I just installed a new Skunk 2 intake manifold on my b16 and its running like ****!! I used new gaskets but it sounds like there is a leak coming from the throttle body has anyone had simular problems, or ideas on what the hell is going on?

 

I installed a skunk2 pro intake and throttle body on my b16 '96 del sol and haven't been able to get it running right either.

Bump

 

how long have you been having this problem?

 

Since i installed it.

I am getting alot of white sweet smelling smoke out of the exhaust.

 

coolant? did you use new gaskets?

 

Yepper new intake and throttle body gaskets.

I'm gonna pull all the connections this weekend and make sure they r right but i think i hooked it all up right.

 

same here, I gotta go back through and make sure the bolts that hold the throttle body to the intake are tight. That is where I think my leak might be.

I used the throttle body gasket from skunk2 and a factory intake manifold gasket.

TPS voltage should be .5 at fully closed and approximately 4.5 when fully open right?

I have an 99 Si and I bought a Skunk 2 intake manifold and the only problem I had with it was after i was pretty much done I noticed I put the throttle body gasket on like upside down or something. That made it run like straight ****. took it back off and then turned it to the right way and everything was perfect.

 

Yup...throttle body gasket is crap. Its not cut right and I ended up making my own.

 

Im gonna check it tonight. thanks, hey was it a honda gasket?

 

I dont remember...but if you look at the gasket where the fast idle screw is...you will see that it does not match up. Either cut a slit or make a new gasket.

 

Went through and checked all the wires and tightened all the bolts and its running alot better now. Gotta check the throttle body gasket and hopefully it is running right after that.
