ok now what?

[91SHO]

I bypassed the coolant line that is going into the throttle body and the IAB valve. Is there any place else that coolant can get into the chamber? I am going to pick up some more intake cleaner and try to clean out the intake again to get rid of any left over coolant. Maybe that is why it is still running like crap. It appeared that the coolant was coming into the throttle body or something b/c there was coolant droplets in the throttle body itself. So, where do I go from here. Please, I am considering any and all suggestions. I hope it is not a head gasket!!!

thanks again!

The trottle body is a long way from the head gasket and is upstream from it in terms of airflow. I wouldn't expect that to be a problem.

You might have a hose that is spraying under operating pressure..... Run the car with the hood open and see if you can see any leaks.

If you've got coolant drops in the intake tract, you have a real problem with a tubing connection. The coolant lines only go to water jackets around the TB, but the vacuum lines go straight into it. Try blowing through the ports to find out where this is happening.

I blew thru the ports and nothing. I pluged one end and blew thru the other and I couldn't hear it leaking or anything. It just isn't making any sense. I checked how I had it hooked up versus another guys SHO and it was correct. The only other place would be at the IAB jacket right? I am seriously confused!! What would my ehaust smoke look like if I was getting to much fuel into the chamber?

thanks

Would that mean that my intake is not sealing? Or what do you spdatt?

I don't see any leaks at all. I never have one this car , except in the plug wells but that has been taken care of.
