kmpdx Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 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?

Len Dawg Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 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 .. ;/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Double check everything. If the smoke was temporary, it was possibly coolant the got into the intakes while dissasembling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Buell Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Yep, double check everything. It seems something didn't get hooked back up or hooked back up wrong. Double check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
