Ok I was driving and the car started to lose power. So I give it more gas to get home and I notice white puffy smoke out the tailpipes. I turn the car off and it is like thick white fog coming out the right tailpipe all slow (stays there almost 2-3 min after car was shut off). So I pull the spark plugs and they are brownish. I look in the intake nothing there. I let the car sit for a few days then I started the car and it was puffing white smoke again. I shut it off and tried to start again and it locked up. I pushed the car in the garage and pulled the intake mainfold off and noticed there was water and fuel about a centimeter deep in the intake. When I got it off the 2nd intake runner towards the front of the car on the head (on passenger side) is filled to the top with water/fuel? the other 7 runners I can see to the valves. I visually inspected the intake mainfold for and cracks and there aren't any. The intake gaskets kinda looked crappy but I was wondering what could cause this? I have 02 GT intake with the aluminum crossover and I inspected for cracks and filled the intake up with water to check for leaks and nothing. I have a supercharger on it but it only been on there for about 500 miles and the car has 50,000 miles...

are you sure its water cus if its gas it gives smoke out the tail pipe and it could be a stuck open injector? just a guess??? take a q-tip and dip it in watever that liquid is and light it see if it totally ignites like gas or smell it??? and locked up? like how locked up like any sounds or just wont turn over can you get a big ratchet and turn the motor over at the crank pulley?

it's definitely water/antifreeze if you get thick white smoke. Excess gas would give a very black smoke. It would have to be a blown head gasket?

[titanet]

yeah true but he sounded kinda confused on water/fuel? and it should really come out of both pipes he has an x-pipe right? maybe i dunno just wanted to throw some guesses out there? and the water fills his intake? water doesn't go up if its a head gasket at least i've never seen one. it usually enters the combustion and thats how you get the white smoke no? we need more info... he said it locked up i haven't hear of that from a head gasket unless it cracks a piston ad freezes the motor? whats the oil on the dip stick look like is it black or creamie like choco milk? smell the exhaust does it smell like burnt antifreeze was the water in the itake that you found green? or orange depending on the antifreeze you use? let us know

It does sound like its Hydro-locked, thats a lot of coolant and you can't compress water. With the spark plug removed you should be able to spin it and it should blow coolant out of the SP hole. Did the coolant level go down, it should have. As stated, check the oil for water in it but it does sound like a head gasket. If you can get it cleaned out, run a compression test, you don't need to reinstall the intake to do that, just shut off the fuel before you do it. If the #'s are good you might be luckly and have a bad intake gasket but its a long shot, good luck.

I dried everything up and pulled the spark plugs to air out the combustion chambers. I drained the oil and it has no water in it. Just changed it 3 weeks ago and it's not milky or have any water spots in it. The I also kept about 6 ounces of the black watery fluid (looks like pepsi) from my intake. I drained it in a water bottle. I went ahead and poured about an ounce on the garage floor and it ignited right away and burned clean for 25-30 seconds. I'll let it sit a couple days to air everything out. I will probably to a compression check next.

if it ignited and looks like pepsi its prolly oil/fuel mixture not water so i wouldn't worry as if it was water. JMO i would get new intake gaskets maybe get it back together and take it in for a tune up and let it **** up at the dealer maybe they'll fix it thinking they ****** it up i dunno? good luck

hey one last thing check your pvc valve thats a way oil can get into your intake? how many miles you got on it?

[titanet]

oops sorry bout the curse words forgot!

[02GT]

The car has 52,233 miles. I'll get new gaskets and see if I can start the car. Thanks

[titanet]

well had any luck? just wondering if you've tried anything?
