I cleaned the throttle body yesterday evening and filled a small t-shirt with goopey black carbon crap. I shot it back into the area too, not just that little silver blade. Don't know if I was supposed to...
After I reconnected the air filter and all (today) I started it up (hard to start) and warmed it, then throttled some. I can hear an air pressure noise in the front and the exhaust sounds like it's gargling.
See the YouTube video of the backend.
What did I do wrong? One of the MAF screws also broke on the way back in, but it is holding just fine (how do I get it out?)
What should I do?
Why didn't you take it to a garage that would service the whole top end of the motor. I did that on my last one and it came back running better than ever. It was a machine they hook up to the TB that deatomizes the upper engine.
OK, you should not have sprayed any in there. It is probably pooled there. Start the car and let it idle and get up to normal temp. The stuff should evaporate and burn off. Don't rev the engine or drive it till the gurgling stops and the engine runs normal. You don't want to take a chance of ingesting a slug of it an hydrolocking the engine.
The air noise might be air being sucked in between the MAF sensor and the TB if there is a gap because of the missing bolt. The only way to extract it is with an easy out.
OH SHIT, NOOO!!!!!
I let it run for 25 min and went out and sat in it. It started getting hot. The temp gauge went up and I could hear the sizzling when I shut it off.
All that white smoke makes me think headgasket. Or a shitload of carb cleaner being combusted. How hot did it get and where'd you hear sizzling from? Coulda blown out your intake manifold gasket too
Lbwd contacted me via PM's. Probably should have kept it here so everyone is on top of the situation. He sprayed TB cleaner into the manifold. It is probably pooled and that is what the sizzling is. I told him to idle the engine to heat it and burn off the liquid, but there must be a lot in there. I then said to hold the throttle plate open and stuff a rag in there to soak up as much as possible or get a shop vac and tape a small hose to the nozzle and shove it in there to suck out as much as possible, then run the engine again to heat it up and evaporate as much as possible before driving it so as not so suck in a slug and hydrolock it. I also suggested blocking the throttle plate open while it sat overnight to give the cleaner some ventilation for evaporation. I think he just got carried away with the cleaner and will be OK once it evaporates and burns off.
Thanks, Ranger.
Indeed I got carried away w. the cleaner
I have the shop vac and the custom tube and I am going to clean it in a few minutes. Will report back later, maybe tomorrow so it has plenty of time to dry out.
