And lease check to make sure your TB isnt stuck open for some reason. Seen his happen plenty of times.

 

You think? It will rev all the way to red line. TB is closed.

It also smokes too.

I am using y8 tb, should I try the a6 tb?

Im sorry for posting this in gdd, ef gets no traffic and 92-00 is full of tards, and I need to be somewhere soon

 

Check all the hoses make sure they are in good shape and not torn or damaged.

Did you torque down your IM properly? If its revving all the way to redline u have a vaccum leak somewhere.

 

It pours thick white smoke and smells sort of sweet, maybe coolant getting into im stream.

 

 

 

vacuums are easy enough to check, just spray carb cleaner all over see whats up.
id check ur iacv also, the little valve on the back of the im that has two coolant hoses going into it.
and i beleive white smoke is coolant, but i always get em mixed up so id verify this

 

Thanks for the quick help, I got it figured out. esco you da man. I retorqued, it got a lil better retorque lil better.............. 10 torques latter its good. still idles a lil rough but I can figure that out.

 

let me guess, you didn't tighten the intake manifold enough?

Dont just torque them randomly.
Torque it to spec with a torque wrench to 17ft-lbs for each bolt in this order.

.....4...2.....3....5....
..6..........1...........7

 

Or so I thought...... Still does the same thing, I think it just ran out of coolant to burn. I am using y8 gasket. would a6 gasket been a better choice?
