February 17, 20179 yr So I just got my manifold gaskets changed and now my Loyale is running like crap. I have to rev it high to get it to go and when it is idling it is idling lower than 700 and almost dies and then dies sometimes. It is also having difficulty sarting and seems to sputter. I was trying to fix a vacuum leak and not sure what the problem is. It does seem like it is not getting enough fuel. WHen I first started it last night it started and reved at 2000 RPMs as expected. It did seem like a lot of smoke was coming from the exhaust for a while but I thought that might be due to all the work i had done. the gas is pretty low but it was running fine in that aspect before I started work here is all what I did: Changed intake manifold gaskets changed many vacuum hoses replaced many parts of cooling system Any ideas where I should start? Thanks, kmpdx
February 17, 20179 yr Did ya plug the MAF back in? Reconnect the PCV? Check to see if the Butterfly is stuck open.. somethings we do tend to miss .. ;/
February 17, 20179 yr Double check everything. If the smoke was temporary, it was possibly coolant the got into the intakes while dissasembling.
February 17, 20179 yr Yep, double check everything. It seems something didn't get hooked back up or hooked back up wrong. Double check
February 18, 20179 yr Author Guys, I hooked up the 1&3 plugs backwards. Running much better now. Thanks!
February 18, 20179 yr Done that one before.. but ya didn't include that in your list of what ya did lol!
February 18, 20179 yr i just did a weber swap and it acted the same as your car. checked fuel pressure, ignition timing, cam timing, sprayed starting fluid and bured half my facial hair off. changed plugs 2 & 4 wires, and poof she started lmao. we have all done it!
