Hi all,
A few months ago I cleaned the throttle body and butterfly valve with some intake cleaner and rag....I also pulled the original IAC valve out and cleaned it with carb cleaner.
Initially a ton of white smoke came out of exhaust on first startup after I cleaned it (which seemed normal because some cleaner went down into the body) but it's been 2 months now and i keep getting alot of white smoke out of exhaust.
It smokes a little on idle, and when in Park and revving engine you see alot of it coming out.
Also I noticed that right on startup the other day, like right away, beads of water were coming out of pipe.
Engine feels a little bit rough, not misifiring, but something ain't right.
I never replaced the original IAC valve, just cleaned it, didn't take off the gasket because it was stuck on one side, although the gasket is obviously very old and brittle (1997)
Lastly, when opening up butterfly valve and looking through the other side, there was soooooo much black crusty, gunky crap all caked around on inside, but I never cleaned it.
Please help, going to the mountains in a week.
My buddy told me to run CataClean?
