botched up my replacement motor... water in intake and oilpan...
Hello, I am nearing the end of this ordeal but I find myself stumped yet again. I just swaped my 5vzfe for one that has half the miles. I can get her started but she purrs for a tad then starts to stumble and stalls out. I checked the spark plugs and they are soaked. Any ideas? Did I miss some sensor? Any help is greatly apprecitated. Have a great weekend. I pulled the codes and there aren't any... yet...

ok I am the world's biggiest idiot! I may have just messed up my motor. I got the vacuume and heater/water hose crossed under the trottlebody. I poured out my oilpan and I got milkshake... I'm pulling the plugs to dry out the cylinders... what do you guys suggest... I am at a loss right now

You might still be ok...
Lets assume that coolant did get piped into a vacuum port,Biggest risk would be hydrolock.If it didn't hydrolock,your in good shape...The coolant could whipe the brearings on the crank,If so much got past the rings and made the oil milky...so once its running I would flush drain and fill oil a few times,then change filter and fill as normal.top off the coolant.And replace plugs if you have not already.
The white smoke is probably from all the coolant that made it to exhaust,and residue in the intake.once you get it running and oil taken care of,I would slowly let it warm up,drive it for a few mins around the block a few times,then get it up on the highway for 10 miles or so and hammer it up and down 55-70-55,several times...That should get the residue coolant out of the cat/exhaust.
I doubt a headgasket unless it starts to overheat.If all is well after that no harm was done.

It is still steaming out the taipipe for letting it idle for 20 minutes on new oil. I will be going down to harbor freight to pick up a leakdown tester so I guess I will see from there... Man I really botched up good this time.
