

4. In my absolute stupidity I didn't put any transmission fluid in the torque converter. Will it fill up or do I have to unbolt the transmission again from the car? I really don't what to do this and thought someone told me it will fill up on its own.

5. My vacuum lines are not right. I am missing one and I need a diagram to sort them out. When I bought the car it was partially torn down. WIS?

In closing, it does seem like the Saturn Vue will work. You just have to strip it totally down to the block and head. The only issues I seemed to have were two or three bolts on the oil pan wouldn't line up. One bolt from the extender piece from the transmission to the axle was off. The extender seems to stick out of the transmission between an 1/8" to a 1/4" longer than it should. This really bothered me. I am not getting any leaks though.
