Serious Issue
 

WTF!?!? Did a boost leak test found out I had an air leak coming from my throttle body, Got new oem gaskets, fixed it and now my car is running like shit! Idles rough and when I rev it, it sounds like its missing and somehow magically now I have white smoke coming outta my exhaust manifold area and muffler really bad.... No idea how i could be burning coolant from just taking off my throttle body and the part that is attached underneath the throttle body.

Any suggetions....

Re: Serious Issue
 

Did you get coolant from the fiav in the throttle body when you took it off? Or hook something back up wrong?

Re: Serious Issue
 

did you separate the throttle body in half (take the bottom half off)?

Re: Serious Issue
 

Yea he did

Re: Serious Issue
 

possibly pinched the gasket in between the two throttle body halves.

Re: Serious Issue
 

the part underneath had like an o ring gasket, which I didn't replace. But either way that coolant just recirculates. Theres no way it could get into the intake or make it get into the engine.

Re: Serious Issue
 

Noi coolant got into the tb, and it seems like the longer it runs the worse it gets. Im not sure what could of got hooked up wrong to cause coolant to do that. just took off intercooler pipe and my throttle body thats it.

Re: Serious Issue
 

If that section is leaking, where do you think that coolant is going? Directly in to your intake plenum! Which would be huge amounts of white smoke, makes way too much sense not to check out.

Re: Serious Issue
 

Water injection y0!

I'd be pulling the tb off and double checking.

Re: Serious Issue
 

most times if you separate the throttle body in two, the gasket between the halves swells and usually have to replace it.

Re: Serious Issue
 

x2 I agree. I had a brand new oem one put in a fiav block off plate. Ran for only a few thousand miles. Took the plate off and the gasket wouldn't even sit in the old grooves with out bunching up somewhere.

Re: Serious Issue
 

Where did you get the fiav block plate?

Re: Serious Issue
 

I took off the 2 coolant lines going into the fiav or whatever its called. and I just connected them to a valve so they just recirculate. It seemed to fix my problem with the coolant but yet again that part is just pissing out air, I have a oem o-ring gasket coming. I really hope that fixes the air leak. Also with my new throttle body gaskets, The tb that connects the air hose is still leaking...

Re: Serious Issue
 

You can buy it I am not using it. Send me a pm

Re: Serious Issue
 

How would that fix my problem? Just the coolant issue?, Wondering how it was leaking into the intake tho. My issue im having still is that fiav pissing out air. I guess i'm hoping that new gasket will do the trick but I have doubts.

Re: Serious Issue
 

You asked where I got no idea if it would help your issues. So I assume you wanted it sorry

Re: Serious Issue
 

I HAVE Bypass plates in stock at MAP...block off plates, I'm not sure about...shoot us a call if you need one...we can get the block off plates too...but I KNOW we have bypass plates

Re: Serious Issue
 

I put my gasket in the freezer overnight. shrunk it down enough to fit.

Re: Serious Issue
 

What is the difference?
Blockoff plate = block FIAV and IAV/ISC?
Bypass = block FIAV and retain IAV/ISC?

Re: Serious Issue
 

I'd personally run one of the bypass plates that block off the FIAV, but still allow you to run an ISC.
