Intake manifold repair help.

It's alive!

Except it's kicking a throttle position sensor code. It also hesitates when you throttle it up from idle. Also spits out a bit of smoke too.

What is the TPS code number?

Cam sensor was because I'm an idiot and forgot to plug it in!

Hey if you only missed one wiring connection out of the several dozen removed, then that's a win in my book.

Here is the diagnostic for P0122...

















TPS connector...

OK. I was able to figure out why the sensor was not functioning. It didn't have any of the internal parts! And me being the idiot I am, didn't check it before I installed it.
That problem is fixed, no more codes!!


But wait, there's more...

Before I parked this thing to work on it, it didn't smoke at all. Now however, there is an excessive amount of steam coming out of the tailpipe. This is after running for 30 min and driving for a couple more.

Sorry for the bad camera work...

So what do you think? Head gasket? Intake leak?

Anyone have some c4??[emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

Check your torque sequence on the lower intake again.

Checked it again this morning. No smoke. At all. No steam. Nothing.

Went for a careful drive. Nothing. Went for a spirited drive. Nothing. What the heck? Could the weather really have caused that much steam? Could there have been that much condensation in the exhaust system? I'm baffled at this point.

If your coolant level stays constant, then I'd think that your ok.

I remember mine smoked for a day or so but went away. I assume it was just from being left open for so long...I worked on mine intermittently over two or three weeks.
