That might be the Purge solenoid. Check it out! My purge solenoid wasnt even hooked up properly until I discovered that when I was working on the engine.

 

same issue here 2 weeks ago, the white is a vacuum line, the green is a vent with protector to keep anything from entering it. it is just how it is supposed to be.

 

Can other things be affected by this oil pooling in there, or even burning it?

 

The first post of this thread will inform you of the many happenings involving this issue. The most common effected parts are a failed cat, o2 sensors, cylinder #8 misfire leading to that # plug fouling and many will argue that it can lead a cracked head..etc.

 

Just installed the kit about 3 weeks ago and im having some weird symptoms. First im having a major loss of hot air when the heater is on and my battery gauge has moved further right than normal.

 

Sounds like either you missed a ground (double check them all DO NOT OIL ANY, make sure they are clean and tight), the main wiring went bad due to being moved around a lot, or (as happened to here) a bad battery cable... Which if the main harness goes bad be prepared to have a bad PCM as it can fry it...

 

Thanks for the info. Ill check in the morning and follow up if the problem is still there.

 

i need help! i installed the hughes plenum kit about a month ago and when i pulled my tb off the other day to clean it i noticed oil pooling in the manifold....AGAIN! i know i did everything the manual said. bolts were installed in correct pattern at correct torque. only thing i didnt do was use blue loctite on the bolts and that was because it already had red loctite on them.

any suggestions before i yank the manifold off and use it for target practice?

 

Some oil is normal in there due to the PCV.....

 

well that takes a load off.....ill monitor it for awhile then. if its still sucking oil ill be posting a vid of what a 1oz slug does to a plenum ;]. thanks for the reply
