Guys I'm in desperate need of help! I just did my plenum and after I put it all back together my check engine light came on, it studders when I accelerate, and now I'm pouring out coolant. Please help! What do I do? Where or what do I check? I need it running right by Sunday night! I work at 4am on Monday! Please help me!

 

Everything went smoothly I thought?? I put a 180° thermostat on as well, don't know if that changes anything...

 

Code is P0208. And leak appears to be coming from where the radiator hose connects to the thermostat...

 

Need a better clamp?

 

Double check the #8 injector connector and look for any pinched wires. As for the water leak... pull the accessory bracket and see where its coming from. Could be the water neck isnt sealed well...

 

#8 injector wasn't plugged in all the way. And thermostat wasn't sealed properly. Bought a new gasket and using a healthy amount of RTV. Hopefully this solves it. Thanks to a thread I was reading, can't remember who said it, but if you turn the key from on to off three times, the third time the digital mileage and trip display will show the codes of a CEL. Helped me out a lot!

 

Got a new clamp on there since I had some laying around as well

 

Well my not-so-smart self forgot to put the clamp on the small hose next to the thermostat that runs to the heater core -_- put it on and no more leak! Truck seems to be running better now! Thanks guys!

 

well .... low and behold, i now need a plenum plate. and was hoping that someone out there had one other than the hughes engines had for sale. looked on ebay, and no luck finding one.
found plenty of gaskets, but no plates.

 

I found this Plenum Plate on ebay and bought one, pretty good deal and it's a good piece.
Doesn't come with the gaskets or bolts but it was easy to get from the auto parts store, pretty fast shipping too.
Check it out...
