Yeah and I lied it was dark it's just a slight oil residue wasn't pooled up . My LIM was done carefully and has no leaks it was the uim leaking. I am replacing my UIM and cracked egr tube, ATP UIM . Broke an injector clip off . I'll probably just zip tie that

Got it out , now I see ,coolant in 2 of the LIM ports but not to the top of the ports . Does that mean I have to replace the LIM gaskets again ,and what's the plastic clip that goes into the UIM connected to the brake booster hose I snapped a clip.

And I have to find my reduced stovepipes but if I ...

Can I take it our without taking out the LIM the aluminum gaskets and sealant were put in less than a year ago I'd rather not rip all that out .

Sweet will try that . Any other suggestions let me know. Cleaned the hell out of tb last night . Got a used egr might just buy a new one . What if vice grips don't work ?

- EDIT FOR BIG FINGERS.

Yes sir LIM is solid, stove pipe it stuck pretty good any ideas on yanking it out? And do I need a gasket or sealant for the new one?

Help guys need to get this fixed asap

I had a cracked egr tube with a sizable vaccume leak so I was going to replace that noticed a tiny bit of coolant around the egr tube bolt . Once I got the Throttle body off I saw that ther was like a build up of melted plastic from the UIM around the stove pipe edges .

Did I mention I did the UIM ...

UPDATE : Snagged a scanner so scanned and I had 3 codes, one was a bad tps and the other 2 were coolant temperature sensor codes ,so i erased them and went for a drive and check engine came on again . Hooked up the scanner same codes, started it and Live data was reading coolant temp at -32 degrees ...

Right on I pushed all the vacation lines and checked a few things seems to be resolved now.

Now the cooling fans are constantly running though from when I start the car until I turn it off. It's 32 out lol.

The temp gauge is working though so I'm guessing it's not the coolant temp sensor under ...

Came out to take it to the store and it was cranking but it really didn't wanna start this time i had to press the gas a little while it cranked to get it to start, it started nicely earlier. Any ideas? Also if I press the gas in while in park it stays high revved even when I let off and it will ...

Thanks for the help I changed all plugs and wires ,ran to O'Reillys got a 2 dollar gasket that fits the actual thermostat ,ran it til it was hot ,bled the thermostat until it was a straight stream of antifreeze, let it cool, filled the tank back up and took it for a drive. Sounds beautiful so far ...

GOT IT RUNNING holy white exhaust lol

I started it and let it run for a min it stayed running sounded good for now. I didn't let it warm up reason being I could see the thermostat bubbling air out so the paper gasket didn't seal it is there suppose to be 2 gaskets or did it not seat proper any help ...

Finally got to pulling the plugs and cranking the engine. It cranked. When I pulled plugs coolant dripped out of cylinder 6 and dumped out of 1 . Turned on camera and recorded and when I cranked coolant sprayed everywhere from cylinder 1 mostly.

Reaks like gas maybe I should pulled the fuel pump ...

+1 on checking the battery for a charge. Anytime I do LIM gaskets, I usually pull the plugs and roll the engine over a few times just to make sure no coolant spilled down into the intake ports during the job. It's not too difficult to do, and for the added safety of not bending a rod if it really ...

It does not crank it makes a single quiet click noise once like it wants to crank but cant. I don't have a charger, the battery was new about a year ago but it is from Walmart , and when I did the work I had the negative terminal disconnected for about 4 days and it was about 15 degrees every night ...

To rule out that it isn't hydrolocked, you can pull all of the spark plugs out and turn the engine over by hand a few times (or someone can crank it in the car, but any coolant will spray out that's in the cylinders). Usually if it is hydrolocked, the starter will click since it can't overcome the ...

Haha as a matter a fact that was the last plug I put in I almost did miss it. But I plugged that in any other ideas? Its snowing bad again so it's gonna sit at least its back together and fresh oil and coolant in the radiator and tank now just need to get that circulating through the engine by ...

Got it put back together and went to start it and when I turn the key the lights dim it clicks but won't crank. Any ideas? Really frustrating, tried jumping it and I couldn't get jumper cables to spark when they touch the terminals , but the car lights come on so idk.

Got the LIM off today and low an behold the entire thing was filled to the brim with coolant. Cleaned the LIM and got the new gaskets in place replaced the elbow that goes from the tensioner assembly in to the LIM. GOT the lower intake manifold torqued back in and tensioner assembly In and realized ...

Thanks for the help ordered those as well. Started tearing everything apart today while the weather cleared got everything out of the way and off ready to get the fuel rail off and get to digging in once the parts get here tuesday.

Got the TB off and peeked inside the UIM it's full of coolant and a ...
