Help please, changed my intake manifold and now
So I have a 93 del sol I got the skunk 2 pro series intake manifold and 70 mil throttle body. Im 98% sure all the lines are hooked up properly, it was hard to find decent vac and coolant line diagrams for the del sol so I was running off civic and crx videos which are similar but not identical soooooooo i spent like 3 days triple checking everything and thought everything is hooked up well. I go to start it up my idle is around 3k which is odd but my exhaust is quite white and thick and seams to be spewing coolant out of it. Any help would be awesome im so mentally drained with this install I just want it to be over lol.
This is a really simple installation... a useless upgrade, but a simple installation none the less. You should seek professional mechanical assistance OP. If you have coolant running INTO the engine, you are going to cause serious damage to the engine itself.
Thanks for the "help". I figured out what was wrong from a buddy, turned out to be something simple that I overlooked. Being it's such a "simple" install it's easy to over look things sometimes and you just need a extra set of eyes. That's what these forums are for.

Then add in the fact that you were unable to provide a quality set of photos showing ALL your coolant and vacuum lines from beginning to end.
And couple the fact that the PCV is so jury rigged and cannot be seen what it's connected to on the other end when it should have gone straight down right back into the breather box.
There are SERIOUS red flags in your post and pictures to indicate that these forums would even be of assistance. This last statement appears to possibly been confirmed with the arrogance you displayed in your last post upon receiving some critical criticism, of which I removed for your benefit moving forward.
Please take this criticism positively so that your may get quality assistance moving forward. Thank you.
The problem lies in that you were unable to present that you had the appropriate knowledge to do a fairly easy and straightforward modification.

Funny, you got someone more experienced than you to put eyes on your installation and they found the issue... you corrected it and now you are good. Sounds like you took my advice... and then came back on here to talk trash about me. A simple "Thank You" would have sufficed. Glad you got it fixed.
If you want others' help, take what is given and learn from it. If you want to come in here acting like you know so much but yet become defensive, you know where the door is. A major of the forum members in here have been wrenching on Hondas longer than you've been alive OP. If you don't like it, trade it in for some shitty VW. VWvortex forum is very helpful....lol.
