Hi guys!
I've just recently cleaned my IACV valve (be removing the Throttle body), with liberal use of intake cleaner.
I started the car up, there was plenty of white smoke at the back, I thought it would quickly burn off the excess cleaner still in the system.
A minute or so later the car started misfiring, I got the error code for random misfires in all cylinder, still with a lot of white smoke.
I ran the car for a couple of minutes, nothing changed (still misfiring and emitting a lot of white smoke).
The coolant seems to be at the same level as before, and the car had no problems before cleaning the IACV, I also made sure to connect all the wires correctly.
What could have gone wrong? Is it possible that the cleaner is burning off so slowly, or did some sensor get messed up because of it?
Thank you for the answers!
