Serious Issue

[Yiddie]

WTF!?!? Did a boost leak test found out I had an air leak coming from my throttle body, Got new oem gaskets, fixed it and now my car is running like shit! Idles rough and when I rev it, it sounds like its missing and somehow magically now I have white smoke coming outta my exhaust manifold area and muffler really bad.... No idea how i could be burning coolant from just taking off my throttle body and the part that is attached underneath the throttle body.

Any suggetions....

Did you get coolant from the fiav in the throttle body when you took it off? Or hook something back up wrong?

did you separate the throttle body in half (take the bottom half off)?

Yea he did

possibly pinched the gasket in between the two throttle body halves.

the part underneath had like an o ring gasket, which I didn't replace. But either way that coolant just recirculates. Theres no way it could get into the intake or make it get into the engine.

Noi coolant got into the tb, and it seems like the longer it runs the worse it gets. Im not sure what could of got hooked up wrong to cause coolant to do that. just took off intercooler pipe and my throttle body thats it.

If that section is leaking, where do you think that coolant is going? Directly in to your intake plenum! Which would be huge amounts of white smoke, makes way too much sense not to check out.

Water injection y0!

I'd be pulling the tb off and double checking.

most times if you separate the throttle body in two, the gasket between the halves swells and usually have to replace it.
