Kinda bad this is my first post, ive been meaning to start being active but it kinda slipped past me. Anyways, now is as good of a time as ever. I took my throttle body out and cleaned it today. Probally the 1st time in 120k miles. When i put it back in i guess the throttle got stuck??? anyways, i cranked it and it INSTANTLY hit like 6k rpm before i could cut the key off. I fixed it and cranked it back up. Now it barely runs and nice bit of white smoke is coming out the tail pipes. When i took it off i got a bit of coolant in the intake so i thought it might be that at 1st but it isnt getting any better and the car wont really even run. There is also a bad squeaking noise coming from the engine, it just started with the rest of this. Help please

 

How long has it ran since this happened?

 

Maybe 2 minutes, i was afraid to run it

 

Did you line up the gasket right? You might run it a little longer to see if it doesn't go away.

 

I'll do that tomorrow when theres some light. Ill keep you posted, thx for the help so far.

 

No problem. I know how frustrating it can get when things don't go right after you have fixed it. [:@]

 

after 2 minutes of idling, the squeeking stopped, maybe was coolant on the belt. I'm sure it's coolant cause i can see the orangeish of dexcool when it dripps out. Still coming out.

 

Is it coming from your tail pipes?

 

Did you reuse the original gasket, go without a gasket, or get a new gasket for the throttle body?

 

I have a new gasket but(i just found out i didnt scrape the whole old one off), it was getting dark when i finished. Anyways, i just put some good sealant on it after i cleaned it really good, im going to wait 24 hours to make sure its cured all the way, that should fix it.I noticed it was dripping coolant out the throttle body when i filled the radiator all the way up so i decided it was the gasket. ooops. Not sure that will fix it but its a good start.

PS yes it's coming out the tail pipes
