Hey guys, i had a coolant leak from a hose below the throttle body. Removed it to make my life easier but when i put everything back together it runs rough and coughs throughout the rpm range. Anyone have any expierience with this sorta thing? would a intake leak cause this?

LD

yes, a leak would cause that. afm to T.B., T.B. gasket, T.B. to air valve, air valve to air chamber, also, is your air valve wire plugged in? coolant full and burped?

i might need a new tb gasket, what is the air valve? air chamber? and air valve wire? coolant is full and burped.

I'd post some fsm pics for you if I knew how. try doing a search

So i went back and double checked all my work and all the hoses are attached correctly and no air leaks. I then was thinking maybe some cyclinders are dead so i one at a time unplugged each spark plug. number 1 and 3 are dead. had no effect on how it was running when i pulled them.

I shorted the battery positive and grounded it to the intake while i was attaching the throttle body last night what did i fry?

LD

determine weather you have spark to those plugs first. if so, you could have loose injector connections, or you may have melted 1 or more injector wires, or worse.

swap the coil w/ another one and see if the dead cylinders move w/ the coil
