I just installed a skunk2 intake mani on my 95GSR. Will not run worth a **** now, throwing c0de 2-4, IAC. IAC seems fine replaced it with another off my parts car. same problem. While installing, My evap purge control solenoid valve wiring harness plug broke and i clipped it in, possibly the wrong way, pulled out a harness diagram and it shows a relationship bt the iac and evap solenoid. I plan to rewire that plug and see what happens. Its idleing choppy, then revs to 4k and stays there for a while. All vaccuum lines are ran correct. Gotta replace the IM gasket cause, i didnt get all of the old one off. Its leaking coolant out of the mani at that spot. Shouldnve rushed through that. Any one with some helful input, I could sure use it. Thanks, Jason

 

How did you go about obtaining those error codes? What is AIC? Did you take the proper steps to get your fuel pressure back to normal after the install? Did you move the distributor at all? You mentioned that you saw some coolant leaking out of the manifold. Are you certain that the coolant is not coming from in-between the head and the block. Sounds like a blown head gasket. Make sure that there is no vacuum hose leak.

make sure you just didn't accidently switch the plugs... You wasted your time with the install if you didn't remove all of the old gasket. a blade is your friend. if your idle stays at 4K rpm, then <FONT SIZE="10">hello!!!</FONT>... you have a vacuum leak somewhere.

he checked for the code by sticking a paper clip in the plug under the glove compartment.
He is reffering to the IACV=Idle air control valve

why would he need to get proper fuel pressure back? please explain...

don't be so quick to assume that the head gasket is blown.

 

Worked on it today, No more leakage from the coolant inlet and manifold. A nut was not torqued down completely. Replaced the gasket, and got all the old off for sure. No leakage and the vaccuum lines are correct from what im seeing. Definately making progress. But im still having problems with the IACV, thats the cel its throwing. Idle fluctuates between 1k and 1750k, pretty choppy. Fuel pressure is fine. If anyone can think of common errors in the vaccuum lines or plugs, shoot me some info. Thanks

 

make sure you just didn't accidently switch the plugs. did you remember to bleed your coolant?

To install a new Intake manifold, you would have to remove the original. One of the steps in this process is to relieve the fuel system pressure. Now, if you have relived the fuel system pressure it might be a good idea to.....

Get it?

You seem to be very confident with yourself. You feel as if you are right. Unfortunately you have made a mistake. Somehow you convinced yourself that I had made up my mind about the head gasket being blown. I know you read the questions that I asked before I made that suggestion.... The purpose of those questions was to pin point where the problem lies.

I mentioned the possibility of a head gasket leak because of this statement made:

"Its leaking coolant out of the mani at that spot."

So I followed up with this question in an attempt to eliminate a blown head gasket as the cause of his problems:

"You mentioned that you saw some coolant leaking out of the manifold. Are you certain that the coolant is not coming from in-between the head and the block."


I don't know why you got so emotional about stuff. Perhaps you are a woman who is experiencing symptoms from your monthly menstrual cycle. I just hope that things get better for you and that you can calm down a bit.

P.S. "reffering" is spelled "referring"

 

Good job guys, now that we figured out who said what, perhaps we can move on and help the guy.

Please only share FACTS on this tech forum. I have installed 2 skunk2 intake manifolds on a OBD-1 gsr and a OBD-2 gsr this past week. THERE IS NO NEED TO 'RELIVE' THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE BECAUSE YOU REMOVE THE FUEL RAIL AS A WHOLE. Do you own a skunk2 manifold? Have you eve even seen one in real life?</FONT>

<FONT COLOR="red">You are getting the guy worried about nothing. Why would his head gasket magically blow from the skunk2 mani install? He already said he didn't clean off the old intake mani gasket.</FONT>

<FONT COLOR="red">Actually you are the only one getting BUTT HURT and emotional here. I wasn't flaming you or anything. If I needed help on my car the last thing I would want is for someone to give me the wrong information on the web.

P.S. You sound angry like you pissed on yourself. Or should I say 'RELIVED'?</FONT>

The samething happenend when I put the Skunk2 IM on my LS. What I did is checked the little gasket on the IAC, cause I've heard that can make it do the samething, it was fine so what I did next was I cleaned out the IAC to get all the black crap out and clean the little screens with sensor safe carb cleaner and put a little permatex on the gasket and put it back on and it was perfectly fine after that. hth

 

Hey I just fixed this same problem. Odds are your vacuum lines and everything else is correct. The problem with mine ended up being my throttle body not sealing correctly, so my iacv was getting too much air. Did you use a new gasket for the tb? It might be worth your time to check that out.

 

yes i agree with this guy ...

 

yea I also just installed mine skunk2 Im with a jg TB. Things turned out pretty good. I had a code 7 ( tps) when i first started it but now it runs pretty good. Does anyone know if port matching is required?

 

BCRUZ, right on.
made me LOL today, thanks

 

Got my problems with the Skunk2 worked out pretty quick, just havnt posted on it lately. Turne out all of my sensors and vaccum and coolant lines were correct. I was throwing te IACV code because the mani was leakin around the head. A few small spots of old gasket were left, so I pulled everything, scraped it to a polish shine, slapped on a new gasket and it runs great with the ITR cams. Thanks for the help fellas. Later.

 

no prob... you're welcome.

funnest thread evarrr!

 

Yeah that bitch *** gasket wasted alot of my, time. I wont be doing that **** with a droplight next time. LOL
