Alright guys, i hope i didnt screw up that bad but heres what happened. I was gonna do an ls6 intake swap soon and 2 weeks ago i took apart my throtle body and egr. Yesterday one of my old buddies stoped by and wanted me to start it up so he could here it. I totally forgot about having the ******* parts off and i started the engine. It started ruff and then the idle went up really high and was bouncing off the rev limiter. Then i remembered the parts were off So today i started to take off the intake for my swap. After i got the intake off i looked into the ports with a flashlight and theres puddled of coolant in there. now what do i do?

well without a throttle body the engine would probably redline, and since there are coolant tubes that connect to the throttle body maybe you just sucked in some coolant from there...

alright, i already know where i sucked coolant from but thats not the problem. the problem is i have coolant puddles around my valves inside the intake ports. what do i do? what can happen from this mess? is my engine gonna be toast?

Well when my engine blew and i took it apart there was lots of water in the intake ports. Dont know if thats the case with you though.

well i just shreded the ribs off of the ls6 intake in like 10 min. with a chisel lol. its going on right friggin now. i hope if somethings gonna be wrong i'm gonna be able to know when i start it up after the intake is on.
anyone else have any ideas?

if the liquid is from the tb then i think you will be fine on start up. just a lil smoke maybe. i dont know about the start w/o the TB lol, cant say that i have done that before.

get all the water out of the intake ports/valves, water is not compressable and you will run the risk of pushing out a head gasket or somthing like that. just suck most of it out with a shop vac.

alright, i got the intake on and it started up. there dosent seem like theres any problems but wtf knows. when would i know theres a problem? another question, my oil presure is about 60. is that right? i dont think i broke the sending unit

i also broke a intake bolt on the 2nd one back on the pass side. think it will be ok without it?

Maybe, but you probably have a slight vacuum leak there, replace that bolt soon. 60 PSi oil is fine.

oil pressure is now 40. yeah the damn bolt snapped off and half of it is stuck in the hole. its throwing codes now. anyone know what p0102 - maf or vaf circuit low input and p0122 - tps/pedal position sensor a circuit low input is all about?
should i just get rid of this damn car or what. its been a bad day man

ok, so i talked to eastside performance from my area and they said i should be ok. said the engine should just burn off the coolant,it may smoke and smell for a while. also need to change the oil maybee a few times. The car seems to run fine for now. Also it is smoking a little. Hopfully it gonna be ok
