Hey everyone here's the problem im having i have a d16z6 motor and not too long ago I got a y8 intake manifold from a friend of mine that I decided to put on because i was told it will give you more horsepower so when i changed it I noticed i was leaking antifreeze from the part of the intake manifold gasket where the coolant goes so after getting stressed about the issue I heard from another friend of mine and researched for myself that there is no change in Horsepower using a y8 IM. So i just decided to put my old 1 back on but when I put it back on i noticed the car idling funny and fluid was still leaking so when i went to take it off again i noticed that fluid was leaking because I had over tightened one of the screws and cracked part of the IM so my friend had a d15 IM in his garage he let me use and after putting it on i still noticed the funny idle and i went and looked at another friend of mines to make sure all the hoses were in right and a few of them were mixed around so i redid the hoses and got everything right but i still had the funny idle. I was told it could be the IAC but i cleaned it and replaced it and its still idling funny then i was told there's a valve under the TB that has to be fully tightened and then loosened a notch so i did that and it fixed the idle for a few minutes until the motor heated up and then a friend of mine told e to check my spark plugs so i did and i noticed they were full of gunk carbon like deposits and i shined a flashlight in below where the spark plugs go to see if there was any gunk down there and there was some so i replaced the plugs but ever since i messed with the intake manifold in the first place there has been some white smoke coming out the exhaust but it hasn't been a whole lot. when I first noticed it i used the headgasket repair kit but there's no real sign that my headgasket is bad. Today I noticed it was smoking and hesitating like if it were running out of gas so i put some no leak an stop smoke stuff in it to see if it would help and i also checked the plugs again and saw that they had the same gunky deposits on them so i cleaned them and put them back in and the hesitating stopped but the no smoke stuff didn't seem to work at all cause the smoke that was coming out after I put that stuff in was even thicker and A LOT more than before

 

I don't remember reading in that giant run-on sentence but did you change out the IM gasket (and scrape off all the old gasket) and get all the hoses installed in the correct locations?

 

Yea. sorry bout the run ons
