tons of smoke

dr.gonzo! · September 19th, 2008, 01:21 PM

I took off my upper intake to put an adjustable fuel pressere reg. on and I bolted everything back up. but now I have massive amounts of white smoke and there is antifreeze coming out of the exhaust. Is there a vacume mistake that would cause this?

You only took the upper intake off? Did you mistakenly attatch a coolant line to a vacuum port?

lol me too. im about to change my head gaskets. any pics on what coolent lines would be mistaken for vacume in back behind the intake? this blows lol and there are no simple pics to help me out

Why change the head gaskets? If it didn't do it before you had the intake off then it is not the head gaksets. Its very doubtful that a head gasket went bad during that time. You probably have better chances winning the lottery.

i kno theres a coolant line that plugs in back by the number 4 cylinder onto the lower intake mani, perhaps u accidentally crossed that one with the vacuum line from the fpr to the fuel rail over by the number 8 cylinder.

just a touch. usually anything beyond the 2nd page in the tech sections are dead. but you probably did a search on your problem huh? oh well, no big deal. just watch them dates homie

rusty2407 · February 27th, 2009, 12:09 PM

haha exactly.

dr.gonzo! · February 27th, 2009, 07:16 PM

yeah its been fixed for a while

oh yeah....bump

When I was taking off the upper intake, I was going to clean the throttle body but it was corroded to the bolts real bad. So I got a little pissed off and tried to force the egr plate and throttle body off , then I said fuck it I will do it later bolted everything back together. It turns out that I cracked the gasket in between the egr and intake and I nicked the egr pretty bad. So when I started everything back up the lines that run to the egr were just dumping the fluid right in the throttle body. lesson learnt' lol
